You scared that person off 12:59 Instead of assuring them that it's a good reliable pc build they can count on, you practically tell them they're outright screwed if they get it and there's something wrong with it. I know that's not what you said, and they can return it within that window of time after receiving it if there's something wrong with it, but trust me that is what they were thinking. You should have been more helpful and friendly when addressing the buyer. After all, in that video at that time you are currently in the business of selling... be a good friendly helpful salesman and don't come off as some cold jerk who wants to evade responsibility.
Ima just throw it out there. Ima hella toxic when it comes to buying PC's or ANYTHING off these market place. My toxic trait is, I be hitting em up with 3 or 4 diff accounts if smt catches my eyes and if they are "firm" of they price (or if the price kinda ridiculous to begin with) I slowly break em down with those 4 accounts (you know what I mean) ik this sounds like some reverse physiology attack on the guy but I aint lien' to em, if you think abt it. I'm just budging them, testing their tension, the pressure on their locks of sort. I mean if the second guy, 3rd guy, 4th guy or whichever is able to get a better deal off the guy after each subsequent breaking than why shouldn't it be me? if it wasn't me he would hook up the 4th or 5th guy to message him after so many fails; naturally either ways. So I ain't really "cheating em" Im just testing em posing as diff people. Sorry not sorry, and even then I respect em by not ghosting them atleast I gatta give em that atleast at minimum I respect em to verbally let em know when the negotiating is done or when the deal seems "fair" enough to me. Until I hit em up with the 3rd 😂😁thing feels like that moment when you keep throwing pokeballs at that one pokemon that wont go down until the masterball 😂😂 I swear im not fked up like that. I just thought that up rn.
I hate selling on resell platforms. People want to buy for $5 in mint condition while selling their literal trash for a million(retail or higher). I'd rather destroy an item than take a lowball just out of principle
@@user-kf4gt7bo2k yeah it's crazy. At that point, it's not worth the energy to reply to it. I try to only buy things I need and will use a lot and wait for sales from retail stores for a deal. Resell apps aren't worth it for buying or selling much when you might as well wait for 20-50% off from retail stores with warranty and support and then toss it out when it's broken, worn out, or obsolete. As for the ridiculously high retail prices for used people need to adopt the "let it rot" idea and let them eat the loss when it doesn't sell like overpriced used cars 😂
If someone is asking a fair price, I'll typically pay it without haggling, but if it isn't a great deal, I will haggle and explain why to the seller, while doing so. I hate when either party ghosts the other during negotiations.

@@jakeleo4518 everyone has different methods, I find most sellers on marketplace don't even respond to potential customers 90% of the time, to the point it is irritating
@@jakeleo4518 True. I've used this trick a ton when I see something good that's overpriced. I've managed to get 4070 ti supers for $600 doing this. The "unprecedented demand" part is what gets them to lower their floor. Facebook has cracked down on this behavior in the past few years though. Can't automate it as easily if you don't already have accounts ready. Costs more money, more hassle. Used to be way easier. I've also found that no matter what price you list people will always undercut you by at least 10-20% and then get offended when that's not an option, so I just started automatically marking things up by almost 50% and slowly dropping the price until it sells. The audacity of people offering me half price on something already half off. I'm talking a monitor that's 60% lower of what you can find on ebay as I wanted to get rid of it, and then they ask for another 50% on top of that. I respect it, but you're not getting the sale. I've found that just ignoring them works best as if they message once or twice facebook won't give them the option to leave a review. People can leave you bad reviews just because they didn't like that you didn't take their lowball offer and tried really hard to get you to accept taking a lowball. I'm not joking. This has happened twice. Couldn't believe it both times it happened. Can't remove those reviews either even when you mass report them.
Flipping PC's in the Netherlands for me is very easy the last 3 years, i don't ask to much and give a garanty on what i sell and the last year i am getting repeat customers and refurals from previous buyers. Oh Yeah post time makes all the difference, i allways post my systems the weekend after everybody gets paid here in the Netherlands witch is the last week of the month. Payout is around the 24th.
Nice to see the process from beginning to end. I was initially not a fan of Jawa, but stuff does sell pretty fast on there if the price is right. I would be curious to see what an ebay auction would bring these days.
It can be a real PITA to sell PC's locally. I want to say it's unheard of to see someone offer $150 for a system with a 5600 and a 6600, when it would only buy you the GPU, let alone the rest of the system... but I've dealt with some lowballers with even more audacity. However, selling on Jawa has it's own pitfalls that keep me from using it.
@@zerocal76 Sure. Primarily... the same risks that you take selling anything on eBay. You, as the seller, take all the risk. People can try to screw you over, though I've been selling crap on eBay here and there since the late 90's and that's not a huge issue, but it does happen, and eBay tends to side with the buyer. The other thing I do not like is that shipping a PC is difficult. I've shipped more than a few and sometimes, just using expanding foam packs isn't enough and there can be problems. No to mention that those are added costs on top of what you're already paying out in fees to Jawa. Then there's the fact that I like to offer warranty services on the PC, even the used ones, that go beyond the typical short period. That's something I can't really offer people if I sell it on Jawa without them having to ship it back, which is more risk and more cost to me. I'd rather sell locally... but sometimes, I consider trying Jawa. My local market is pretty weak even when it is a sellers market, and it sure isn't a sellers market right now. Jawa certainly does open you up to a lager consumer base.
I sell on Mercari I build and flip PCs. I haven't had any luck on Jawa yet. Started listing there the past couple weeks, but PCs have sold thru Mercari. Only had 1 person message on Jawa. A few saves, but nothing else.
@@mtzkustom7818 I had thought about trying Mercari too. Seems they've lifted some of their fees making it more feasible. I might have to give them both a try since it seems things are really dry around here, which my area was already dry enough, for selling PCs.

I actually bought my first ever PC from Jawa and it was all because of your “I Bought a $1000 “Custom” Prebuilt Pc” video lol. My personal experience has been great so far! From the sites interface and the sellers, its a great way to start someone first PC journey
A good rule of thumb for any individual trying to sell anything to the general public - try to make the most you can while interacting with as few people as possible. The general public is absolutely crazy and the less you have to interact with other people over a sales transaction, the better for your sanity. I would not want to sell computers to people. They aren't worth anything and selling gaming computers is just higher dollar low margin sales with customers that have even higher expectations and nitpicks. Learn to fix and sell more expensive things that average people use so you have to interact with fewer people to make the same amount of money you would make selling a low dollar item to a lot of people.
