I love when people try to make it seem like you're getting a deal when they tell you the msrp prices of 6 years ago. people are delusional
And They say that's what Amazon has it for . I always say bro u selling a use item u check use prices , also check when the item came out . Would u buy an iPhone 1 for 1000😅
@NeVErseeNMeLikEDis a sealed original iphone goes for $40,000+ 👀

They're not delusional. They're banking on someone they can take advantage of not knowing any better.
Actually they are dishonest
For meeting up: a lot of police stations now have designated areas either in their building or parking lot for Facebook marketplace meetups. Always encourage that if it’s an option
Amazing.
Total genius. Awesome idea
Nah, I'll take a random dodgy looking apartment in the middle of nowehere that I went to pick up a 6800xt for $350 a few months back haha.
Yeah, I think they call it the parking lot
Just have all your transactions filmed directly by law enforcement. That's not asking for trouble at all.
pro tip: if it says "high end"
it ISN'T high end.
no, your 1650 and 3060 is not high end, and the msrp you overpaid has no meaning.
I list a higher end build as "exceptional" for just this reason. Yes, even today, a 12700K + RTX 3080 is pretty high end, but if you list it that way people are suspicious
Unfortunately closer to higher mid-end. High end nowadays is something like a 4080 super and above or 7900xtx @@johnhicks8626
So where would you put that in?
3060 Ti is entry level or mid Tier?
@@johnhicks8626 why not just list it as "Gaming PC - 12700k/3080" so people have an idea of whats actually in it and that the ad isn't a waste of time? i saw a few ads in the video listed like that and it made the most sense to me.
@@RSpracticalshooting I often do that too. I've tried several ways to garner attention... but my specs are always clear and what is new is shown separately from what is repurposed.
After your video I decided to look at the marketplace just to see what they had and the first one I came across was a listing for an "MSI godlike" mobo and the picture was of a gigabyte board. And the others I saw had absolutely ridiculous pricing for old hardware.
i now just go in there to have a laugh, it's like that in all countries.
i bought a way better system "brand new" for the same price of worse used pc's in fb marketplace. i will always buy peace of mind and get new stuff especially if it's a high ticket item that i need everyday.
@@UrbanGrafixltd It's ridiculous what they're asking for this stuff. I just build my own PC's and servers.
Right. I saw one the other day that said Liquid cooled but was very clearly air cooled in the pictures. lol
@@TheVelorian Yeah, it's not just lies but stupid lies. It amazes me the crap people try to get away with. I've seen listings for a "gaming pc" for $1200 with a Ryzen 3700 and a GTI 1060 and saying how great it plays AAA games.
@@Jimthenealslol for $120 less i bought a system with an R7 5700x, rtx3060 12gb, 32gb ram, 1to m.2, 750w PSU... all parts are brand names with 1-year warranty, does what i need and more! i was having literal headaches when i was dealing with marketplace guys before i decided to give them the finger. Best decision ever!
Dude that 6750 xt build is solid for 500. Thats insane. Prebuilts for that would be like $1200
That prebuilt was 1,400 2 or 3 years ago, I know this because I bought one lol. The slate Mesh 6 I buypower PC runs really cool too. 500 is a steal for that.
The graphics card alone is worth over half of that build - literally paid £320 ($410) for one new 3 weeks ago. So $90 for the rest of the components? I get the graphics card isn't new though.
It's a better deal than the $400 PC from Jay's previous video.
There are some generous people out there, I think it's very rare, but it happens.
AMD second hand market is crazy, I got a $240 used 6700xt and şt might be my best decision (3060ti sellers ghosted me)
Back when I sold my used stuff I priced it around 50-60% of the original price. Most people who messaged me asked if it was for parts or is it broken since it was the cheapest on the marketplace. 😅
At 7:35, where you see that price discrepancy between listings, it is important to note that one was 8GB and the other was a 16GB model. The one in that PC has the 16GB model.
Still not at all worth that for a 16GB 4060ti 😭😭
i noticed that too! it's just jayz being jayz 🤣
@@UrbanGrafixltdJayz being Lay-z.
@@CantankerousDavei'm surprised the editor kept that, totally meant to get a reaction from people like us 🤣
“No low balling, I know what I got!!”
always love that one.. i also love messing with people that put that on their listing by listing out the exact prices of everything they have.
