Interested in selling my old PC parts, need a ? answered

[Hammer1-1]

So Im building a new PC. The old one is an 8086k in an Asus Maximus X Formula board, 128gb of Gskill Trident Z, a Thermaltake Riing 360 setup plus an evga 1000w power supply. Question is what would be a great price to sell it at? Ive maintained it pretty well, and its been heavy use...but its also still a great damned PC. The tower is old: its a Corsair 760T-ish, its kind of an upgraded case that had the aluminum side panel and added the plexiglass from a 760T but its missing the front piece for the disc drive...but have had it for the better part of a decade if not longer. None of the capacitors are swollen, plenty of life in the unit as a whole.

What you people think I should sell it for? It held my RTX3080ti for some time quite well, but my new rig is going to have practically all new parts, but Im not selling any of the M2 drives.

And in case you're wondering, Im getting a Cooler Master HAF700 Evo case. I start building it on tuesday.

128GB of RAM, that's quite a lot!  
What frequency/latency is that RAM? ...price will vary accordingly.

The i7 8086K was a special (high bin) edition of the i7 8700K (6c/12t) and was the best consumer CPU in its time (late 2017 to mid 2018), awesome for OC'ing.
The Asus Maximus X Formula was also an excelent motherboard (also awesome for OC'ing), same for the Thermaltake Riing 360 AIO.
Corsair Graphite 760T even if completely out of fashion these days, it was a very good (and expensive) case and will do fine.

The problem, as you suspect, is that you're selling a top of the line spec system base of some 5 years ago. It has still plenty of life usage in it and pretty good performance for sure, but yeah... any latest mid-range system can now easily match it.
If sold separately, the parts are worth more, but it'll probably take longer. Unfortunately, if selling as a package with all the parts together, price will have to fit below prices of latest mid-range systems.

It's all open to speculation, but for a "package with all the parts together" sale I'd say around 800€:

• >170€ for the I7 8086K processor (but is worth a LOT more for collectionists).
• >150€ for the Asus Maximus X Formula motherboard.
• ~100€ for the Thermaltake Riing 360 AIO
• >100€ for the Corsair Graphite 760T case.
• 300€ to 600€ for the RAM, depending on the specs of that DDR4 128GB kit.

Then there's the shipping prices... it's not going to be cheap considering total weight and size, if selling and sending it altogether.

You don't mention if the GPU is going to be sold but, FYI, a used RTX3080Ti alone (in mint condition) is still worth ≥650€.

Maybe consider a base starting price for bidding on Ebay, with a "Make a direct offer" option along with the auction? 
If you do so, announce it to your fellow DCS forum members, posting the link for it in the "For Sale" section here.

It's hard to sell for good money in such a constellation, I also suggest splitting it up, it's not too many parts to be an overkill eBay scenario

Hardly anyone who is out for a cheap gaming solution will pay you the extra RAM when most would be happy with 16GB for most games, maybe 32GB.

Maybe Board + CPU as a bundle and Case + PSU as a bundle. AIO may be added to either one if that makes sense for the buyer ( it fits either one combo).

Or a friend who gives you 500 cash, quick & easy.

Model#'s typically help, as Ram pricing varies more by latency and platform now than size.

I bought the ram for 350$ while it was on sale. I had (still have actually) 32gb of the same ram @ 3200ghz. Ofc I have a lot of stuff accumulated over the years with this computer, along with 4-5 different SSDs, a 4 pack of HDD tb hard drives that can go with it, but it isnt going to be shipped. Ive been building on this computer since 2011 but none of this computer is from 2011...except my first SSD. Yes, it still has original equipment.............

Anyways, the RTX3080ti is getting recycled into my new build. Ive had it a year, the next gen 40**ti series cards are going to be just as hard to find when they release, so Im keeping the video card until then.
