As a person that buys/sells PC and parts and looks at the local market daily, I really liked this video. I feel sorry for people that actually consider buying some of these builds. That PS fan up against the glass panel is embarrassing.
If the buyers willing to pay than that’s on them. In the past 4 months I’ve made a little over 9 grand selling pcs and parts. Most of it with a good 50% markup and they all sold fast. It’s not worth it for us who know how to build pcs but for someone who doesn’t it’s not a big deal. The pc building community blows this stuff way out of proportion though. That’s how the world works.
im glad he put a water block on that 11th gen cpu because i think 11th gen is one of the worst cpu generations to put in a itx build. i have a 10700 and my gf has a 11700 and the same cooler but hers runs 20c hotter at idle. mounting pressure is fine and thermal compound is fine to. 11th gen was a joke of a launch
@Lurch7861 I grew up in the middle of nowhere in the midwest, while I miss the quiet country but I like the convenience of the city's local used market, FB marketplace, Craigslist and offerup. I scan them daily. If you have cash, time and a bit of communication skills, you can get crazy deals. I have paid under $50 for entire gaming systems numerous times. Last one, this younger kid was getting rid of his "old" setup from 2019..lol. Entire gaming setup, mouse/KB/Monitor....all for $50. There are also local tech companies that liquidate often also, great HP and Dell office machines for harvest or to throw GPUS im for resale. In contrast, Where I grew up, good luck finding a gaming PC owner, let alone someone who doesn't have a prebuilt Walmart special Acer that comes read to die within a year.
Unfortunately, some dumb sucker will buy these. Considering, most of us are living in the common age of the internet, if you're that lazy to look up and can do proper research on the stuff you want to buy online, I don't feel sorry for anyone who falls for these ads. If you can search for the products you want to buy online, then you can do proper research on it before you buy it, too. Lol.
@@WhyteLis21 Its the reason I had to quit reddit and completely had to unsub from "PCMR" sub. Gen X'er here, I grew learning by trial and error and tough love, no internet. These new reddit kids want to be spoon fed everything. They have the WHOLE internet at their hands, can google any solution in seconds BUT choose to be lazy when building and trouble shooting. Phones and social media are part of it I think...instant gratification mixed with limited attention spans dont and make for a PC builder that wants to learn. I got tired getting called " a dick" and downvoted for preaching my tough love on there. Let them build their own PCs and fail or buy 5k PC's from the guy above (Mr. 9k)....they deserve it. Fools and their money?
I've got an R9 5900x, x570, 64GB RAM, RTX 3090 system for game dev in a huge, expensive case, with 8 storage devices total, and it still doesn't hit $4k in the costs. These people are nuts
The "it's what I paid for it" excuse is trending here in New Zealand as well, and not just in the PC market. That $5200 USD second hand rig you showed, I can build that Spec here in New Zealand from brand new parts for $5200 NZD lol. Greed is off the charts.
Yeah, if it's what they paid for it, then they shouldn't be selling it at that same price for it 2nd hand then. You'd be better buying it brand new if that was the case. Some people!!.
I assume people are expecting others to pay for their upgrade just as one of this listing in this video stated. Buy this to 100% my next build or component. Plenty of Ryzen CPU with this vibe.
13:00 that rig wouldn't have even cost $7000 when he built it brand new at the peak of prices. I took a huge hit and bought a RTX3080Ti for US$2200 at launch and I got a Ryzen9 5950X during the shortage and an Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Hero, with Dominator memory and a went full custom like him as well, and didnt spend that much....where do they even get their $7k pricing from....
Yep...that one got to me a bit too. Caved and got a 3080ti, slapped that in a x570 board with a 5800x. Including the rest of the parts and peripherals, I paid about 3200-3400 USD to build this thing. Screw that ad
I pulled the trigger on a reference 6900xt. Main factor, which was a dumb factor I'll admit, was my case could only fit a 6900xt reference and maybe one other. I paid $1700 for the card. I have slight remorse after having built my first computer (and it being pretty easy compared to what I thought) a month ago and that I really should have just taken some of that 1700 and upgraded from my HP Omen 25L (new case and new motherboard) but then I look back over the last year and a half and I can't imagine still running a reference 5700xt. I will never get caught up in the new thing pc craze. I bought a 5900x 2 weeks ago so I can get off my 3700x but I waited until it dropped to 349. Had i thought more I would have waited till the 5800x3d dropped but I got excited when I saw the 5900x drop from 399 to 349. Live and learn.