Then you have those that cannot afford $2 for a 4090 anyways.
there's this pawn shop near me that just went out of business. Things in there were priced higher than new, the owner was an old boomer who once said exactly that to me. I swear it was actually a front for something.
Honestly lowe ballers help. Ive got really good deals from sellers who are relieved to get a reasonable offer and accept quickly after getting lowballed so much.
Aids usually
I find myself thinking I am a bad pc dad for the rigs I built our sons. Then I see these things J is looking at and I realise my standards are just really high. Our 6 y/o uses a 6700xt with a Ryzen 5 5700x and cost well under £1,000 letting me know how all over the place your prices are. Some of these rigs Jay looked over were genuine budget gamer scabby , smoke crack, rigs.
Cheers for the look.
A 6 year old playing on better specs than me?? I was on ps2 and Xbox 360 at 6 😂
lol ya, your standards are too high unless you're just passing down old hardware which is what i've always done so the systems they have are a bit overkill for what they need. then their previous system gets donated or are given to other kids at their school because i just can't be bothered to resell shit.
Those are my exact specs and I'm in my 40's. Your son/daughter is fortunate.
@@bruhbruhman349 I was playing Game & watch games when I was 6 🤣🤣. The first NES came later.
@@bruhbruhman349 Your parents must have been rich to have 2 game systems. My dad got me (himself) a PS1 for Christmas when I was 6. I wanted an N64, but Final Fantasy and Gran Turismo were a worthy trade for Donkey Kong. The family PC could barely run point-and-click adventure/puzzle games, definitely nothing with 3D graphics.
Not sure about elsewhere, but our local police department is a popular spot to meet for high value meetups. Failing that, a major store parking lot during the day, with someone with you :)
Having an extra body is a big thing. Not only for "reinforcement" but especially to be a buffer. 1 on 1, it is extremely difficult to pay attention to the item you are there to look at.
Side note; if in the US and legal in your state, or you otherwise have legal means. Carry protection, and not the rubber kind. At least when dealing with high value purchases.
I will say, pay attention to videos such as this, and learn to make informed decisions. Prebuilts are nice, but not always efficient. I always trust what I build over what can be bought.
Hey Jay, you are right about people selling damage system trying to get fast cash. I have a few part around the house and I'm able to build good used system to sell at a good price at times. I always tell the person to come and test system / parts out before you buy it. Plus I also stand by my builds for service if needed. I've been doing this for years. I have not had one of my system die or return to me at all. (Thank God ) Now I have use some of the used parts to upgrade a few older systems in my day. Now I do have a few people that comes just to have a system cleaned
"Trust your gut" is great advice. I've learned over the years to trust mine because it always ends up being right.
Love the video. I purchase from recyclers or companies that specialize in acquiring computers in bulk and reselling. I find purchasing from an individual they tend to be delusional on what they want to make of the sale, I know most people want to get a good sales value but you want an honest value not a delusional value IMO.
i used to work at one of those recycle centers, building those systems. had a ton of fun, and it was great putting the systems up for super low prices. a lot of parents and grandparents bought "the kid's first gaming pc" from me. made me feel really good getting that kid into proper gaming.
@@ghomerhust I respect and appreciate you
Where do I find that type of bulk recycling center? I would like to find one near me. Thank you for your help in advance.
If you're shopping, please make sure to look at the laptop market. I have seen multiple great sales and open box deals on laptops with 4050s and 4060s, and those mobile GPUs will embarrass many desktop GPUs from the 10 and 20 series (and even some of the 30-series). The 4060 mobile is not significantly slower than a 3060 Ti desktop.
RTX 4070m is much slower than RTX 3070m, has same amount of VRAM (8GB) with only 50% memory bus (128bit vs 256bit). It's not always better just looking at the naming scheme. I had a laptop with 3070m and it was actually fast enough for PCVR with HP Reverb G2, one of the best resolution headsets. 4070m is about a 3060 desktop equivalent. 3070m is about a 3060Ti desktop equivalent.
I only sell stuff for cash,in my small town we have an online in person meetup spot at our local PD that's monitored so I only meet there and never had any issues.
