Thanks, Yes Man. I built a Ryzen 5 system and was wanting to sell it for a Ryzen laptop due to limited space in new bedroom. All these tips you share can really make someone "catch on" to your listing and also avoid any potential returns due to malfunctions.
Amazing and quick tutorial for those who don't know how to sell locally. Great video for this info. Everything you point out I always notice. Especially the psychological factor of times with instant communication(such as right now) and how it affects everyday life of not only the consumer but also the seller.
Hey bryan. I sell pc's in the £30-100 price point (core 2 duo, oem kinda builds) In the uk. Some weeks, I don't sell a single thing and I get pretty disheartened. And when I do, you seem to upload a new video and you instantly get me in a good mood and motivated again :D And it's paid off. I can now invest in better hardware and I'm venturing into low to mid range gaming ready builds which is earning me some okay kinda money. And building custom machines is way more fun! Just wanted to say thanks for the videos man, you've kept me company when im stuck with a dell inspiron 530 that won't accept any brand of ram. You were there when yet another hipro oem psu took out a perfectly working motherboard at 2 am. It's not an easy trade but you help me to realise that it's not just me that has a bad day or a machine thats hard to sell. Thanks bryan. You're a legend 🤘
Also something unmentioned in this video of which you generally do cover anyways is cleaning up dusty/dirty fan, grills and filters as they do tend to need some extra time focused on them. Filters, a trick I use when it's warmer and if they're in a bad way. Instead of sending dust everywhere if you are in an enclosed space or have no proper ventilation is to run the filter/grill under a shower head, get all that gunk off and then let it sit out and dry. If you're impatient or it's not warm enough to air dry then use a towel and the vac to give it a quick dry. It might be great to make a serious of episodes of the step by steps in cleaning/tackling dirty computers. You got a lot of videos showing this anyways, but if someone is looking for how to clean a particular piece and with what, they can just head off straight to your serious on cleaning PC parts and cases and pick that video/episode and be sorted? You could also try and use other things, stuff that may work just as well as the stuff you usually use, as some people may not have access to particular things. Dos and Donts of cleaning up, what to use to clean up a monitor, an acrylic or glass case, Etc. Not a go at your work, I actually wanted to launch a TH-cam channel in the UK based on what I came across with your channel, as we got nothing like this here, it's all either high end stuff, or they touch a bit on the 2nd hand market but then play some ancient games that haven't been popular in 10-15 years or simply fabricate the numbers that they got their hardware for. Not managed to get it off the ground, single father and all but you're an inspiration that is really needed in this community. Sharing the knowledge and learning together.
The market is fickle and most people ask way over the value and either don't understand depreciation or want to scam a quick buck. I build my own systems and rarely sell them or even parts as I mostly hoard them to my parts bins. I'd be interested in a video w/ some tips and tricks on buying (including legacy 2006+) and selling systems and parts for the meat (strip dowm) rather than thw gravy (whole system to clean/fix/upgrade).
Set your price right: I look at builds here for sale and think "that's £150 over what it's worth" so I don't bother even msging as no one is going to dump £150 off a £400 price tag. In UK is 2nd hand "gaming PCs" and even components (like the 570) are massively (in my area perhaps) overpriced for what they are. Its almost retail prices for OLD second hand where a 2400g system could be built for the same and get the same performance.
djmandrick exactly. I feel like the first thing he should’ve said in the video should be “price your pc right and understand depreciation”. An used pc no matter how much u paid for it should not cost too close to something new with warranty with similar performance
The used market here is great for buyers but not for selling, because here in Norway everyone just buys the most expensive stuff thats hard to make money off, not a very big market for these $500 under PCs
RAM modules were probably installed that way because that's how on most boards you do. I had to check the manual of a few different gigabyte boards and they really put the sockets out of order, 1324, on the board.