As someone who's spent years having to fix my father's "bargain!" systems he'd buy, I think you could probably run across these sorts of listings in any given year. The 'mining' listing though--that was a real gem. :P
I custom built my high end PC with a custom water loop back in February when GPUs where still pretty high. And that build was cheaper back then than a lot of these builds 😆
Right? I already had a build, but over the last year I spent about $2000 totally replacing the entire thing with newer parts. Literally all of it. Better specs than most of these and I paid inflated prices.
A big issue in any second hand market is people not realizing that in 99% of cases, you're never gonna get your money back from a product you bought. Wether it's a car, a computer or a TV, value usually only goes one way: down.
I don't see how this is difficult understand. Once something is used it immediately lose the original value of it even if you only used it for 5 minutes. You can't just sold things the same price that you bought it a few years ago, heck even a few month ago.
Wow, some of these people are absolutely out of their minds with these prices. I spent like $5500 on my current setup and I'd be lucky to get $1800-$2000 for it at this point. Now there was a time when just my 3090 was going for $3000-$4000 but that has thankfully passed.
I had a 1080 from my old rig and a brand new FE 3080TI I SOLD THE 3080TI for a 1500$ CDN profit and the 1080 for 20$ more then i paid for it BRAND NEW and used my 770 clasified 4gb till now and just rebrougt a used 3080ti for 600$ lol i took the money and ran now i got a 3080ti and made atleast 2k off them both
Helped my buddy build a setup this week, 5600x, 3060ti, all white parts, desk, monitor, keyboard, and mouse for under $2000. These listings are laughable
Heard about the threat someone left. So sorry people are like that. It's sad that they would be so angry to the point of horrific acts of violence over someone sharing the truth about price gouging
I hate looking at PC's being sold by people online. I always see 1 of 2 things either a PC that is 14 years worth about 300$ but listed at 2,000$ OR a PC that is worth 2,000$ but being sold for 40$ a clear scam.
You're totally right about them being disconnected from reality for the most part. I also agree that some of the listings are just people hoping they can hook a buyer with deep pockets and limited patience or PC knowledge.
But wouldn't a person with deep pockets just buy off the mall and not bother with used stuff? Especially if they have limited pc knowledge? Goes to show these sellers don't know the market.
Jesus man!!! I just sold an i9 12900k/ DDR5 32GB/ RTX 3080/ 1 TB Samsung Pro 980 M.2/ Z690 PC for $2500. I guess my PC was worth $9,990 if I go by his pricing.
I wanted to argue the fact that prices are in flux and right now is a terrible time to make a video like this... then I saw the prices... give them hell Greg!
When it comes to accessories, unless they're including them for something absurd like 30 cents on the dollar, most people do not give a damn about your accessories. Most people have specific preferences for what kind of headset, keyboard, mouse, and monitor they want anyway. Trying to act like selling all that crap in a "bundle" for a marginal discount is somehow an amazing "deal" is just pathetic and lazy. The reality is THEY would love to be able to sell everything at once for most of what they paid for it, but that is delusional. I always sell everything I own on individual listings. I don't have any respect for people who try to sell all their crap to me in a "bundle" for 70-80 cents on the dollar.
Even Amazon Prime deals yesterday were "wtf". Soooo many pre-builts with older processors and 1650s in them that were like "was $1200! $800 today only!"
When you see people spamming “no trades” on a listing, we’ll that’s because they tried a single line, “no trades” and they still got 1000 people asking for trades
@@rushawn3x Some average Joe will post in the statewide computer sales group I'm in on Facebook with a ridiculous price tag and just get bombed. Funny and sad that people think their machines are worth that much.
My favorite part about FB Marketplace is everytime you post electronics for sale the shit bag scammers come out..they say how they can't meet up but their brother, sister, or aunt can and they can never use cash. 🤣🤡
As soon as a car leaves the showroom it looses its value. The same can be said about Pc parts to as soon as it leaves the box it looses its value whether you use it our not.
I saw one labeled "high end", which always means it's not. 2 lines of info one of which said, "it has a rising computer chip in it". That was the descriptor for his Ryzen cpu.