Was about to say this. Having a 2nd person with you means nothing when some thugs pull out a knife/gun. Use the PD for meetups, any normal person will actually find it reassuring & be glad to meet you there instead of some alley/parking lot!
Here police would laugh at you when you even suggest such service ..
yup we have the same thing here and also out front of the fire department stations but sadly it's not advertised by the PD here which is fk'ing dumb.
@@sirmonkey1985 I forget how I found out but my PD has a blue sign that say's it's for in person online sales.I agree they should say there's a place for sales meetups.
I got a PC for a friend on Facebook marketplace with a B550, Ryzen 5600, 3070, 256gb ssd, 750 watt psu, and 16gb of RAM for $640. It's not a crazy crazy deal, but I'm happy with the set up, and the case was actually clean. Optional stuff I picked up was an ethernet cable, GPU sag thingy, and I threw in an old 1tb SSD and a 1tb HDD I had laying around for extra storage. He's gaming on his old TV, so it's really only going to be pushing 60fps at 1080p. But he has so many avenues to upgrade, I'm pretty proud of the snag.
I would say that a very big red flag is sellers posting stock photos from the manufacturer instead of photos of the actual product their are selling. I have fell for that before where the seller ends up selling a product that is too damaged.
The other red flag would be sellers announcing a price that is too small for the value of the product (like that $1 guy), then acting offended when someone offers them what they are asking and keep trying to up the price on you when you make an offer. I usually filter those low values because they are either faulty/damaged products, scams that target your wallet or your data, or delusional sellers.
Thank you for the video Jay and team.
I won't waste my time with listings that have $1 as the price. May as well not have posted any info or pics. If a person wants to sell something they should make it easy for ppl to make the decision wether they want it or not without any delayed back and forth making everything drawn out and more work than need be. No actual pics is a red flag too, and prices that are too good to be true are red flags too.
I play and work with GTX 1070 Ti in my rig right now, testing it for a week after I repaired it.
I play 1440p Fallout 76, it maxes out the framerate (72 FPS cap).
It is NOT a bad card!
Same. The problem is tech RUclipsrs like Jay lose touch with the common man because they work with high end enthusiast components all the time. The fact of the matter is that most computers since 2017 can run today's games at high speeds and high graphics. Upgrading is not worth it right now unless you want a few more fps or want to show off.
Probably already mentioned, but FB won't let you ship items for over $500, so some people just put that as the price and then tell you the real price over chat...though they usually call that out in their ad.
I sold a older gaming pc with a Phenom II X4 955, 8gb ram, and an r9 270 last week for $35. Even really old stuff can still have some life left in it. All depends on what you want to use it for.
What are these sketchy comments from sketchy profiles with sketchy profile pictures. Hmmmm!!!
I know right! I was thinking that.
Bots have been getting worse all over RUclips.
Says the cat!!! 😂😂
Yeah frostedflakes with a piece of kitten bread.
A.I. used for paid marketing. We're not there yet
This is fun. Do more of these!!!
Paid $700 w/ a 2 year warranty for my new 3090 last year and i couldnt be happier. These recent generations haven't been enticing enough for an upgrade.
I had the ability to buy a 3090 for $500. Kicking myself I didn't. I mean I have a 3080, so was not hurting for performance.
New fan here. Gotta say after building gaming pcs just casually for over 15 years now I learned so many new things in your videos. You guys are hilarious and I appreciate all you guys do. I have the exact same laugh as the guy laughing at you in all your videos 😂. It sounds like an echo when Im laughing at him laughing at you lol. Sending you good vibes man. Hope to see you in good health. 🙏
Thats Phil
I know this video is geared more toward people looking to offload their used PC's but there are also many PC flippers and Local builders like myself on these platforms that build PC's for profit. Some folks don't market themselves as such but their prices may appear a bit higher because your paying for their expertise in sourcing the parts, building and testing the machine to make sure it's stable. It's not a bad way to make some side cash as long as your not trying to pull a fast one. I also wanted to comment on the "New Build Comments". I think its fair to call a build new as depending on the parts that are used because GPU's and CPU's have longevity in them and if the rest of the parts used in the system are new it is essentially a new system especially if it's been tested for stability and thermals. The build is technically new because the builder sourced the parts and Built the system and tested it. In my listings I mark which parts are new and used if any so there is no confusion. If it's a build I just cleaned up and tested then yes that would be marked as used.
well put, my build was actually roasted in this video, and i think he is a bit ignorant of the difference between people who are trying to offload their old pc, and people who are selling something with the intent of making a profit.