One thing that caught me by surprise is, that many people actually look for old Stuff like XP Systems... after investigating a bit, I found out that the reason for this is some specialized Hardware relying on RS-82 connectors as well as some Programs which used to by buy-to-own have become subscription based (for a hefty price). As for offering warranty: Forget it if you're in Germany... I don't offer it, people still keep coming to me saying the Hardrives, GPU etc. were faulty and guess what, not in a single instance did the Serials match. At the same time, lots of people here try to rip others off with "untested" stuff etc. I sold someone a bunch of defect HDD he wanted for Magnets... 2 days later he put them online as untested for 10x the price. Same storys with GPUs (I don't bother with baking etc.)... The most important advice I can give people trying to get into PC Flipping: When buying stuff, no deal is better than a bad one. Lots of adds with meh prices are literally screaming "PLEASE BUY THIS CRAP - I CAN'T LOWER THE PRICE ANYMORE OR I MAKE MINUS"... and guess what, those adds remain online forever. Personally, I only go for offers people make at prices I wouldn't dare ask for, but I'm also fair enough to not try lowering the price any more even if they write it's negotiable.
Giving guarantee on a PC is too risky for me, I offer 3 months of help and repair should something fail. Sounds similar, but I think there's a big difference in how people interpret that, people tend to get bitchy easier when it's a "guarantee" and message you for the smallest hiccup cause hey, it's under guarantee. I realized that of the 4 PCs I'm having for sale right now none of them are selling because people haven't received their holiday pay yet! In Austria you get paid double twice a year, in summer and before christmas, that's when business is usually much stronger.
I find for me it's one of those things, I won't move a pc for 2 weeks then I'll sell 3 in a day it just depends on who's wanting to buy. As a previous eBay seller no ones spending money on eBay ATM either
Looked for the Export Multi-purpose spray online and couldn't find any. Also thought of cable extensions as a way to make the look clean along side RGB.
Excellent recommendations. I would add that sellers should ensure that their photos are in FOCUS and high quality, as well as that their ads should be well written with proper grammar and spelling.
I'm in the sad boat of trying to sell my i7 2600K (4.3Ghz) rig right now with 16gb of ram, a bunch of extras, and an RTX2080. Hasn't been easy so far. I think the cpu is old enough to scare people off, but honestly it does as good of a job at high resolutions as most modern stuff. It's a closed case so RGB bling isn't going to do much.

Rick Spoelstra I was wondering the same. What if someone switches my ram with some faulty ram (same looks) or switches with a faulty gpu cpu hdd ssd (same brand/look) ....
Been struggling getting a few builds I did sold. One so far, where last year near identical builds sold within days. Difference I'm seeing is the timing. Last year I sold those during school's summer and winter breaks. Hopefully the upcoming summer break will get these builds off my hands. Would make for some great content :)
really enjoy these videos, learning more than a little, but I have to disagree with the price kind of going hand in hand with the build looking better or worse, some people like sleeper builds and some people are willing to spend 50 out of 400 total for me to add in some mindless RGB, I love doing both
photos are seriously important, i put a gaming PC on ebay, the photos weren't the best, it got almost 200 views, and about 7 or 8 watchers, and a few offers, the best offer being £200, the PC was up for £400, easily worth £400. i took the ad down, and posted the same system, at the same price, but just put up better photos, less than 24 hours later, it had 30 views, 1 watcher and sold for £370
Here in the UK it seems much more strict with what people are willing to pay for. Green motherboards are a no no, silver power supplies or non sleeved wires don't help either. I once had to swap out a Cooler Master masterbox lite 5 because the acrylic side panel had a 4cm crack and the PC just would not sell with it. I have no idea how anyone is taking OEM motherboards and putting them in gaming cases, I would get laughed at doing that here.
What is your go-to thermal paste? I just spent a fair bit (even though it was the cheapest "good") on 1.5g of Prolimatech PK-2, as I'm upgrading a laptop from Celeron T1600 to Core 2, and given the small contact area of the open core and the limitations of the cooling solution, decided I wanted a really good transfer (well this side of going LM). My previous 5g of decent stuff had gone rather solid, and while I got a bit out after dumping the stodge, it ran out for my last one, so I had to fit my decent LGA1155 heatsink using the packet of Silmore that it came with -- mmm, salad cream
Did you ever try AMD GPUs in those Horror Packard motherboards? Even a beastly R9 290 had legacy bios support, some of those pre-RX cards just might work. An HD 7850 2GB or R9 270 can still push some usable frames, while costing next to nothing and needing just one pcie 6pin.
gret job man great video as always . learning something new from every video keep them comming awesome man awesome content and awesome ck cleaning keep it up
I try upgrade a prebuilt like this with nvidia 750, it does not work, but then I try it with AMD and it works, now i have two prebuilt with I5 and rx 550... not great but good entry lvl gaming pc.