This thing is also exceedingly common with cameras to the point I have starting calling it Camera Buyer's Syndrome. I think people buy a camera use it a couple times and forget about it. Months or years later, they find it and try to sell it for nearly exactly what they paid for it. I've seen decade old cameras that people are attempting to sell at their MSRP because they feel guilty they spent so much money on something they never used. I think a similar thing is happening here. People way overpaid for computers during the pandemic, realized they didn't enjoy gaming or didn't enjoy it relative to how much they spent and now are trying to recover all that money because of buyers remorse.
In my country it's seen as normal to price used things insanely high. Not even just PC parts and tech but other things as well. For example you see 15-20 year old bikes going for 4K euros, you can save up another 1.5 and buy a brand new bike with all the new tech, ABS, launch control, traction control, LED lights, 0 KM driven, new tires, new suspension, stock engine. But they paid 4K when they bought it (also used) and they'll be damned if they sell it for under that price. You just save up the difference, sell your bike for what you bought it and get yourself something nicer when dealing with used
Here in Iowa this is really bad. It's not only overpriced hardware on marketplaces but the shops price gouge to. Allot of it has to do with no retail competition in the rural areas and they can pretty much ask what they want for parts and labor. Plus they take advantage of not tech savvy people. Thankfully there's online shopping for us educated PC enthusiast here.
These people are everywhere, here in Brazil they're doing the same thing, selling old, used cards and asking for mid pandemic new prices because that's "what they paid for it" and if they sell at the actual market value they "won't be able to buy anything comparable to it", as if that's anyone's problem but theirs lmao
I have a similar build to the second to last ITX one (3080 TI/11900k/64 GB RAM) and I wouldn't dream of selling it for that much. It would probably be under $2k, I'd have to tally the entire system value on the used market and take a bit off of those prices as a package. I like giving deals and helping people out getting into PC gaming :)
What’s hilarious about people who list their overpriced PCs online or on OfferUp is the huge paragraphs they write just rephrasing the same things over and over, max settings any game, 4K ready, beast pc etc..
Years ago I used to buy and sell via auctions and adverts. But the basic rule was simple, if you are buying 2nd hand, then 50% of the new retail price was the starting point. 2nd hand could have all sorts of issues, even if the user has been really careful with it.
I bet some of these people don't want to sell their rig but was told to by a spouse or family member and thats why they list it for the ridiculous price... If they really want to make a sale they would lower the price even if they paid that much.
In my area the facebarf sellers are living in "LA LA" land also! one guy wanted $200 for a 1998 computer and I don't think it was a collector's item! 🤣🤣🤣
that's nothing, just today I clicked on one of those start page ads and found an online seller that routinely sells Windows 98 machines for upwards of a grand! I guess that hardware has become rare at this point but I'm honestly confused as to why anyone would want to do this?
Can't help but notice a lot of these people are trying to sell their parts near to what they originally bought it for. That's not how the used market works. The biggest hit of depreciation on anything occurs the second you open the box and is a function of its age and condition. Also, trying to sell your entire rig in one shot is dumb as well considering most people are looking for specific components and not an entire setup. Most of these listings come across desperate and lazy.
also comes off as someone who bit off more than they can chew and now wants to punish someone else in a scam. just a bunch of money hungry cowards that deserve all the misery coming their way.
And one thing these sellers seem to forget is that they are selling"used" products and asking more than the brand new value. Geez, they think their PCs are Gold or Land.
I got lucky when I decided to build my PC because all the components including GPUs were all msrp and literally a month later I started seeing graphics cards marked up like crazy.
i never sell a complete computer too many scammers will say it dont work or do anything to get it free so my last build i sold everything piece by piece and threw old corsair case out . less headaches
yeah, there are a lot of these ads on Facebook Marketplace. a lot of delusional people selling and buying. I just don't bother and ignore them. I don't wanna even deal with delusional people like that.
the worst to me is when a person buys something that came out 5 OR 6 years ago and says they have only had it for a few days and upgraded and now they are selling the part for like 20 or 30 dollars off and then say its still basically brand new, YEA OK!!!!