That 4060ti was a 16gig model - the other you found prices on were 8gig and 16gig ... Great vid as always ... :D ...
If your patient and willing to drive a decent way you can get some really good deals. I always meetup at Walmart or somewhere with a lot of people. Also if you know about PCs and what to look for, non-working PC can be really good deals. A good bit have simple issues.
Seeing these makes my build look like a steal. Built over a year ago Oct 22, 5700X, two NVMe 1TB drives, 3070 Stryx, MSI B550 MB, 32GB RAM that matches the best speed for that CPU. Parts were not bought at one time. I also don't just play video games.
Cost with tax rounded.

When it comes to meeting in public to make the sale - ask to meet someplace with a lot of cameras, like a McDonald's lobby or the local police station. My local police has a designated spot right in front next to the front door where you can meet to do internet sales.
it doesnt matter if you get robbed at a mcdonalds. None of the employees will help defend you and they wont allow you to have camera footage. They will kick you out because mcdonalds is a restaurant not a place for you to do your trade deals.
I have a brand new high end water-cooled 486 with a 1200 baud modem for sale. Mint.
Seriously though, this was fun. I think anyone that's looking to save money on a PC should just build it themselves. These listings are soooooo sketchy...
Micro Center has a good deal on a bare bones system right now. 740 bucks gets you a X670E Hero motherboard which is 650 bucks on the site by itself. A asus mid tower case, a 1000-watt Tuf power supply and a 360 mm AIO Asus model. 1500 bucks' regular price for over half off now.
My current rig was a 4th gen intel with a gtx780 I got from a buddy in 2018. Since then I’ve slowly upgraded every part, mostly with used components. Now it has a 3600 and a 2080 super with 32 gigs of Ram. Only thing original is the case and the Blu-ray drive lol my next purchase will be a higher-end 5000 series for my b450 board, either a 5800x3D or a 5900x.
Very nicely done, explaining this all to people. Over the years my Laptops, and lab servers, have been Refurbished or used. I haven't had any real issues.
Secondary SFF build I just put together from mostly used parts..
Fractal ridge + b550i aorus pro ax = $195 shipped from ebay
3700x = $115 shipped from ebay
IS67xt cooler = $42 new from amazon
1tb p3+ = $free with amazon points
2tb sn850x = $90 new from ebay
32GB lpx @ 3200 = leftover from prior build
5700xt raw II ultra = $100 from fb marketplace
open box sf850 = $84 from ebay
Sold a few parts from the prior secondary frankenstein machine I had before this so subtract ~$150. It's been great, I take it to friends houses for game nights. Waaay more portable than the pure base 500 machine that this morphed into.
My dad taught me from the moment I got into buying my PC parts that if and when I sell them, I need to accept about a 50% loss every time (note, we're talking about parts used for years, not parts I use for

I Hate scammers!
750w psu and you would have done them a great build with room for upgrading stuff without changing PSU in the future ;) Or else cool builds.. I just hate scammers too ;) All the best from Denmark
@@dane4890 There was a while the Corsair 750W shot up to $125. That was shooting yourself in the foot on a $500 or L500 build.
I got a Corsair 4000D with the guts from my old rig, a 9900KF, 360AIO a 5700xt and 1tb M.2 Inland ssd. Had a PSU and it poo'd the bed, so I had to rob one from another rig, simply because a new replacement had shot up that much.
I really find it hard to ask the money I want to ask for the rig now.... So she still sits here. I made a bad choice in cases. The Corsair 4000D is useless for mounting a 360AIO in the front, absolutely no airflow, even double stacking the radiator fans.
@@dane4890 He doesn't have the money for that, it would go over budget, and it's a 550W 80+ Gold for £20 - unused open box, new 750W is +£50!
