How long till sell.

I put my computer in my signature up for sale on craiglist in toledo. I asked for 1000$ and it comes with free lightscribe software and tom clancy's HAWX. it's only been used for about a month. How long do you think before i get an offer? My only offer so far in the last 3 days have been 1 scammer

Desktops also seem to take longer on Craigslist. I sold a laptop that wasn't even that good in like 30min within posting. Crazy too because that was my first time selling something. And was getting cluttered with email after emails.

So, I become confident and thought hey, I could sell my gaming desktop and then build a new one. My desktop was probably 1000x better gaming wise/even performance wise. Yet it took me nearly a month to sell and I had to go about $100 less than I expected. =(

Now this hopefully wont happen to you, but just be patient. And if you can get a offer for around 50-70bucks less than what you want. And its your only offer, Take it. I could of sold it for just 50 less if I wouldnt have been so confident. Of course, it took me 3 more weeks + 50 more off asking price just to sell it. So I certainly learned my lesson.

Drop your price to around $650-700. It's not going to sell at its current price. People on Craigslist are cheapskates.

That thing isn't worth $1000, especially not used.

Case:CoolerMaster690 ($69.99)

PowerSupply:Corsair750TX ($109.99)

Motherboard:EP45 - uncertain which model you have (pricing from $100 to $190)

Cpu:Q9400 ($189.99)
Gpu:XfXHd48901gb ($199.99)
HardDrive:Seagate320gbHD ($49.99)
Ram:4gbCorsairXMS2DDR2ram - uncertain which model (roughly $80)

OpticalDrive: Samsung Dvd Burner w/ Lightscribe - uncertain which model (maybe $35)

OS:Windows7&WindowsXp - Win 7 is currently free (if you downloaded it in time), or you can find OEM copies of XP for $90

Total cost = Just over $900 to $1000 - depending on which models you have for a MB, RAM and DVD drive.

Not to mention the fact that the computer is used, even if it's used for just a short period of time (like in your case a month or so), it's still a used computer. Hopefully you can get a good $900 from it, but in all honesty I wouldn't pay more then $800 for it since it's used.

Let's not also forget the fact that the HD 4890 cards have dropped by almost $50 in the past 1-2 months, which doesn't help you pricing your computer out.

Be patient, hold steady to your pricing for a bit and after a while if nothing happens then take up the idea of lowering the price a little. If you just put your item and people are looking at it and they start to see you drop pricing right away, they might think something is wrong if you're trying to sell fast. Also they'll watch you drop your price more and more until you're basically giving the computer away.
