Best place to sell computers.

I really need cash so i want to sell my computer. And i think im going to start selling computers for profit. What's the best builds to build and get maximum profit for. And wheres the best place to sell used and new computers. And one more thing. When you sell a computer, do you install the os, or do you just give them the box, and what's the best os to buy if your going to sell.

I would try Ebay and I would allow people to chose their OS.

Talk to Jiggly_Wiggly about TechNet, so you can get the best OSes.

you could try craigslist. It matters what kind of computer your selling, if your selling an average computer it'd most likely be to a casual pc person (someone whos not to tech savvy) then you should put an OS on it (go with the windows) If your selling a nice gaming pc the buyer will most likely know a thing or two about computers and will most likely know what OS they want, so don't put an OS on it.

Jiggly Wiggly? Technet? And why would that affect getting the best osses im lost. lol.RedxSniper

Jiggly Wiggly is a user here on GameSpot who has TechNet, which I think is A Microsoft service which allows you access to the newest OSes even earlier than their release @ an annually rate. IDK ask him to get into the details.

Technet is a Microsoft service that allows you to download and use all of their OS's currently available and also Microsoft Office suites, and a few other things. It costs $350 a year but you can download as many OS's that you want. The downside is that you aren't supposed to sell these OS's or give them away to other people so you're not really allowed to sell a system with that OS on it. Duckman5

What would i ask him tho? What the best os is?RedxSniper

Yeah but i'm doing it so i can help my dad pay off loans he has. So i'll probably charge 100-200$ over. Either way it still makes the computer alot less then buying it pre-built. I mean my computer the one i run, costs 800 to build. It costs 1,500$ at alienware so.. And they don't even use quality pieces, like mine.RedxSniper

Lmao look at this http://cgi.ebay.com/Gaming-Computer-6-0-Dual-Core-640GB-Radeon-4200-HD-HDMI_W0QQitemZ260467918234QQcmdZViewItemQQptZDesktop_PCs?hash=item3ca519059a&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14#ht_4430wt_1165 that computer could probably be built for 200$.RedxSniper

[QUOTE="RedxSniper"] not really I'd say around $300 maybe a little more. True though that that computer doesn't have much value (case and power supply are no name). Anyway maybe you and I can help each other out. I happen to be a walking encyclopedia so you can ask me anything anytime.UltimateGamer95

Thanks :) And yeah i'd love to help. I've actually just put my computer in my sig up for 1000$ on craiglist and i'll see what i'll get. I doubt i'll get anything because most people nowadays goes by numbers, but we'll see. I really hope i sell it. If i do, i'll need to learn how to reformat this windows 7, and get rid of my xp, because *cough* it shouldn't be there if you know what i mean.RedxSniper

heres one more person who wants to try this!

ive thought about it before, but if you go to ebay, you see that theres tonnes of custom made pcs, and they dont really seem to be selling.

u know what i didw a few months ago?, i bought barebone kits from tigerdirect which actually gives u like what the parts would cost $800. they'ed give u a discount so u can get it for like $750 so anyway i bought barebones like the $700 ones and build it and sell it on craigslist for like $1000-$1100!!!! it was easy money

I'm trying to sell the computer in my sig for 1000$ on craiglist, and someone replied saying "I just built that same setup that you have listed for $800 shipped on newegg, stop trying to screw people over!" What should i reply. I don't want to look like im screwing people over. Because i mean it's less then a pre-built but more then a own-built so it's in between i guess. It cost me 800$ to make. RedxSniper

Honestly? Or as a joke? By joke i mean, did you mean that as a joke. Or should i honestly reply that to him. + mine has an os

I think that alot of people would like i7 920s. And if you get them a good video card, and really cheap parts, you can make a good profit.

This'd kinda be like a con(Ponzischeme) where people already know that the CPU is good so you can charge a price alot more than the cost.

Don't i7 build cost alot tho?RedxSniper

People believe that they have to be alot, so you give 'em an i7 920 with a decent video card(or better if they want), add really cheap parts and you can charge alot!; If you have any integrity, you wouldn't do it, but I'm just sayin' its probably the best way to get profits.

Lol i need money so i might just do that when i sell this computer. I put it off for 1000$ which is honestly a reasonable price, on craiglist. For the i7 920's, put it on ebay right? cuz lately comps dont seem to be selling there.RedxSniper

Yes but where do i find people who want to order a computer from someone who isn't necessarily a "pro"RedxSniper

Check this guy's video out I subscibe to him on YouTubehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8AtdlvBYb8&feature=channel_page

See the thing that scares me with that though is that opens a big opportunity for scammers and say they back out the last second, now i got a computer that might not sell.RedxSniper

See if anyone in your family would like you to build one such as cousins or uncles./p>

I, like many people, wouldn't make a profit off of family.