7:44 I'm actually running that Asus 4060 Ti in my system right now. bought it in February as an upgrade from an Asus GTX 980 😅
Yeah it’s tough to sell on the used market, i have a 5600G, b550 motherboard, 16GB RAM, 512GB m.2 ssd, and a 1tb 2.5.ssd, 550W psu, and a RX6600 for sale at 550. People are just low balling me, and not offering anything less than 300, like nah, I’d rather wait, and sell it at what I’m asking for.
i just got a all white custom pc with a 3080 all white. i7-13700K. 32 gigs t-force ddr5 ram. lian li O11 DYNAMIC RGB case. liquid cooled lian li. all fans lian li rgb. gave him 900 bucks and my steam deck. what a steal.
I still run a 3770k oc'd to 4.8 all core with 16 GB of 2400 mhz g skill ram and a rtx 2080. No real concerns so far since the most intense game I play is wonderlands/borderlands 3.
Edit: I managed to snag everything minus the case for around $600 right around the start of "the pandemic." I'll upgrade once I get a newer cpu/ram/mobo combo used for around $200.
*I have a secondary account to throw those low ball offers out* 🤣 😂🤣
thats a great idea and then use your main account to off a little bit more than the low ball offer.
yoink lol what a great idea
Careful with that, it's against the ToS. Sometimes FB cracks down hard and bans both accounts, other times they don't seem to care at all.
Use the secondary account to ask if they are on crack 😅
Smiling!
I don't go by date especially in marketplace, I see the same listing from week to week that say, listed a day ago. That when you put 100 mile area and you get listings from 2000 miles away.
And I thought the few bucks I was originally going to ask for the second system I built out of my old left over parts was asking too much. I guess it was just best I decided keep it because it's eventually going to be a games server when possible. :)
This is less a video on how to spot good PC deals on Facebook, and more a documentary on the Negative Effects of Social Media, the Dunning Kruger Effect, and the long-term side effects of Drug & Alcohol addiction.
At the same time you have folk that will not buy until they can get a 4090 for $10.
So sometime in the mid 2030's I suppose
Some people need to be more specific with their parts lists. Being too general in the description is a major red flag for me.
Interesting "color" for the computer shown just before the 12:00 mark... lol
That was the second time it happened first one is at 5:46
it's because of some reason that is changed to Spanish.
I'm a bit reticent about buying used PCs, for various reasons. I like to buy parts individually and assemble myself.
I just sold a system with an i7 8700, 32GB of RAM and a 3060 12GB with 2TB of storage. I did not market it as high end and I sold it for $620. It really helped that the competition in that price range were people that spent a lot of money on cases and RGB, and put turds in them. Think R5 2600X with an RX 580 and 16GB of RAM, marketed like some of these deluded people.
I feel like the ram and GPU did the heavy lifting in that price
@@JeskidoYT Yep, for sure.
I’m so glad I found my pc a few days ago, I’d love it if he saw my setup. Two weeks ago for $550 I snagged a Ryzen 3700x, with a zotac gaming 3070 in an abs case (it’s bulky but shiny lights 😅)
Runs like a top dog for what I need, playing Fortnite, hell divers, and many other games.
Sadly the used market in my country is basically not existent. So many people either overrating their parts and not willing to go down, unscrupulous sellers or generally low availability for parts. In the U.S though you probably can snag a lot of deals.
I've been doing online buy & sale PC deals since 2010, I have gained very good experience meeting new people and dealing with them, sometime i go to their place and sometime they come to my place, that's how i have been building my PCs ever since.
Just on the 4060 Ti section 7:43. The price you compared on google, the $600+ card is 16GB and the $300+ is an 8GB cards.
Something to consider when getting Intel 12th, 13th or 14th Gen.. Jay goes into it often but if they have a high end motherboard, it is quite likely there is CPU degradation from high OCs from folks that know how to or worse high voltage from folks that don't do any optimizations.. just points to ponder. I read folks on the forums complaining about their CPUs degrading often.
“lolol you on crack”
I’m here for just for that energy 😂😂😂
On eBay, to find the price people actually pay and not some of the scammy stuff still listed, go into filters and tick 'sold items'. Then you have a rough guide on what to pay.
That last one with the 5700x and 6750xt. Thats a good deal.
thats a robbery waiting to happen...
Yeah but when you go to many of the good deals, it has an email address, that's all they want is for you to email them and get your addy. The car ads on craigslist has been that way for decades. You see something like a 2015 Chevy Colorado for $3700. Or it turns out the location is 2500 miles away.
