Right, My current PC was built back in 05 so I think it's time for me to upgrade to a new system. I am first planning to sell my current PC on ebay to shave off some money I am using for the new build, but I have no idea how much it will go for nowadays.
I am looking for an estimate(roughly) on how much my system will go for.
If you are taking bits out you are already putting a lot of potential buyers off, as most people that would buy an older system won't know what to do to get it working with new parts, plus it becomes a real pain.
Older systems sell for more money in local papers, as then you open up your sale to all those poeple that are looking for a first PC that don't have internet access, and the price you get will go up, as you get buyers that can't afford a new PC.
You may want to consider doing a complete stripe down and selling everything individually.
I bought a system off ebay for £80, took out the cpu which was selling for over that on its own, then sold all the parts off seperately and got my money back.
Just did a quick check, and people are selling a complete system with D925 3.0Ghz, 1GB RAM, 250GB HDD, Vista, wireless, keyboard/mouse, speakers all for £195 with 3 yr warranty.
You therefore need to look at competition, and for second hand kit it's massive.