I use local marketplaces to sell Gaming PCs so no shipping, only pickup. All games tested are listed and have the appropriate TH-cam Video of the Benchmarks viewable via a link. Pricing is set by the competition and every PC so far went same day or next without any low ballers or trades. The real buyers knew what it was worth and didn't want to piss me off by trying to bargain with me. ( words from a buyer )
I seriously kept waiting for him to state that he's being sponsored or something similar. I just dislike when it's not told in the video they are doing this for money. I don't really read descriptions unless I need to. It's defiantly shady and borders on dishonest.

One tip i'd like to share for anyone building, selling and shipping pcs. If you buy your case from amazon request to hide the packaging "ship in amazon package" your set up for a good double box shipment at no extra cost. I always double box. I used to buy boxes from ups if i couldnt find a suitable outer box. Now i just use the case manufacturer box inside and the outer amazon box. Its saved me a lot of trouble hunting boxes.
Honestly I've never been that impressed with Jawas used parts section. It's just never really been nothing that was so much better than any other place else it's just not. I bought two things off of there and both times it was not good. I bought a 8086k and a ASRock fatality motherboard combo and the motherboard gave out in like 3 months and the second time I bought a 1060 and it didn't even last a year so I have much better luck on eBay. As in yesterday I've got an Asus ROG Strix 4060 TI for $223 out the door. There was a liquidator that had 11 of them and I hit it at just the right time they went quick and he even accepts returns and everything. Scored😎
I ended up selling my previous build for about 200$ cheaper than the parts go for individually, just to stop with the headaches of "Is this still available" plus having a full-size tower floating around taking up space wasn't the best.
If you need places to print in a hurry, Walmart, Fedex Kinkos, and the UPS stores tend to do it fairly cheap (the UPS stores do charge a bit more for computer usage). As for selling locally, grab a super cheap portable monitor and wireless keyboard with a trackpad off of Amazon, and take it inside of a police station. They've always allowed for me to use the sockets to turn it on. It might be apt to show up early and ask first, but they most likely won't take issues with. It's not really all that different from making a regular sale in a police station parking lot. It's far safer, and if the buyer refuses to even meet up there, that should tell you all you need to know.
I’ve sold roughly 8 PCs on Facebook marketplace so far since I’ve started flipping around two months ago. I’ve made a ton more money than I would have on Jawa. Not scamming anyone, just the fees are ridiculous on Jawa. Of course your build sold fast, it’s a great price. But $50 for the time it takes to find these parts deals as well as listing, building, meeting. Not worth it at all. I always add a $100 build/time fee and of course leave some room for haggling. The market on jawa is just too competitive. I’m able to supply people with decent deals on PCs as well as support and the offer to change any parts that go bad within 6 months. It’s just way harder on Jawa when everything is shipped
You're right about the build time fee. $50 is woefully inadequate, especially when you're doing all the work and you have to test it. Giving support and offer to change parts within 6 months has got to make people feel more confident. You seem like a good chap.
I'm a jawa seller turned Jawa staff, My recommendation is just to list on both with the fees adjusted like NOAB did, I list on marketplace for less than i list for on jawa and often my Jawa listings would sell first even with the higher price because the demand is higher and buyers have way more purchase intent. I would recommend giving it a try before you write it off just for the fees.
@@ValhayaPC I’ve listed three pcs on jawa. I did list for slightly more because of fees. I suppose either they sold too quickly on fb or people were just interested in other pcs. I always try to give a fair deal, hence why I’ve sold so many. I rely on finding the best deals to make my profit. I just feel fb has way better success. I’d love to have a great profile and relationship with Jawa users, my fb profile has a ton of excellent 5 star reviews and I think maybe that lack of reviews is also making it harder on Jawa when they can pay the same price and get one from a verified reputable seller. Which would incentivize me to offer lower prices and make less, just to seem established on the site
@@SpaceCadet4Jesus thanks man, I really do love building and I don’t do it for profit. It helps. I have built many for children since Christmas is coming up and it makes my heart warm knowing they’ll be enjoying my pcs.
Good video . I experienced the same non sense on market place and ended up removing the listing and giving the new build to my son . Jawa is an option I would be willing to try . Thanks
@@jakeleo4518 Its just like ebay, the seller can offer "free shipping" which would mean the seller pays the shipping. Otherwise the buyer pays for it so as a buyer you have to take that into consideration when buying something. A $100 item with free shipping would be cheaper than a $95 item with $10 shipping.
I live in Singapore and I get similar rates from lowballers. Its almost as if they had a script to offer 1/5 of the listing price. If its rejected, offer a trade or maybe up it to 1/4 of the listing price. It seems to me these people probaby don't know, or don't care what the actual value of the product is. They just follow the script, bid at 1/5 the listed price. And wait for people to bite. And when a deal is actually done, I'm sure they will relist it with the actual value and even copy the pictures from the original lister, and try to sell it for profit.
Basically, if I can't get a good deal on a used pc, then I wouldn't even buy from someone selling their old pc. It would make more sense to buy a newer one as 95% of the time you'll get a way better deal just buying a pre-built with a full warranty and no worries of if something may be wrong with the pc
Your vids are interesting to watch. You shipped that PC is an expensive PC case box, I know it was free but the problem is you really want unmarked boxes that don't reveal contents for porch pirates, only thing that makes me nervous being in a larger city
In this particular case it was delivery with adult signature only. He noted that in the video. You're right about unmarked boxes though, and don't send anything with Amazon tape on it.
With those "What's the lowest you'll go?" I sometimes respond with double the list price, or maybe $20 more than the list price. I am immediately disinterested in selling to anyone that requests I bid against myself. My initial offer is the list price. Counter with a reasonable offer if you think the asking price is too high.
Bro, it's so awesome to see how far you have come since your humble beginnings. Keep up the good work. I hope one day to be invited to one of your lan parties, even though we are just imaginary friends 😂
This is what i really dislike about selling in general. On one side you have local/meet ups without the hassle of shipping, but you tend to either get a constant influx of lowballing, terrible trades, and worst case scenario when the seller/buyer are refusing to meet in public for safe transactions. Then you have ebay where even if your covered by the buyer/seller protection, the Fees that arrives with shipping, packaging, and listing/final fees really add up. just frustrating sometimes lol
With the shipping label barcode you receive from most selling platforms you can have the carrier print it out at the post office for USPS or at the store for the others.
Yes I was trying to sale my first build on offerup and got no offers. I never tried jawa because I do not know how to ship a pc safely. I have just upgraded my gpu and just use it every now and again. Thanks for the video. Love all your content.
