How to sell a custom PC/how much is this thing worth?

Post Reply New Topic

I recently bought a laptop and am now selling my old PC. I built this PC myself and have about $2000 invested. I'm selling it for $400, but I worry that it may be too high. Here's the Ebay ad:

The reason I'm selling is that to upgrade it to Windows 7 would cost more than the cost of a brand new laptop-it was running Vista (ick). I am selling the Vista disk separately and I put Ubuntu on the box so that the buyer could see it working. My mom loaned me the money for a laptop, and wants me to sell the old PC and pay her back. I bought a HP 635 laptop with an AMD chip. I also worry that not being able to ship that big, bulky desktop is a definite minus. Anybody have any suggestions on how to sell this thing?

MODS: I am not posting this as a for sale ad, I am asking opinions on how to sell it.

I can't give old computers away. No one wants them.

looks about right, actually... the 1st-gen i3 is a decent rig and a monitor is included... plus it's "OBO" giving room to negotiate.