TLDR at the top followed by tec specs in order of importance. CPU GPU RAM combine data where possible, motherboard name/model, instead of listing all specs such as number of ports and speeds.
If your PC isn't selling right away, patience is a virtue. Also, on FB marketplace you can put it at a "market" price (which is always inflated where I live) and then bring the price down. People think they're getting a deal because they see the original and the new price.
10:21 oh. You're THAT guy. You're that guy my ex's always complained about. You're that guy who makes me seem like I don't give a shit about my phone because I don't reply for 3+ hours lmao
Can you please give a tutorial on replacing thermal paste on gpu. In particular... How to put heatsink back on!! I used an electric screwdriver on a couple of gpus (7870 for practice and ex mining 1080ti I just got and wanted to reduce temps as boost was not sticking at 1823 but falling to 1700 when temps hit 84 degreees) and must have overtightened as could only get three screws back on which raised temps! On 7870 I managed to get another screw on it and was 10 degrees cooler! Phew! But the 1080ti... Was racing to 80 90 degreess with three screws and then underclocked... i managed to force another screw im and then it blew up my 650w coraair psu! So i sold the 1080ti and getting an old pc today to see if its psu will get my old pc working again! I have failed to give my gpus techyesloving!!!
Please thread and tighten those screws by hand, they should have springs on the back and meet a stop at some point. You'll want to get all four screws started just a few turns, then tighten them a little more ( like half way ) one at a time before going around again for the final bit when they meet the stop. The crazy temperatures with only three screws is because the cooler was uneven on the die and not making complete contact. Overtightening and missing screws risks damaging the PCB or substrate under the chip where the two are soldered together. Make sure you're applying enough thermal paste as well.
@@zcomputerwiz thanks! I got a new psu but turns out the problem was the aio water cooling had leaked. That might be a coincidence or due to overheating 1080ti! Do you know if you can reseal an aio water cooler with duct or gorilla tape or should I just replace with an air cooler and be safe!
I have a 4790k, 16gb of ram, asus b85m-g r2.0, EVGA 980 ti sc and a 1tb HDD paired with a 860 evo 250gb for a boot drive. How much do You think I could get for it?
The motherboard is more than likely only designed for 25 Watt power draw from the PCI-e slot which would make many GPUs incompatible do look into this when buying OEM systems
If that was simply the case they sell x16 riser cables with Molex powered connection for five dollars. Don’t use on high bandwidth cards like Fury series (they work, but not max overclock, and you’ll end up with 7 layers of aluminum foil wrapped around it to get it to work and not randomly shutdown your crossfire configuration... It did keep it cooler spacing it outside the case, but it’s obvious why shielded metal cables are necessary. You’ve got a ton of wires packed next to each other acting like dipole antennas, and these cables are worse than IDE ribbon cables (which were rated to 3ft max runs), because these are 2 layers (front side/back side), and unlike IDE (best I’ve benched out of IDE was 1.5 MB/s, GPUs are in the GB/s, well in the 10’s of thousands of times more data throughout). But, for 300 GB/s memory cards and below like GTX 1070 and RX 590, it will probably work fine (Vega VII would probably never work)
Um hello, I know this might seem like a really dumb question but is there a specific type of cloth used for wiping the PC components? Just trying to wipe the GPU can be a b*tch when it comes to all those pins getting stuck on the cloth.
I bought an msi laptop 8 months ago. It looks like new, no scratches. It has windows 10, intel i7-8750h, gtx 1060 6gb, 16 gb RAM, one ssd with 126 gb and one hdd with 1tb. For how much should I sell it?
@@f.a.i9638 If people can match the price so nice pc costs same or nearly the same as ugly with same specs. I guess that yes. But I'm glad that there are no RGB maniacs XD
i gues going budget is still doable, but im wondering what would be helpful if i was to sell a system with hardware dated around 2013-2014? like a budget athlon 860k build? it seems like a type of system to just keep as a backup
At what point does a computer can't be sold or holds no interest in the market, before 2012? Can they still have some value selling anything 10+ years old?