For me it's always been a hassle to sell a full built PC or even just a combo like MB/RAM, MB/CPU or MB, Ram and CPU. I usually end up selling parts indavidually even then trying to sell Offerup, FB market, Craigslist I get to many lowball offers that I just move to ebay and sell my parts. The only thing I never got hassled over were cases lol I've thrown cases up on craigslist from $25-$60 and was able to get the sales.
I always add "If you are reading this it's still available" at the top of the ad and when they inevitably ask, I ask them to please read the first line of the ad. Offerup is terrible for low ballers. As bad as most other places are Offerup seems to be the worst. I had a kid beg me to sell him a trash pc I was selling for $200. All he had was $50 and begged me after telling me how bad his life was. I had to block him. Thanks for another great video.
After this video, I am seriously considering Jawa or eBay. I have always tried to sell locally because I hate dealing with the risk of shipping and someone reversing charges but I haven't sold on eBay in 15+ years so I'm assuming sellers are better protected now? I consistently get low-ball offers on everything I try to sell locally on Facebook marketplace or Craigslist. I have taken low offers just to get rid of things but sometimes they are systems with almost all new parts that are worth double what I end up getting. The area I live has a high percentage of out of work people and it's hard to get people to buy computers when they can't afford to eat.
I spend hours of research on a PC to see exact use case, value for money, best price for given piece of build etc. So I have a Kaby Lake i5 cpu. A Z270 Gigabyte MB that was a Boxing day $99 Can. Case is CM Storm Enforcer for the 2 USB 2.0 and 2 USB 3.0 and 200mm front intake fan, $50 on sale. PSU EVGA 650 GQ 80+ Gold. Now it's in the living room as an entertainment center. I have 4 different custom systems but with all the time and effort I put into them, I don't want to give any of them up.
@@joby602 Well I actually built a lot of PCs to order for friends. And actually did give away one old PC when a friends system died. So currently at 4 systems. Going to wait for at least another generation possibly two to make another PC. Meanwhile making theoretical build on PC partpicker.
I personally don’t like these middle man companies that charge a premium fee. The reason we want to trade amongst ourselves is because we are tired of being the ones paying for corporate greed.
😅 same here but depends on the condition. Buying used stuff that ppl wear is risky. Maybe they pick their nose and then scratch their head, which makes bogger dandruff fall onto the headset 😭😄
When you sell a PC like this. I’m guessing you load fresh copy of windows. My question is do you leave it up to the buyer to load drivers & Windows updates or do you pre load them?
You get some real interesting conversations on marketplace. I was selling a 6600 back when they were around $250 and a guy offered me $150. I said no but I had a 1070 he could buy for that. He went on lecturing me about how he doesn't buy old parts and all his stuff is top of the line. He then went on to offer $100 plus a 360 water cooler, I said sorry my case doesn't even fit that cooler otherwise I would think about it and he was pissed started cussing me out.
I've never used Jawa before, but I recently sold an iPad Pro and got ghosted three times. I was also called a scammer simply because I didn’t offer pickup as an option.
I got mostly the same lowballing for a similar PC a similar price. I got some more decent offers too at -$100, but I held -$50 firm. I even got an offer to trade for a Mac. It took a about a week on other platforms (Don't live in the US) until I finally got it sold, haven't heard from the buyer in a little over a week now, so I suspect the buyer is a happy camper. (specs on my sale: Ryzen 5600 MSI B550 PRO-VDH 32GB corsair RGB RAM Arc A750 1TB Gen3 m.2 SSD Montech XR EVGA 650W PSU) $550
It's only 485 dollars that's not bad. I'd ask you if it has a warranty on the pc and for how long. I'm tired of low ball begging people they would have you pay them if you would fall for it.
Which is why I recommend not selling expensive parts these days. I have been selling PC parts for 9 years and the market place is not the same anymore. I had a buyer tell me they had the product stolen two days after they bought the product and before I shipped it to them.
You scared that person off 12:59 Instead of assuring them that it's a good reliable pc build they can count on, you practically tell them they're outright screwed if they get it and there's something wrong with it.

I've always recognized the Chrono Trigger sounds but never saw the Magus's Castle portrait on the wall. Nice! I never saw how much the shipping was. Did the buyer pay Jawa and Jawa gave you a prepaid label? Any idea what they are charging?
I have experience in this area, it is very competitive, people are very wishy washy when it comes to puter sales. Expect lots of no-shows, insults and even total waste of time people.
My answer to what's.my lowest price is typically like this. "Well, if I was buying it from myself I'd pay $700 and then give myself a $20 tip because I'm such a nice guy. If you want to make me a reasonable offer, please do. The worst thing that is going to happen is I say no." That's usually the end of the conversation. 😂
I have a question, When buying used parts what happens if you buy hardware that's ban from a video game and you get on that video game, Dose your account get ban? Or you just out of what ever you bought?
This video kind of explains how the the resell maker goes at least for me. I’ve never attempted to sell on Jawa but I might bc of this vid. But any ways when it comes to which is better between Facebook Marketplace or offer up I’ve been lowballed less and sold more on market place. Although a few times I have landed some solid sales of offer up so can’t sleep on it either😂
Thanks for sharing this video and turning me on to Jawa. So, to be clear, you had to measure the box dimensions and weigh it all and include those in the listings then the buyer will get a fair and accurate shipping price right? That's the way I normally do it on Ebay when I don't include free shipping. I also like that Jawa encourages a buyer to test run the PC within 48 hrs. unlike Ebay where a buyer can have the item in their possession for months while using it and possibly abusing it and breaking it then they decide to leave a negative/neutral feedback which is very unfair to a seller.
@@Alpha-ms9nj yes I weighed it beforehand and measured the box, unfortunately I cut the segment showing that because the video was running too long, seems I should have kept it now 😅
Do you sell everything with no operating system? I see a lot of other creators, not just you, on youtube that build a 300-400 gaming PC with insane good specs for the price, but no one ever talks about the operating system costs. I do buy and sell local used PC for small profits/hobby, There is almost no way i could match a pc spec'd like this one for only 485.00, maybe if i did not include an active OS I could get close. for exampleI'm about to sell a PC thats got I5-4450 - H97M mobo - 16g ram - GTX 760 - 700w rosewill power supply - new Zalman case - 250GB ssd - 500GB hhd - Argb fans with controller - cooler master cpu cooler - Sama RGB case fans and windows 10 ...... with no build fee I'm sittin around 400.00, I will be listing for 450 soon, hoping to at least get 400.00 These videos I believe hurt the used market more than help because it leads the laymen to believe they should be getting an RX 6600 in a 400 pc.... thats just nuts.... this GTX 760 still runs fortnite 1080p on low settings at 60fps.. .