I thought my pc was overpriced but these people want more for rigs with a 3070 at best than I paid for my all brand new ITX build with a 3090ti before the price drops! 😂
When you said "he just wants it gone I guess" I misheard and thought you said "he just wants a gun I guess" and just figured that american markets are wilder than I thought until I checked the cc's
Depending on the time and supply, for a bit over 3k you can get a literal current top of the line 3080TI PC built to your desired spec and covered with a multi year warranty by any number of companies and if you were to part it out and build it yourself, you could go even cheaper. These people are absolutely delusional.
These are my favorite videos. Really enjoy them and wish you did them more often. I check daily non offerup and marketplace and just laugh at their listings.
I wish people would realise that, especially in this space, it's not about what it cost back in the day. It's about what would it cost to buy something that performs about the same right now.
ive noticed sellers on offerup, craigslist etc are still trying to sell parts way over priced even sometimes double what even ebay is asking and even more than just new. I don’t know what they’re smoking

As soon as a car leaves the showroom it looses its value. The same can be said about Pc parts to as soon as it leaves the box it looses its value whether you use it our not.
These people need to be locked up.
I saw one labeled "high end", which always means it's not. 2 lines of info one of which said, "it has a rising computer chip in it". That was the descriptor for his Ryzen cpu.
These sellers don't realize it's kinda like buying a new car where the value of the car is depreciated as it leaves the lot
The funniest part of this is that today NVIDIA had a massive price cut on their 30 series cards lol.
That HP build was for sure way less then then what he’s asking lmao considering pre built gaming pcs from HP and shit never went up that much money
For sure. I bought an omen 25l back in the summer of 2020 for $1100 granted different pcs all together but wtf is that dude thinking.
This thing is also exceedingly common with cameras to the point I have starting calling it Camera Buyer's Syndrome. I think people buy a camera use it a couple times and forget about it. Months or years later, they find it and try to sell it for nearly exactly what they paid for it. I've seen decade old cameras that people are attempting to sell at their MSRP because they feel guilty they spent so much money on something they never used. I think a similar thing is happening here. People way overpaid for computers during the pandemic, realized they didn't enjoy gaming or didn't enjoy it relative to how much they spent and now are trying to recover all that money because of buyers remorse.
In my country it's seen as normal to price used things insanely high. Not even just PC parts and tech but other things as well. For example you see 15-20 year old bikes going for 4K euros, you can save up another 1.5 and buy a brand new bike with all the new tech, ABS, launch control, traction control, LED lights, 0 KM driven, new tires, new suspension, stock engine. But they paid 4K when they bought it (also used) and they'll be damned if they sell it for under that price. You just save up the difference, sell your bike for what you bought it and get yourself something nicer when dealing with used
We need this to be a normal thing, it is funny seeing what people are charging for these PC's.
Information is more expensive than gold, which they hide
Ikr some graphic card listing are old and need to be updated too. Ridiculous.
Here in Iowa this is really bad. It's not only overpriced hardware on marketplaces but the shops price gouge to. Allot of it has to do with no retail competition in the rural areas and they can pretty much ask what they want for parts and labor. Plus they take advantage of not tech savvy people. Thankfully there's online shopping for us educated PC enthusiast here.
People pay 5k for a system and then 5 years later expect to get what they paid for it
These people are everywhere, here in Brazil they're doing the same thing, selling old, used cards and asking for mid pandemic new prices because that's "what they paid for it" and if they sell at the actual market value they "won't be able to buy anything comparable to it", as if that's anyone's problem but theirs lmao
the audacity of those ignorant sellers.... I really hope lots of people had been mocking them so they can realize how dumb those offers are.
I have a similar build to the second to last ITX one (3080 TI/11900k/64 GB RAM) and I wouldn't dream of selling it for that much. It would probably be under $2k, I'd have to tally the entire system value on the used market and take a bit off of those prices as a package. I like giving deals and helping people out getting into PC gaming :)
What’s hilarious about people who list their overpriced PCs online or on OfferUp is the huge paragraphs they write just rephrasing the same things over and over, max settings any game, 4K ready, beast pc etc..
Thanks for the really virtual learner playlist
The old saying "A fool and their money are soon parted", always know your prices before buying things.
Yes! This kind of vid! Miss this, and your comments - cheers mate 👍
Years ago I used to buy and sell via auctions and adverts. But the basic rule was simple, if you are buying 2nd hand, then 50% of the new retail price was the starting point. 2nd hand could have all sorts of issues, even if the user has been really careful with it.
