including tax but excluding ebay & paypal fees, the cost is about $1110Can. you have very little profit. that is why i don't sell new systems as i buy them already made & just charge for my time.

I think you ought to advertise either via your own website or off the internet. There are just too many PCs out there on ebay, most of them awful, and since those are cheaper, those get sold. There's very little market for well made PCs on ebay. A better idea for PCs on ebay is to find cheap special offers on components and sell them. Me and a friend managed to make £13 between us on a £60 graphics card once that way!