No offense bro I’ve been flipping PCs for a year now (40 sold so far). That price for those specs is just horrendous. Also, from any legit website W11 pro is literally $5-$7. You’re making it sound like a really big deal. If your build cost isn’t like $250 on those specs. You’re just plainly doing it wrong. Good luck with everything but take it to heart :)
@@JJ0203 what ever is said after "no offense" is likely offensive, lol, its cool though im not offended. I never said or suggested that what I am selling is a good computer. It does work and does run most Dx11 games just fine. I cant find cheap decent graphics cards in my area, hell theres a guy in my town that refused to sell me a GTX 960 for 35.00. I am upfront with people I talk to about the PC, I give a full breakdown of exactly what parts are in it. Are you buy windows 10 for the same price? if so where? I've only been able to find em for around 25.00
@@zurimuris4222 I haven't used the windows key sites, which is what that guy is referring to, but I'm sure they're fine. They're supposedly extra working keys being sold by third parties. Several tech youtubers promote them. Imo, MS is ripping ppl off selling it themselves for like $130. They get so much data off you it should be like $20 from them.
@@JJ0203 Nice amount of PCs to be able to sell 👍 What's your preferred platforms to sell on? I'm trying to find a platform for a couple PCs and several laptops I have. Thanks!
After watching a few videos about jawa, I decided to post a listing on there. Listing price $450 within 30 minutes, first response I get on the listing.. Will you take $100 right now? I was hoping to avoid the low ballers. I guess no matter which site you use, it is just part of the experience.
OOOOOOF that's bad luck. I think the nice part is though, that you can ignore all messages you want and be hands free with it until a buyer comes along that is serious and buys at your set price, whereas with the local platforms you still need to watch your messages in search for someone buying at that price. With Jawa just set and forget until you get the email that says "listing sold". Best practice is so list on all platforms for the best chances though!
Selling on multiple platforms is just too confusing and hard to keep up with. I don't sell built PC because of the ridiculous cost of shipping, trying to package them to protects them from damage and then dealing with cranky buyers; not to mention the amount of money these platforms charge to list an item. I sell parts! Way better and much easier. If I get a complete system, I test it. If it works, I pull it apart and sell the working components.
you gotta do one dedicated to just Facebook, I feel like you got off waayyy too easy Danny I am in New Zealand and can only sell on Facebook, no Ebay or Jawa here haha took me over a week to sell a freshly built PC that had no build fee and was sold for cost
been trying to sell my mini itx nzxt h2 with i7-12700f and 6650xt for $600 for months now, which i think is a good deal but best offer i've gotten is $300... market is not good
I looked into Jawa then it only said USA only - since i cant use Jawa as a non residents seller wat is a good alternative that is top notch exactly like Jawa ?? Ebay is not really that great ....

I sell PC's and hardware, have been doing this since 2005 in Portland since the craigslist days. I also sell on Jawa, only GPUs though, easy to ship. PC's and hardware, mostly FBMP is the winner. I actually keep my contacts and try to keep a list of people, so I don't have to deal with random people all the time. Offerup down here is joke. People will waste your time and lowball you.
I have wanted to try selling on Jawa so many times but I’m just nervous that someone will buy my build and then swap parts out and return it or something like that.
Just have good pics of it before sold, so of anyone switches something out it's obvious. The only problem you could have at that point would be someone switching out a broken copy of the part for the working one you sold, and claim that was the one you sold. Unless I guess if it was a GPU and you took a picture of the serial number, you'd know at that point.
Watching this after somebody asked me my lowest on marketplace and proceeded to offer $300 under that so.. yeah something like that. (My lowest was $750 on a PC with an i5-12400f, RTX 3070 Ti, 32 GB RAM, 2TB SSD). To be fair I've also had some success so yeah kinda a mixed bag overall
Ima just throw it out there. Ima hella toxic when it comes to buying PC's or ANYTHING off these market place. My toxic trait is, I be hitting em up with 3 or 4 diff accounts if smt catches my eyes and if they are "firm" of they price (or if the price kinda ridiculous to begin with) I slowly break em down with those 4 accounts (you know what I mean) ik this sounds like some reverse physiology attack on the guy but I aint lien' to em, if you think abt it. I'm just budging them, testing their tension, the pressure on their locks of sort. I mean if the second guy, 3rd guy, 4th guy or whichever is able to get a better deal off the guy after each subsequent breaking than why shouldn't it be me? if it wasn't me he would hook up the 4th or 5th guy to message him after so many fails; naturally either ways. So I ain't really "cheating em" Im just testing em posing as diff people. Sorry not sorry, and even then I respect em by not ghosting them atleast I gatta give em that atleast at minimum I respect em to verbally let em know when the negotiating is done or when the deal seems "fair" enough to me. Until I hit em up with the 3rd 😂😁thing feels like that moment when you keep throwing pokeballs at that one pokemon that wont go down until the masterball 😂😂 I swear im not fked up like that.

Instead of assuring them that it's a good reliable pc build they can count on, you practically tell them they're outright screwed if they get it and there's something wrong with it. I know that's not what you said, and they can return it within that window of time after receiving it if there's something wrong with it, but trust me that is what they were thinking. You should have been more helpful and friendly when addressing the buyer. After all, in that video at that time you are currently in the business of selling... be a good friendly helpful salesman and don't come off as some cold jerk who wants to evade responsibility.

@@user-kf4gt7bo2k yeah it's crazy. At that point, it's not worth the energy to reply to it. I try to only buy things I need and will use a lot and wait for sales from retail stores for a deal. Resell apps aren't worth it for buying or selling much when you might as well wait for 20-50% off from retail stores with warranty and support and then toss it out when it's broken, worn out, or obsolete. As for the ridiculously high retail prices for used people need to adopt the "let it rot" idea and let them eat the loss when it doesn't sell like overpriced used cars 😂
If someone is asking a fair price, I'll typically pay it without haggling, but if it isn't a great deal, I will haggle and explain why to the seller, while doing so. I hate when either party ghosts the other during negotiations.