In this area these i3 PCs would sit on craigslist for 2 months with not one offer. I would be so happy if used PCs sold for even close to what they’re worth where I live
Followed this religiously to get rid of some parts hanging about and give some people some good deals. All I have had is ultra lowball and miners wanting the GPU's. Should of just put all the parts up on ebay and been done. Give it till Sunday and then Ill just cut my losses and part it all out.
To be honest: If I wanted to buy a gaming PC for a budget, I would not give the slightest for look and put all into performance. However... if it is dirty and filthy... noone wants that. Just vacuum it.

I just spent a fair bit (even though it was the cheapest "good") on 1.5g of Prolimatech PK-2, as I'm upgrading a laptop from Celeron T1600 to Core 2, and given the small contact area of the open core and the limitations of the cooling solution, decided I wanted a really good transfer (well this side of going LM).
My previous 5g of decent stuff had gone rather solid, and while I got a bit out after dumping the stodge, it ran out for my last one, so I had to fit my decent LGA1155 heatsink using the packet of Silmore that it came with -- mmm, salad cream
Did you ever try AMD GPUs in those Horror Packard motherboards? Even a beastly R9 290 had legacy bios support, some of those pre-RX cards just might work. An HD 7850 2GB or R9 270 can still push some usable frames, while costing next to nothing and needing just one pcie 6pin.
gret job man great video as always . learning something new from every video keep them comming awesome man awesome content and awesome ck cleaning keep it up
What is that shinny spray you are using? It makes a difference
I'mma get my undies wth, didn't know that was the secret all along.
make sure they ant clean yeh thats where the secret is :) joke
I am also going to use my CK Underware. Definitely going to give better results.
13:27 definitely the best part of the video
You ran outta alcohol wipes eh, I bet you didn't run outta break cleaner. . .
😎Can use paint brush to clean those narrow areas followed by blower application.. 👍
I normally use a spare toothbrush 😂
I try upgrade a prebuilt like this with nvidia 750, it does not work, but then I try it with AMD and it works, now i have two prebuilt with I5 and rx 550... not great but good entry lvl gaming pc.
Where do you think a good balance of information in the ad is? Between not giving people enough information vs overwhelming them.
TLDR at the top followed by tec specs in order of importance. CPU GPU RAM
combine data where possible, motherboard name/model, instead of listing all specs such as number of ports and speeds.
How do you go about setting prices for stuff you sell? I have picked up some older systems over the years and have no clue where to set prices at.
hey where did you source those tempered glass cases? aweosme video as always!
If your PC isn't selling right away, patience is a virtue. Also, on FB marketplace you can put it at a "market" price (which is always inflated where I live) and then bring the price down. People think they're getting a deal because they see the original and the new price.
10:21 oh. You're THAT guy. You're that guy my ex's always complained about. You're that guy who makes me seem like I don't give a shit about my phone because I don't reply for 3+ hours lmao
Nice graph, made me laugh :D
Can you please give a tutorial on replacing thermal paste on gpu. In particular... How to put heatsink back on!!
I used an electric screwdriver on a couple of gpus (7870 for practice and ex mining 1080ti I just got and wanted to reduce temps as boost was not sticking at 1823 but falling to 1700 when temps hit 84 degreees) and must have overtightened as could only get three screws back on which raised temps!
On 7870 I managed to get another screw on it and was 10 degrees cooler! Phew!
But the 1080ti... Was racing to 80 90 degreess with three screws and then underclocked... i managed to force another screw im and then it blew up my 650w coraair psu!
So i sold the 1080ti and getting an old pc today to see if its psu will get my old pc working again!
I have failed to give my gpus techyesloving!!!
Please thread and tighten those screws by hand, they should have springs on the back and meet a stop at some point.
You'll want to get all four screws started just a few turns, then tighten them a little more ( like half way ) one at a time before going around again for the final bit when they meet the stop.
The crazy temperatures with only three screws is because the cooler was uneven on the die and not making complete contact. Overtightening and missing screws risks damaging the PCB or substrate under the chip where the two are soldered together.
Make sure you're applying enough thermal paste as well.
@@zcomputerwiz thanks! I got a new psu but turns out the problem was the aio water cooling had leaked. That might be a coincidence or due to overheating 1080ti!