Check the make of PSU on the PC cultist list as a cheep PSU can be an issue.
Getting your goods, use the car park police out side of a police station. (Surveillance Cameras.)
Also ask, some stations will say use our lobby.
And I thought my computer was obsolete w/ a 850 watt PSU, lol. In terms of not getting scammed, always ask to see the actual product before you exchange your cash. For sellers, realize that the person will ask to see the product first. Also, always tell a friend or someone else where you're meeting the seller. Tell the friend that you'll txt or call after the exchange is done and when you're back in your car. That way if something happens and you don't call the friend, that friend knows that something is wrong.
The difference between the 4060 ti's you looked at was that one had 8gb VRam and the other 16gb.
yeah still not worth $300 more when you can get a 4070 super for less than that.
@@RSpracticalshooting True. The 4060 is not worth it and is overpriced.
Dan hopping on RUclips:
Oh cool new Jay video….
Wait that was Jay who asked if I was on crack?!
Dan of LLD wouldn't sell a used computer. He'd just steal one from work and then return it when it's time to upgrade.
my tip for shopping the used market is to know what you want. if you have time to browse then you have time to do your homework. compare prices online for the lowest and if you find that they're about the same, haggle. depending on what it is, you could (hypothetically) save either $10-50 or 10-50%.
for example, i just picked up 2 monitors the other day, asking price was $150. did my homework and they accepted $100. now i got a triple monitor setup that matches perfectly in aesthetics
Yoooo😂 he said lowball since they’re from Victorville.. so true 😂
It has become a problem that there are people who associate a lot of RGB as being a gaming pc. If it has a lot of RGB, it has to be good. Unfortunately, those people do not watch your channel. Good to see you back and in good health Jay.
Corsair ram from Best Buy speaks for that remark. I call out BB because they usually only have one spec kit of RGB 32gb DDR43600 in stock in the store. That kit will not overclock for anything. 3600 is what you got. On the old z390 and a z790 absolutely no stability other than 3600 or below. Don't bother changing the CL either.....
RGB is right up there with pin stripes on your car making it go faster.
@@highlanderknight Back in the 60's and 70's, yes, I am old, you never drag raced a car that was painted in just primer. That guy was just interested in going as fast as possible and did not care what the car looked like. Also back then it was how many performance stickers you put on your car. Each one cut 1/10 of a second off your quarter mile time..
there is a reason solid metal PC cases are not popular anymore... people like to see the parts, see the fans move, and see lights blinking, hey i don't make the rules, just observe them lol
Personally I dont get people who list a part 2nd that is still available new aswell and they ask 95% of what a new one cost. Then when you offer a more reasonable 2nd hand price they tell you something like they only used it a month. Then when you ask some more questions they always have 0 reasons or prove.
Few months back I lowballed someone for an RX 6900XT. $375 and it works as good as I would expect it to! I know I got lucky but ya never know!
Actually, I no longer feel comfortable using 16GB of ram. I see my system is at 10 - 14 GB ram usage, when I'm working / gaming. I'm glad I have 32 GB.
Love your takes on the used market.
Im lucky not to be so budget bound that I need to shop used. I prefer having the guarantee, but I have sold a few items. Latest my old 3060 to a Ukrainian refugee. Nice guy BTW.
I always only sell face to face as in wanna look the other in the eyes and hand over the item without the shipping hassle.
Never have had issues.
What about selling? How can you value your pc appropriately when it’s been 2+ years since you built?
Search for gaming pc's on all seller markets, find other builds identical or close to your system. Estimate based on that.
@@Brockzillagaming but if people that post are delusional, what isn’t? Facebook MP and Craigslist won’t update with the actual sold price
Context: i5-9600k, 2070super, 32gb ddr4-3200, 1tb nvme ssd, 650w corsair psu…
Valid question
@@marco18brion not everyone, that's why you compare around.
That intel i5 and gtx1660 comments was really helpful. A work colleague got ripped off by a prebuild company, they don't know much about pc's and got an intel i5 9th gen, 16gb ddr4 and a gtx1050ti. No speeds or anymore details given as to what i5 9th gen on the website 🤦♂️
After seeing this video I really want to see a fallow up video but for home servers and how someone can get a cheap server going to learn on/ upgrade.