@@jakeleo4518 everyone has different methods, I find most sellers on marketplace don't even respond to potential customers 90% of the time, to the point it is irritating
I once had a seller tell me that they thought I may be a scammer because I didn't haggle. lol
@@jakeleo4518 True. I've used this trick a ton when I see something good that's overpriced. I've managed to get 4070 ti supers for $600 doing this. The "unprecedented demand" part is what gets them to lower their floor. Facebook has cracked down on this behavior in the past few years though. Can't automate it as easily if you don't already have accounts ready. Costs more money, more hassle. Used to be way easier.
I've also found that no matter what price you list people will always undercut you by at least 10-20% and then get offended when that's not an option, so I just started automatically marking things up by almost 50% and slowly dropping the price until it sells. The audacity of people offering me half price on something already half off. I'm talking a monitor that's 60% lower of what you can find on ebay as I wanted to get rid of it, and then they ask for another 50% on top of that. I respect it, but you're not getting the sale. I've found that just ignoring them works best as if they message once or twice facebook won't give them the option to leave a review. People can leave you bad reviews just because they didn't like that you didn't take their lowball offer and tried really hard to get you to accept taking a lowball. I'm not joking. This has happened twice. Couldn't believe it both times it happened. Can't remove those reviews either even when you mass report them.
Flipping PC's in the Netherlands for me is very easy the last 3 years, i don't ask to much and give a garanty on what i sell and the last year i am getting repeat customers and refurals from previous buyers.

Nice to see the process from beginning to end.
I was initially not a fan of Jawa, but stuff does sell pretty fast on there if the price is right.
I would be curious to see what an ebay auction would bring these days.
It can be a real PITA to sell PC's locally. I want to say it's unheard of to see someone offer $150 for a system with a 5600 and a 6600, when it would only buy you the GPU, let alone the rest of the system... but I've dealt with some lowballers with even more audacity. However, selling on Jawa has it's own pitfalls that keep me from using it.
Hey man, u mind sharing some of the pitfalls on Jawa u faced? I have a bunch of tech/electronics to sell and looking at platforms. thanks!
@@zerocal76 Sure.
Primarily... the same risks that you take selling anything on eBay. You, as the seller, take all the risk. People can try to screw you over, though I've been selling crap on eBay here and there since the late 90's and that's not a huge issue, but it does happen, and eBay tends to side with the buyer.
The other thing I do not like is that shipping a PC is difficult. I've shipped more than a few and sometimes, just using expanding foam packs isn't enough and there can be problems. No to mention that those are added costs on top of what you're already paying out in fees to Jawa.
Then there's the fact that I like to offer warranty services on the PC, even the used ones, that go beyond the typical short period. That's something I can't really offer people if I sell it on Jawa without them having to ship it back, which is more risk and more cost to me.
I'd rather sell locally... but sometimes, I consider trying Jawa. My local market is pretty weak even when it is a sellers market, and it sure isn't a sellers market right now. Jawa certainly does open you up to a lager consumer base.
I sell on Mercari I build and flip PCs. I haven't had any luck on Jawa yet. Started listing there the past couple weeks, but PCs have sold thru Mercari. Only had 1 person message on Jawa. A few saves, but nothing else.
@@mtzkustom7818 I had thought about trying Mercari too. Seems they've lifted some of their fees making it more feasible. I might have to give them both a try since it seems things are really dry around here, which my area was already dry enough, for selling PCs.
@@zerocal76 the biggest Pitfall that I'm guessing he's talking about is the buyer protection it can be abused against the seller

I sold pcs on Jawa and Facebook for probably 3 years or so, I usually avoid trades and lowballs.
Don't get robbed - set up in-person meets at a public place like a Starbucks, or for high-value transactions at a local police station.
I actually bought my first ever PC from Jawa and it was all because of your “I Bought a $1000 “Custom” Prebuilt Pc” video lol. My personal experience has been great so far! From the sites interface and the sellers, its a great way to start someone first PC journey
A good rule of thumb for any individual trying to sell anything to the general public - try to make the most you can while interacting with as few people as possible. The general public is absolutely crazy and the less you have to interact with other people over a sales transaction, the better for your sanity. I would not want to sell computers to people. They aren't worth anything and selling gaming computers is just higher dollar low margin sales with customers that have even higher expectations and nitpicks. Learn to fix and sell more expensive things that average people use so you have to interact with fewer people to make the same amount of money you would make selling a low dollar item to a lot of people.
I use local marketplaces to sell Gaming PCs so no shipping, only pickup.
All games tested are listed and have the appropriate TH-cam Video of the Benchmarks viewable via a link.
Pricing is set by the competition and every PC so far went same day or next without any low ballers or trades.
The real buyers knew what it was worth and didn't want to piss me off by trying to bargain with me. ( words from a buyer )

One tip i'd like to share for anyone building, selling and shipping pcs. If you buy your case from amazon request to hide the packaging "ship in amazon package" your set up for a good double box shipment at no extra cost. I always double box. I used to buy boxes from ups if i couldnt find a suitable outer box. Now i just use the case manufacturer box inside and the outer amazon box. Its saved me a lot of trouble hunting boxes.
Honestly I've never been that impressed with Jawas used parts section. It's just never really been nothing that was so much better than any other place else it's just not. I bought two things off of there and both times it was not good. I bought a 8086k and a ASRock fatality motherboard combo and the motherboard gave out in like 3 months and the second time I bought a 1060 and it didn't even last a year so I have much better luck on eBay.
As in yesterday I've got an Asus ROG Strix 4060 TI for $223 out the door. There was a liquidator that had 11 of them and I hit it at just the right time they went quick and he even accepts returns and everything. Scored😎
Dayum that's a nice find. Enjoy it meng 👍
I ended up selling my previous build for about 200$ cheaper than the parts go for individually, just to stop with the headaches of "Is this still available" plus having a full-size tower floating around taking up space wasn't the best.
congrats on 300k
If you need places to print in a hurry, Walmart, Fedex Kinkos, and the UPS stores tend to do it fairly cheap (the UPS stores do charge a bit more for computer usage).
As for selling locally, grab a super cheap portable monitor and wireless keyboard with a trackpad off of Amazon, and take it inside of a police station. They've always allowed for me to use the sockets to turn it on. It might be apt to show up early and ask first, but they most likely won't take issues with. It's not really all that different from making a regular sale in a police station parking lot. It's far safer, and if the buyer refuses to even meet up there, that should tell you all you need to know.