Do you know if you can reseal an aio water cooler with duct or gorilla tape or should I just replace with an air cooler and be safe!
I have a 4790k, 16gb of ram, asus b85m-g r2.0, EVGA 980 ti sc and a 1tb HDD paired with a 860 evo 250gb for a boot drive. How much do You think I could get for it?
dakotah swartz $2
Under $500.
Ajx33 :O I can finally buy that pack of gum
Never thought I would see so much slo mo underwear action on your channel but here we are and I like it.
The motherboard is more than likely only designed for 25 Watt power draw from the PCI-e slot which would make many GPUs incompatible do look into this when buying OEM systems
If that was simply the case they sell x16 riser cables with Molex powered connection for five dollars. Don’t use on high bandwidth cards like Fury series (they work, but not max overclock, and you’ll end up with 7 layers of aluminum foil wrapped around it to get it to work and not randomly shutdown your crossfire configuration... It did keep it cooler spacing it outside the case, but it’s obvious why shielded metal cables are necessary. You’ve got a ton of wires packed next to each other acting like dipole antennas, and these cables are worse than IDE ribbon cables (which were rated to 3ft max runs), because these are 2 layers (front side/back side), and unlike IDE (best I’ve benched out of IDE was 1.5 MB/s, GPUs are in the GB/s, well in the 10’s of thousands of times more data throughout).
But, for 300 GB/s memory cards and below like GTX 1070 and RX 590, it will probably work fine (Vega VII would probably never work)
Calvin Klein Underwear. Thumbs up for a comedy reference to the movie series Back to the Future!
How much was the OEM machine?Those i7's still get a good price, so I am kinda curious.
Um hello, I know this might seem like a really dumb question but is there a specific type of cloth used for wiping the PC components? Just trying to wipe the GPU can be a b*tch when it comes to all those pins getting stuck on the cloth.
I bought an msi laptop 8 months ago. It looks like new, no scratches. It has windows 10, intel i7-8750h, gtx 1060 6gb, 16 gb RAM, one ssd with 126 gb and one hdd with 1tb. For how much should I sell it?
In our country most of people don't care about aesthetics including me. GTX 1070 etc in 30 $ case.
Aesthetics will sell your PC FASTER.. always.
Even if your area is poor as heck.
@@f.a.i9638 If people can match the price so nice pc costs same or nearly the same as ugly with same specs. I guess that yes. But I'm glad that there are no RGB maniacs XD
For the OEM hp desktop, is it possible to add one of those cheap hp rx460s?
What type of cleaner are you using.
i gues going budget is still doable, but im wondering what would be helpful if i was to sell a system with hardware dated around 2013-2014? like a budget athlon 860k build? it seems like a type of system to just keep as a backup
Great tips ! It's amazing how an LED strip can make a sale 😂
What program did you use to edit this video?
Can you put a link to the cleaner you use?
What's that's multi purpose spray you're using?
At what point does a computer can't be sold or holds no interest in the market, before 2012? Can they still have some value selling anything 10+ years old?
What about gumtree though, what’s the success rate with that
What is your intro music? I like it.
Never mind - I found it. It is: I Wish That I Was A Mad Man - Staffan Carlén
That HP was right side up, it must have come from North America. Then you gave it the tech yes loving and it converted to an Aussie PC.
In this area these i3 PCs would sit on craigslist for 2 months with not one offer. I would be so happy if used PCs sold for even close to what they’re worth where I live
Followed this religiously to get rid of some parts hanging about and give some people some good deals. All I have had is ultra lowball and miners wanting the GPU's. Should of just put all the parts up on ebay and been done. Give it till Sunday and then Ill just cut my losses and part it all out.
Very nice tips to make your own business.

The Acer prebuilts often have a decent motherboard and power supply
I have a problem with my PC can u please help me when I turn off my monitor my fans all spin up 100% and my PC isn't showing anything anymore
reinstall windows
@@TheSilviu8x I'll try
I think you should save the mobo cus its a h97 and it could be use with a unlocked i5 imo
To be honest: If I wanted to buy a gaming PC for a budget, I would not give the slightest for look and put all into performance. However... if it is dirty and filthy... noone wants that. Just vacuum it.
in my area, people just dont care about looks and just ask for the specs and clean it themselves