Can we talk about local pc stores still trying to gouge the hell out of pc prices. Especially in the LA County area.
that Omen pc is selling for $1399 on places like ebay. People are nuts.
I bet some of these people don't want to sell their rig but was told to by a spouse or family member and thats why they list it for the ridiculous price... If they really want to make a sale they would lower the price even if they paid that much.
In my area the facebarf sellers are living in "LA LA" land also! one guy wanted $200 for a 1998 computer and I don't think it was a collector's item! 🤣🤣🤣
that's nothing, just today I clicked on one of those start page ads and found an online seller that routinely sells Windows 98 machines for upwards of a grand! I guess that hardware has become rare at this point but I'm honestly confused as to why anyone would want to do this?
still waiting on only flop 6 to see who won the last one
One dropped his setup with ridiculous prices. The rest used it as reference for pricing.
"Don't activate Windows!" LOL!!!! I wish I could hit the thumbs up a million times!
Most people (including myself) would be thrilled to be recognized in one of your videos unless it was this series. Thanks for the chuckles.
Oh yeah the one inverted white triangle you're supposed to contain inside the triangle next to the O'Reilly sign
Can't help but notice a lot of these people are trying to sell their parts near to what they originally bought it for. That's not how the used market works. The biggest hit of depreciation on anything occurs the second you open the box and is a function of its age and condition. Also, trying to sell your entire rig in one shot is dumb as well considering most people are looking for specific components and not an entire setup. Most of these listings come across desperate and lazy.
also comes off as someone who bit off more than they can chew and now wants to punish someone else in a scam. just a bunch of money hungry cowards that deserve all the misery coming their way.
And one thing these sellers seem to forget is that they are selling"used" products and asking more than the brand new value.
Geez, they think their PCs are Gold or Land.
You should send all these sellers a new updated *PartPicker list* link as of now, to show how much they are overcharging.
I got lucky when I decided to build my PC because all the components including GPUs were all msrp and literally a month later I started seeing graphics cards marked up like crazy.
i never sell a complete computer too many scammers will say it dont work or do anything to get it free so my last build i sold everything piece by piece and threw old corsair case out .
less headaches
The 3rd one was listed 16 weeks so that was March.
Same goes for the $7000 dollar one that was even listed 18 weeks ago. So that’s a bit unfair
yeah, there are a lot of these ads on Facebook Marketplace. a lot of delusional people selling and buying. I just don't bother and ignore them. I don't wanna even deal with delusional people like that.
Man I wonder who is subliminally controlling my TV from the beginning that bald guy and Michael Jackson curse was a real curse since the age of three
the worst to me is when a person buys something that came out 5 OR 6 years ago and says they have only had it for a few days and upgraded and now they are selling the part for like 20 or 30 dollars off and then say its still basically brand new, YEA OK!!!!
the best part about these prices is that the higher they are the longer it will take to sell, thus making the parts lose further value
Most of these builds aren't more than $2500. Greg, you got me looking at ads too and shaking my head at the stupid prices people ask.
I see over clocking like revving a car not buying a pc that's been thrashed from over clocking
I thought my pc was overpriced but these people want more for rigs with a 3070 at best than I paid for my all brand new ITX build with a 3090ti before the price drops! 😂
When you said "he just wants it gone I guess"
I misheard and thought you said "he just wants a gun I guess" and just figured that american markets are wilder than I thought until I checked the cc's
Depending on the time and supply, for a bit over 3k you can get a literal current top of the line 3080TI PC built to your desired spec and covered with a multi year warranty by any number of companies and if you were to part it out and build it yourself, you could go even cheaper. These people are absolutely delusional.
I missed this type of content been here since the beginning
-$700 so you"ll save taxes sounds like bs
These are my favorite videos. Really enjoy them and wish you did them more often. I check daily non offerup and marketplace and just laugh at their listings.
I wish people would realise that, especially in this space, it's not about what it cost back in the day. It's about what would it cost to buy something that performs about the same right now.
ive noticed sellers on offerup, craigslist etc are still trying to sell parts way over priced even sometimes double what even ebay is asking and even more than just new. I don’t know what they’re smoking
I built my first PC four months ago with better specs then all of them PCs. And it only cost me $2300, and it was all new parts.
