r/pcflipping

EDIT: Thanks everyone for the useful input, really appreciate this community!

Got my old gaming pc listed for $350 obo and haven’t gotten a single message in a week. It’s an i7-7700, GTX 1070, 16GB RAM, Z170N Gaming 5. I actually used it as a home server for a while after upgrading my main rig.

Performance is still honestly decent for games like GTA5, RDR2, Arma 3, etc., but the thing looks old as hell. Ugly outdated case, no RGB, no SSD installed currently, nothing that makes it look appealing on fbm.

Do you guys think it’s worth throwing in a cheap SSD, rgb fans, maybe a nicer case to make it look more modern and easier to sell, or should I just part it out at this point?

P.S. The picture was taken before I cleaned the dust and managed the cables lol.

bought this pc for 65.- and the gpu (1660 ti) for 80.- and i have it listed for 320.- (negotiable). Is the price good?

is this pc good for flipping and what should i look for my next flip or avoid?

specs are i7 4790, gtx 1660 ti, 2x8gb ddr3, 232gb ssd, corsair cx600m 600w and h97e-m motherboard.

i am a beginner at pc flipping and wanted to ask for tips.

Bought this last Sunday, guy wouldn't budge much on price at all, still surprised nobody got this before I saw it since it had been listed for over a week. I ended up paying $1100 after some unsuccessful lowball attempts lmao. Sold the 64GB Vengeance for $500 and then sold the CPU, Mobo, Case and PSU for $600 lol... (I also threw in some shitty mouse, keyboard and AIO that I had lying around but used peripherals are worthless and I mightve gotten $30 for the AIO so not really counting that) That's my $1100 back now I have 3x 2TB 980 Pros and that 4k monitor to sell. I also took that Corsair AIO out and threw it in my main build since I been wanting one with a screen but had been waiting for it to fall into my lap, worked out.

As the title states, I listed this pc not too long ago on marketplace and had some comments on the post, saying that the pc was not upgradable nor worth the price. I listed it for $400 USD OBO ( i don't expect to get 400, from my experience ppl always haggle) A guy commented on the post saying that the pc has no upgradability and that the pc is worth $100. I call Bs on that, I believe its worth $250-350. I spent a total of $220 on the build, Is the random commenter right, am I over pricing my the pc ? where do you guys think I should list it for and should much I should expect.

Scraped most parts of the used market but everything works fine/ as good as new (i myself used it for about a month)

Can you help me price it? Scraping the parts was fun but i now am need of money for a student trip :/ ((German market))

Guy messaged me and asked for a lower price but when I said it’s firm he called me a scalper and left the chat. It was a 1TB WD Blue SN5000 NVME. I listed it for $100. From what I can tell one of the cheapest 1TB NVME is around $140. This NVME I’m selling is brand new and not opened. It’s basically $40 off of retail for other NVMEs

What else does this build need to be more appealing.

More storage? More fans? Better cooler?

hey guys so yesterday I said I was going to buy this gpu for around 275$ and I got it today, its a 3080ti. The guy who sold it to me told me he was a esports broadcaster or something like that for iracing and this gpu wasnt as good as the one he got. Anyways so im home to test it and plug it in, when I realize I only have a 600w psu or something around there and it doesnt have 3 pins to plug in, only 2.

The 3080ti needs 3 and it uses a lot of power, so the only way I could test it is if I bought a psu. Do you guys think I should just resell it on ebay as it is or should I buy a psu to test it?

Me and the seller are trying to negotiate on the price. What’s a good offer where I can still make money by putting in a 9070xt or 5070? I offered $800 and he turned it down.