I’ve sold roughly 8 PCs on Facebook marketplace so far since I’ve started flipping around two months ago. I’ve made a ton more money than I would have on Jawa. Not scamming anyone, just the fees are ridiculous on Jawa. Of course your build sold fast, it’s a great price. But $50 for the time it takes to find these parts deals as well as listing, building, meeting. Not worth it at all. I always add a $100 build/time fee and of course leave some room for haggling. The market on jawa is just too competitive. I’m able to supply people with decent deals on PCs as well as support and the offer to change any parts that go bad within 6 months. It’s just way harder on Jawa when everything is shipped
You're right about the build time fee. $50 is woefully inadequate, especially when you're doing all the work and you have to test it.
Giving support and offer to change parts within 6 months has got to make people feel more confident.
You seem like a good chap.
I'm a jawa seller turned Jawa staff, My recommendation is just to list on both with the fees adjusted like NOAB did, I list on marketplace for less than i list for on jawa and often my Jawa listings would sell first even with the higher price because the demand is higher and buyers have way more purchase intent. I would recommend giving it a try before you write it off just for the fees.
@@ValhayaPC I’ve listed three pcs on jawa. I did list for slightly more because of fees. I suppose either they sold too quickly on fb or people were just interested in other pcs. I always try to give a fair deal, hence why I’ve sold so many. I rely on finding the best deals to make my profit. I just feel fb has way better success. I’d love to have a great profile and relationship with Jawa users, my fb profile has a ton of excellent 5 star reviews and I think maybe that lack of reviews is also making it harder on Jawa when they can pay the same price and get one from a verified reputable seller. Which would incentivize me to offer lower prices and make less, just to seem established on the site

I live in Singapore and I get similar rates from lowballers. Its almost as if they had a script to offer 1/5 of the listing price. If its rejected, offer a trade or maybe up it to 1/4 of the listing price.
It seems to me these people probaby don't know, or don't care what the actual value of the product is. They just follow the script, bid at 1/5 the listed price. And wait for people to bite.
And when a deal is actually done, I'm sure they will relist it with the actual value and even copy the pictures from the original lister, and try to sell it for profit.
we need jawa in canada!
$50 build fee is fair. Its what I charge. Luckily ive not had the "weird" offers or low balls over the years.. guess ive been lucky? lol
Basically, if I can't get a good deal on a used pc, then I wouldn't even buy from someone selling their old pc. It would make more sense to buy a newer one as 95% of the time you'll get a way better deal just buying a pre-built with a full warranty and no worries of if something may be wrong with the pc
Your vids are interesting to watch. You shipped that PC is an expensive PC case box, I know it was free but the problem is you really want unmarked boxes that don't reveal contents for porch pirates, only thing that makes me nervous being in a larger city
In this particular case it was delivery with adult signature only. He noted that in the video. You're right about unmarked boxes though, and don't send anything with Amazon tape on it.
With those "What's the lowest you'll go?" I sometimes respond with double the list price, or maybe $20 more than the list price.
I am immediately disinterested in selling to anyone that requests I bid against myself. My initial offer is the list price. Counter with a reasonable offer if you think the asking price is too high.
Bro, it's so awesome to see how far you have come since your humble beginnings. Keep up the good work. I hope one day to be invited to one of your lan parties, even though we are just imaginary friends 😂
TY, Great experiment
This is what i really dislike about selling in general.
On one side you have local/meet ups without the hassle of shipping, but you tend to either get a constant influx of lowballing, terrible trades, and worst case scenario when the seller/buyer are refusing to meet in public for safe transactions.
Then you have ebay where even if your covered by the buyer/seller protection, the Fees that arrives with shipping, packaging, and listing/final fees really add up.
just frustrating sometimes lol
With the shipping label barcode you receive from most selling platforms you can have the carrier print it out at the post office for USPS or at the store for the others.
It is so hard to find one person that will take it seriously
I just picked up a 3770 on Jawa as an upgrade for my Unraid server. Only $25 bucks with shipping!
Yes I was trying to sale my first build on offerup and got no offers. I never tried jawa because I do not know how to ship a pc safely. I have just upgraded my gpu and just use it every now and again. Thanks for the video. Love all your content.
some local jails actually have public meeting spots so that if you do get robbed its well documented and there are officers nearby
For me it's always been a hassle to sell a full built PC or even just a combo like MB/RAM, MB/CPU or MB, Ram and CPU. I usually end up selling parts indavidually even then trying to sell Offerup, FB market, Craigslist I get to many lowball offers that I just move to ebay and sell my parts. The only thing I never got hassled over were cases lol I've thrown cases up on craigslist from $25-$60 and was able to get the sales.
I have 2 listed on JAWA. Haven't had much luck yet.
I always add "If you are reading this it's still available" at the top of the ad and when they inevitably ask, I ask them to please read the first line of the ad. Offerup is terrible for low ballers. As bad as most other places are Offerup seems to be the worst. I had a kid beg me to sell him a trash pc I was selling for $200. All he had was $50 and begged me after telling me how bad his life was. I had to block him. Thanks for another great video.
After this video, I am seriously considering Jawa or eBay. I have always tried to sell locally because I hate dealing with the risk of shipping and someone reversing charges but I haven't sold on eBay in 15+ years so I'm assuming sellers are better protected now?
I consistently get low-ball offers on everything I try to sell locally on Facebook marketplace or Craigslist. I have taken low offers just to get rid of things but sometimes they are systems with almost all new parts that are worth double what I end up getting. The area I live has a high percentage of out of work people and it's hard to get people to buy computers when they can't afford to eat.
I spend hours of research on a PC to see exact use case, value for money, best price for given piece of build etc. So I have a Kaby Lake i5 cpu. A Z270 Gigabyte MB that was a Boxing day $99 Can. Case is CM Storm Enforcer for the 2 USB 2.0 and 2 USB 3.0 and 200mm front intake fan, $50 on sale. PSU EVGA 650 GQ 80+ Gold.
Now it's in the living room as an entertainment center. I have 4 different custom systems but with all the time and effort I put into them, I don't want to give any of them up.
I've done the same with old builds one is a TV entertainment center and others well I haven't parted with yet though I could part with some of them.
I keep debating if I want to sell my first build or not. The used mkt won't do it justice! Maybe I'll keep all my builds too 🤷🏻♂️
Problem is once you've filled up your living room, office. and basement with old PCs, what do you do with them? :/
@@joby602 Well I actually built a lot of PCs to order for friends. And actually did give away one old PC when a friends system died. So currently at 4 systems. Going to wait for at least another generation possibly two to make another PC. Meanwhile making theoretical build on PC partpicker.
I personally don’t like these middle man companies that charge a premium fee. The reason we want to trade amongst ourselves is because we are tired of being the ones paying for corporate greed.
