  I'd Gumtree it, eBay can be such a (profanity) with the listing fees etc.

    You only have to sell it for 16% higher than Gumtree for it to make sense money wise and there is so many more people on eBay = more chance of less bargain savvy buyers.

    Plus you don't have to deal with people making offers.

    Not really true. Take advantage of $1.00 final value fee every weekend or free ones every now and then.

    I sell 1-2 random things I need to get rid of every few weeks, and eBay has worked out pretty good for me so far - and I paid $2 in fees in last few months.

  I'd say around the $400 mark.

    Uhh, if you're willing to sell this machinee for $400 I'll take it off your hands.

        Yeah I would've said something closer to $600 if you want to move it fairly quickly, push it to $800 ish if you're not in a rush and you'll probably still find a buyer.

        The problem with these kinds of things on the used market is this: the kind of people who'll know the parts and what they're worth, and willing to take a risk on used parts - they'll also be the same people who'll know enough to want to go with the latest gen everything.

        And the people who don't care… also won't know enough about PC parts to either know what you're system is worth, or be willing to risk buying used parts.

      Just noticed the CPU lol.

      Probably closer to $700 with the cpu and board probably still worth around $300.

  Go to eBay, copy paste first component, say CPU, into ebay search ("i7-6700K"), select used, select sold and sort how you like (low to high for example) - now you can see the prices people actually paid for items. Use - in search to remove results eg. -AMD

  Look at any "too good to be true" prices, if the vendor has very low transactions and feedback score it's probably a scam and can be ignored.

  I usually price things at above average prices, higher if I don't mind waiting but it's always good to remember that 80% of something is better than 100% of nothing so lower your prices if necessary.

  Post it on Facebook marketplace. You'll get 100+ views a day.

    Yes I tried FB market yesterday. Sold a mattress in one day with 8 people interested vs 1 person on gumtree.
    Recommended.

  Overclockers is the place to sell something like that, you will get abit less than ebay, but no fees and usually cash on pickup.

  High estimate would be over $700 under $1100.

  Maybe even less because older parts and second hand.

  The 980ti is pretty much comparable to the GTX 1070.

  The 6700K is pretty much comparable to the i5-8400.

  Have seen prebuilts for those go around the number mark here on ozbargain and eBay, cheaper on gumtree.

  Around $700 would be my assessment also.

  My 6700k is still beasting on @ 4.6ghz

  Around $750

  The GTX980Ti is worth $380-400

    Put it up in the classifieds here too - it's free and we get a lot of people putting together PC builds.

  I would say $1000 easily, cpu, ram, gpu and storage is about 800, the rest can add up to easily 200+