Did my recent upgrade on the used market specs are a Ryzen 9 7900x,nzxt b650e motherboard,EVGA xc3 3080 hydro copper,4+ TB m.2 western digital 2 Tb x2, 96 GB ddr5 g skill trident ram, and the icing on the cake was watercooling got a 2 Ek radiators a lian li reservoir/pump, 3070 waterblock (selling cuz I don’t have the card) and 3 bottles of coolant and a Asus Rog monoblock for 80 guy was awesome tbh best deal ever got proof of everything I know RUclips comments be skeptical payed 800 at the end of the entire upgrade! Architecture student that’s why I needed that much juice for my system
3:38 I already miss the below $50 1TB NVME drives. It’s a shame how prices have gone up since last year.
I build and sell PCs. deal hunt to get parts below cost because there's already no margins and add whatever labor costs.
Assembly, doing all the updates, benchmarks, stress testing, (memory tuning depending platform)
My prices are very fair in my location especially since where I'm people cant source certain parts and have to pay for shipping. So i charge about 8-10% of what tax would be as my labor costs.
These are new parts. Problem with alot of people is they think they can build cheaper or they try to build and end up calling me to fix their builds that dont work. Then you also get delusional morons who think they can just low-ball for a new build who i just ignore.
On eBay, to find the price people actually pay and not some of the overpriced stuff still listed, go into filters and tick 'sold items'. Then you have a rough guide on what to pay.
I always sold hardware based off what it was selling for off newegg, ebay, Amazon, etc. And that was off the used/refurbished prices.
Still got tons of lowballs.
Tried selling a 3060 that had like 3 days of actual runtime total for 240, no one was offering anything above 200. So I threw in an old but still functional psu I had lying around and they took the price then.
People are just as greedy as the companies selling new.
Be carefull and stern in your budget. Better to get the deal at a later date than overspend or undersell what you actually want/have.
Yeah, but those prices started to change way on back at Newegg. Nowadays with their 1000's of SCAM 3rd party sellers/newegg Chinese capitalism, 2060's are still way overpriced, so sellers on Craigslist price accordingly.
I remember the 9 series processor from 2008 stayed on Newegg for 5 or more years at $1500. That was because Newegg was stuck with that processor, I'm sure that's why they implemented the 3rd party sham so easily. As long as they have the 3rd party to back them up, they can create 3rd party sellers to sell their traded in GPUs for top dollar.
I always buy/sell at the local PD. Our PD has “e-commerce” parking spots with cameras and audio.
Hi Jay. Seeing you checking out used PCs is right up there with seeing D. Trump shopping at a garage sale.
OH SNAP!!! Look at you using the EVGA X20 !!!
I lost it at "lolol you on crackj" 😂😂
Just done a build with a 5600 and 6750 XT for around £600, don't think I did too bad. All new too.
Jay can you do a short video talking about cablesmods and how their cables work? I just recently upgraded my PSU to an ROG, I had an Asus Tuf and it had cablemod wires, I’m wondering if I could use those same wires on my new psu.
The 6750xt is a great deal mine I got for Xmas new with tax was 379 , if I was still in CA id pick it up the system
The $450 ryzen is basically what Ive just bought in the uk from a cash generator place, but I paid £300/$380 usd, plan is to upgrade it slowly over the rest of the year. Will be a massive upgrade for me, currently using a dell xeon 1270 with a 1060 in it.
The Admin of one of the FB groups I'm in will hound the sellers who post "news" parts, when they have been taken out of the box. Like a complete system. "Those are used parts. Correct your post or you will be band from this group." He will also bug people about prices on used parts, comparing them to prices found on EBay. Also, if you do have a complete build, all parts better be listed.
Always try to meet in a public place like a fast food restaurant. Other people are around and security cameras. It feels safer for both sides because as buyer you can think.. he/she might try to rob me but the same goes for the seller.