I actually would have been tempted by that Quest 3 trade offer lol
😅 same here but depends on the condition. Buying used stuff that ppl wear is risky. Maybe they pick their nose and then scratch their head, which makes bogger dandruff fall onto the headset 😭😄
50$ on a $400 PC is like 10% profit with all these hassle.
Totally not worth it.
When you sell a PC like this. I’m guessing you load fresh copy of windows. My question is do you leave it up to the buyer to load drivers & Windows updates or do you pre load them?
You get some real interesting conversations on marketplace. I was selling a 6600 back when they were around $250 and a guy offered me $150. I said no but I had a 1070 he could buy for that. He went on lecturing me about how he doesn't buy old parts and all his stuff is top of the line. He then went on to offer $100 plus a 360 water cooler, I said sorry my case doesn't even fit that cooler otherwise I would think about it and he was pissed started cussing me out.
I've never used Jawa before, but I recently sold an iPad Pro and got ghosted three times. I was also called a scammer simply because I didn’t offer pickup as an option.
is there a comparison between jawa and ebay in terms of the fees? Which one has the least amount of fees, letting you keep the most money?
I got mostly the same lowballing for a similar PC a similar price.
I got some more decent offers too at -$100, but I held -$50 firm.
I even got an offer to trade for a Mac.
It took a about a week on other platforms (Don't live in the US) until I finally got it sold, haven't heard from the buyer in a little over a week now, so I suspect the buyer is a happy camper.

It's only 485 dollars that's not bad. I'd ask you if it has a warranty on the pc and for how long. I'm tired of low ball begging people they would have you pay them if you would fall for it.
always worried that trying to sell parts or pc will result in getting low balled or scammed,
Which is why I recommend not selling expensive parts these days. I have been selling PC parts for 9 years and the market place is not the same anymore. I had a buyer tell me they had the product stolen two days after they bought the product and before I shipped it to them.
You scared that person off 12:59
Instead of assuring them that it's a good reliable pc build they can count on, you practically tell them they're outright screwed if they get it and there's something wrong with it. I know that's not what you said, and they can return it within that window of time after receiving it if there's something wrong with it, but trust me that is what they were thinking. You should have been more helpful and friendly when addressing the buyer. After all, in that video at that time you are currently in the business of selling... be a good friendly helpful salesman and don't come off as some cold jerk who wants to evade responsibility.
i listed a a I9 12900k 64gb ram, iCUE H150i ELITE, Rtx 3070, 1tb nvme and a 1000wt psu for 1100 on jawa for about a month never sold.
I've always recognized the Chrono Trigger sounds but never saw the Magus's Castle portrait on the wall. Nice!
I never saw how much the shipping was. Did the buyer pay Jawa and Jawa gave you a prepaid label? Any idea what they are charging?
I have experience in this area, it is very competitive, people are very wishy washy when it comes to puter sales. Expect lots of no-shows, insults and even total waste of time people.
My answer to what's.my lowest price is typically like this.
"Well, if I was buying it from myself I'd pay $700 and then give myself a $20 tip because I'm such a nice guy. If you want to make me a reasonable offer, please do. The worst thing that is going to happen is I say no."
That's usually the end of the conversation. 😂
I don’t buy used because I don’t trust the sellers. I don’t want your worn out garbage advertised as like new.. I’ll buy new every time.
You didn’t consider the shipping cost
I have a question, When buying used parts what happens if you buy hardware that's ban from a video game and you get on that video game, Dose your account get ban? Or you just out of what ever you bought?
People always low ball and then try and tell you what you have isn't worth anything, blah blah blah.
This video kind of explains how the the resell maker goes at least for me. I’ve never attempted to sell on Jawa but I might bc of this vid. But any ways when it comes to which is better between Facebook Marketplace or offer up I’ve been lowballed less and sold more on market place. Although a few times I have landed some solid sales of offer up so can’t sleep on it either😂
You're set price is kind of low for the performance it offers. At that price, a 2600/3600 with a 1660 super is fine but not with a 5600/6600 combo.
Thanks for sharing this video and turning me on to Jawa. So, to be clear, you had to measure the box dimensions and weigh it all and include those in the listings then the buyer will get a fair and accurate shipping price right? That's the way I normally do it on Ebay when I don't include free shipping. I also like that Jawa encourages a buyer to test run the PC within 48 hrs. unlike Ebay where a buyer can have the item in their possession for months while using it and possibly abusing it and breaking it then they decide to leave a negative/neutral feedback which is very unfair to a seller.
@@Alpha-ms9nj yes I weighed it beforehand and measured the box, unfortunately I cut the segment showing that because the video was running too long, seems I should have kept it now 😅
Jawa in canada when?
Do you sell everything with no operating system?
I see a lot of other creators, not just you, on youtube that build a 300-400 gaming PC with insane good specs for the price, but no one ever talks about the operating system costs. I do buy and sell local used PC for small profits/hobby, There is almost no way i could match a pc spec'd like this one for only 485.00, maybe if i did not include an active OS I could get close.
for exampleI'm about to sell a PC thats got I5-4450 - H97M mobo - 16g ram - GTX 760 - 700w rosewill power supply - new Zalman case - 250GB ssd - 500GB hhd - Argb fans with controller - cooler master cpu cooler - Sama RGB case fans and windows 10 ...... with no build fee I'm sittin around 400.00, I will be listing for 450 soon, hoping to at least get 400.00
These videos I believe hurt the used market more than help because it leads the laymen to believe they should be getting an RX 6600 in a 400 pc.... thats just nuts.... this GTX 760 still runs fortnite 1080p on low settings at 60fps..
.
I love the video and content, dont get me wrong. but it may make some people feel justified in low balling me for my refurbished/rebuilt pcs.
No offense bro I’ve been flipping PCs for a year now (40 sold so far). That price for those specs is just horrendous. Also, from any legit website W11 pro is literally $5-$7. You’re making it sound like a really big deal. If your build cost isn’t like $250 on those specs. You’re just plainly doing it wrong. Good luck with everything but take it to heart :)
@@JJ0203 what ever is said after "no offense" is likely offensive, lol, its cool though im not offended. I never said or suggested that what I am selling is a good computer. It does work and does run most Dx11 games just fine. I cant find cheap decent graphics cards in my area, hell theres a guy in my town that refused to sell me a GTX 960 for 35.00. I am upfront with people I talk to about the PC, I give a full breakdown of exactly what parts are in it.
Are you buy windows 10 for the same price? if so where? I've only been able to find em for around 25.00
@@zurimuris4222 I haven't used the windows key sites, which is what that guy is referring to, but I'm sure they're fine. They're supposedly extra working keys being sold by third parties. Several tech youtubers promote them. Imo, MS is ripping ppl off selling it themselves for like $130. They get so much data off you it should be like $20 from them.
@@JJ0203 Nice amount of PCs to be able to sell 👍 What's your preferred platforms to sell on? I'm trying to find a platform for a couple PCs and several laptops I have. Thanks!
After watching a few videos about jawa, I decided to post a listing on there. Listing price $450 within 30 minutes, first response I get on the listing.. Will you take $100 right now? I was hoping to avoid the low ballers. I guess no matter which site you use, it is just part of the experience.
OOOOOOF that's bad luck. I think the nice part is though, that you can ignore all messages you want and be hands free with it until a buyer comes along that is serious and buys at your set price, whereas with the local platforms you still need to watch your messages in search for someone buying at that price. With Jawa just set and forget until you get the email that says "listing sold". Best practice is so list on all platforms for the best chances though!
What an entertaining video. Keep the good work up
This reminds me of when I sold my gaming laptop. I had it on facebook and offerup for MONTHS. It sold in like a couple weeks on ebay
Don't sell anything in Sweden or you'll go mad. The last time they advertised a price of 8000 sek, they just put 3000?
Selling on multiple platforms is just too confusing and hard to keep up with. I don't sell built PC because of the ridiculous cost of shipping, trying to package them to protects them from damage and then dealing with cranky buyers; not to mention the amount of money these platforms charge to list an item. I sell parts! Way better and much easier. If I get a complete system, I test it. If it works, I pull it apart and sell the working components.
Facts that’s the best way to go. I’ve been selling PC parts for 9 years. People that do what he does do it for the content on TH-cam.
Love your videos but I assume you've dropped NZXT too?
you gotta do one dedicated to just Facebook, I feel like you got off waayyy too easy Danny I am in New Zealand and can only sell on Facebook, no Ebay or Jawa here haha took me over a week to sell a freshly built PC that had no build fee and was sold for cost
been trying to sell my mini itx nzxt h2 with i7-12700f and 6650xt for $600 for months now, which i think is a good deal but best offer i've gotten is $300... market is not good
When people low ball as in this video, I usually respond with ok so $150? When can you have the remaining $335?
bruh im selling a pc on offerup for 700 dollars and someone offered 50 dollars
then he had the audacity after being turned down to offer 40
They need to make a jawa uk version 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
People try to trade used Jordan shoes, PS4s, and clothes out by me
I looked into Jawa then it only said USA only - since i cant use Jawa as a non residents seller wat is a good alternative that is top notch exactly like Jawa ?? Ebay is not really that great ....
Bro, its bad lately, sold 3 last year, 1200 dollar pcs....average offer us 500....even had a guy tell me he was a "veteran" then offered 350..for a pc/ddr5/4070ti etc. TF
@@brocksamson5786 people are hypocrits, especially the poor. They want cheap stuff but they Dont want to get paid low, or want to get pay hight but not want to spend hight.
I get life is life but you know what else this life is an economist life and in these econemy everything a buissnes and a trade so like, stop being cheap either accept it or move on.
Is jawa supported in australia?
I sell PC's and hardware, have been doing this since 2005 in Portland since the craigslist days. I also sell on Jawa, only GPUs though, easy to ship. PC's and hardware, mostly FBMP is the winner. I actually keep my contacts and try to keep a list of people, so I don't have to deal with random people all the time. Offerup down here is joke. People will waste your time and lowball you.
I saw this on Jawa I was gna buy it but I was short $50 and didn’t think they were gna just drop it by 50 for one person💀
How much would I get for a Core 2 Duo e8400 with GTS 250, 4GB DDR2 RAM, and 1TB HDD?
sorry i just started laughing thinking about the person that got the orange juice bottle
dang this is my sign to sell on jawa, my local market can suck just like what danny went through lol
Does Jawa work in Canada?
I have wanted to try selling on Jawa so many times but I’m just nervous that someone will buy my build and then swap parts out and return it or something like that.
Just have good pics of it before sold, so of anyone switches something out it's obvious. The only problem you could have at that point would be someone switching out a broken copy of the part for the working one you sold, and claim that was the one you sold. Unless I guess if it was a GPU and you took a picture of the serial number, you'd know at that point.
It's easy enough to get the serial numbers of all the parts. I would never sell without having the serial numbers.
Too bad, Asiaahns would be the dingiest low balling buyers. Lucky for those vr sets tho since I've loved the concept before I went university.
21:39 the cooler master haf x case? If yes that is the best case.
If I told you that I bought my pc(i7 9700 with a gtx 1660 1tb hdd and 16gb ram ddr4 3200mhz) for only $100 what would you say?
Liar or Thief or Great job! Your choice. 😅
Watching this after somebody asked me my lowest on marketplace and proceeded to offer $300 under that so.. yeah something like that. (My lowest was $750 on a PC with an i5-12400f, RTX 3070 Ti, 32 GB RAM, 2TB SSD). To be fair I've also had some success so yeah kinda a mixed bag overall
whats the thing on his glasses?
@@DEDZED mic
Back in 2010 i got offered 40 cages for small mammals (mice etc.) for gtx 260. Since then I don't resell just throw all my old stuff into the trash :)
You're much kinder to low ballers than I would be and I've been selling PCs for 33 years. 😊
Ima just throw it out there. Ima hella toxic when it comes to buying PC's or ANYTHING off these market place. My toxic trait is, I be hitting em up with 3 or 4 diff accounts if smt catches my eyes and if they are "firm" of they price (or if the price kinda ridiculous to begin with) I slowly break em down with those 4 accounts (you know what I mean) ik this sounds like some reverse physiology attack on the guy but I aint lien' to em, if you think abt it. I'm just budging them, testing their tension, the pressure on their locks of sort. I mean if the second guy, 3rd guy, 4th guy or whichever is able to get a better deal off the guy after each subsequent breaking than why shouldn't it be me? if it wasn't me he would hook up the 4th or 5th guy to message him after so many fails; naturally either ways. So I ain't really "cheating em" Im just testing em posing as diff people. Sorry not sorry, and even then I respect em by not ghosting them atleast I gatta give em that atleast at minimum I respect em to verbally let em know when the negotiating is done or when the deal seems "fair" enough to me. Until I hit em up with the 3rd 😂😁thing feels like that moment when you keep throwing pokeballs at that one pokemon that wont go down until the masterball 😂😂 I swear im not fked up like that. I just thought that up rn.