Ebuyer open box dells is my favourite place to shop in the UK. for Example, I got ASUS GeForce RTX 4080 8GB DUAL OC For £187,95 I also got MSI GeForce RTX 4060Ti SLIM 8GB for different build for £287,95. The are all open box nether used OTHER THAN for cabinet displays. You can also get Ex display monitors with 80% discounts. and if you spend £1000 in one shopping kart you get a case from the midrange level for free. The only problem is I don't verry often see Motherboards on there. maybe there is not a need to display outside the box.
16:57 "Gaining pcans 500 hz monitor" 100% the best offer
Moment you buy it there is better deal available,if you're lucky that's it.If it's great price something's amiss-motherboard,gpu,cpu,ram,ram slots,psu etc.If you're brave enough build it,it'll cost maybe more but building decent frankenstein has no price.
I have an absolute beast of a system. 7950X3D, MSI Gaming X Trio 4090, ASrock Taichi X670e motherboard, 64gb 6000/32, 10TB total SSD storage (2tb Crucial gen 5 and 2x Corsiar 4tb gen 4), a complete corsair iCue Link setup with the H150i elite LCD 360 AIO and 7 more QX120 fans (those iCue Link fans arent cheap) and a corsair RM1200x Shift PSU all tucked in a Corsair 5000T RGB case (the case alone was $350) and Id be lucky to get $2700 for the whole thing even though I got almost $5k into it. Could probably get $3k if I include my Samsung Ark 55" monitor with it. Sadly stuff just depreciates too fast in the tech world.
Not flexing, just naming an example of the used market.
I don't know about you Jay, but there are also Brands that I will not buy. So that reduces the number of adverts that I would consider.
Back in the day when I had the cash, I would play around with ads like this. If you can afford it it can be fun and you can even make a profit from it.
Really nice video with relevant content. Scary that you even need to concider robbery in this case. It has never be on my mind after hundreds of private trades in DK.
OH! The 12400F build with a RTX 4060 and 32GB of RAM! That reminds me of a Facebook Market Place ad I saw local to me! Intel, i3 12100F, a decent Asus motherboard, pared with 96GB of RAM, or something weird like that, and RTX 3080, and a slow 1TB SATA SSD, for something around $2,700.00 I think it was. It was like the guy bought all the best pieces and then bought the cheapest CPU to I guess try maxing out his profits? He had more money tied up in the cost of RAM than he did in the processor, motherboard, and SATA SSD combined. The RAM and the GPU were the most expensive bits, and the RTX 3080 had already just been superseded by the RTX 4080. I have no idea what crack that guy was smoking, but in the end no one bought the machine because of the mishmash of parts.
For me if they're legitimately unwilling to listen/consider offers and they're asking just their listing price. What I think is that they refently bought the item for a bad deal and are trying to make back the money the spent, or they only want money. If someone wants to sell something, they want a higher price but theyre never absolutely firm on their asking price from my experience. 😊
To be fair/ yes old parts/ but you do gotta make a profit. I built the pc and alot of my parts are cheaper then a store bought one i also take the risk of putting it together and charge my labor and shipping ontop of it. IF i sell it for how much i bought the parts for why even sell ready built pc's in the first place? I just think this is a little crazy NOW
DONT GET ME WRONG
scamming like some people do is RIDICULOUS
but not getting free pc parts or discounts like everyone does. Doesn't mean we CPU Sellers shouldn't make money selling a good and well working product.
I got lucky and bought two “broken” gaming PCs for $200 each. One was valued at $400, the second, a Corsair Obsidian Super tower with complete water cooling, purchase was valued at $1200 on the low end.
This is a video that no tech youtuber should ever be doing. More than half of his audience is people that couldn't tell you what cpu they have in the PC they are selling. People lowballing nowadays is out of control. Jay enters the chat, I'd try to lowball him. I haven't had many issues with Jays videos or his stance on most things but this is probably where I draw the line and I didn't make it through this video and didn't even watch whatever video he said he lowballed in already. Kind of a dick move bud.
I hate selling things online, I hate buying them worse. So I typically avoid such things, but this video is smart and gives some real good pointers. That said, I enjoyed the trolling. Can we get more Jay Trolling videos? lol
I cannot tell you how crazy some of the deals are where I live, (Cape Town, South Africa) especially on the FB market. I've seen some of the worst combinations of parts with a price tag that people just pulled out their behinds.
I look at marketplace sometimes too and laugh at what people ask for some of the PCs.
