this makes me think that selling the rig probably is a dumb decision too. because the price goes down, a lot of miners leave, so the difficulty goes down and its easier to get your currency and once the price comes back up you got way more than if there never was a crash.
This totally illustrates something I've been noticing for a while. Ever since the surge of computer hardware, everybody thinks resale should go up in value instead of down. Very strange times.

If only I hung on before I bought my 2060! lol.

Yes and no. Selling your old computers online is a hassle. If you put down a reasonable asking price, literally everyone is gonna reply you with a "Best I can do is 60~70% less than you're asking for"
@@atomiicpunk So? All you do is decline the offer until a reasonable one appears, simple. Every single person that sells somethin online will encounter someone who rolls up with a lower-than-expected offer. Once tried to sell something for around $1K, some dude asked if he could swap for a PS2 and $250, I said no and moved on. Put an ad up the other day for $22K, received a few funny offers, 3 weeks later a guy said he's happy with the asking price and there we go, sorted, no issues. All you need is a little patience until the right buyer comes along, that's all 💯

The funniest thing about that exact computer is that it has the same cable management as me, the same CPU as me and the same NZXT AIO as me. I had to check to make sure someone hadn't put pictures of my computer up for sale.
@@MikkoRantalainen Oh, absolutely. The "cable management" in that computer was just atrocious. I just mean that I also have a long history of having too many bits in my computer that require too many messy cables to make as neat as I'd like.
Every single one of these PC, can be gotten much cheaper by just buying a new one. It's amazing how these people think that these parts went up in value as time passed.
True. Only used computer I ever bought were serious retro. I bought a Tandy 1000 SX for $200, which is rare itself with 5.25 floppies lol. And also a Windows 98 retro machine lol Other than that I only do new when it comes to gaming PCs.
Especially with laptops and gaming laptops in general. Like my god...They are completely different than desktops when it comes to value. Including the mentality of the value of them.
Most used PC offers here in Germany are awful as well. There is the occasional bargin, but generally speaking it's more expensive than buying new, which doesn't make any sense.
I recently upgraded a portion of my rig. I had no idea what my 2017 components were worth. So I looked up each item on eBay Canada, then knocked a few dollars off each item and posted it to my local Kijiji area. Sold everything without issue within a couple weeks.
I second this. Linus said on the WAN show that they would only do it if they find a new approach. I personally would watch it if it's done every 6 months or so. I love the VFM aspect of it.
It was a big reason for getting me into my local used market. If they just compete for the best price/performance on a sub $500 that could make for something really interesting, especially if we know which benchmarks are ahead of time so you can do research on how to best win each category..
id love to see scapyard wars with Dawid does tech stuff, hes local Vancouver and i can already see him finding an AMAZING deal on a single 16gb stick of ram and having a stroke over deciding to go single channel or not.
I love the banter in this video, I love the style of how this is presented. I love seeing more unscripted features from these two. I will engage the algorithm if it means things like this keep happening.
I remember how I was upgrading to Ryzen 3300 from Phenom and thought to myself, - why don't I go on Kijiji and save me some cash. Worst idea ever... Couple days later I realised that not only will I spend a lot more time buying parts than in the store, but I will actually PAY MORE than the same peripherals cost NEW at the store. And not only that but I would have to deal with Mr. and Ms. "Attitude" throughout this already negative experience practically 2 out of 3 messages. From getting offended at asking for $20 reduction on an item that cost over $200 (when it clearly said "or best offer") to people raising prices when you get to their place "Oh this other guy called and he is willing to give me $40 more for this" highballing BS. On top of that - people disappearing for no apparent reason in the middle of conversation, people refusing to answer legitimate questions (or pretending they didn't read them), people NOT KNOWING WHICH CPU OR HOW MUCH RAM THE COMPUTER THEY'RE SELLING HAS (despite the ad being there for over 2 months)...etc. etc.
Actually, they all are listed with stock coolers and: a single RGB fan as an exhaust, or the front panel has a cheap 3-pack of 120mm RGB 😂 The amazing thing is, I've seen that exact same pairing about 10 times locally. Makes me think someone was clearing out a school's old inventory and trying to make a quick buck lol
@@bonniscootor lmao, well its definitely aimed for kids to beg their parents. They didn't know research after all, as long as its shiny they thought its good.
@GH0STST4RSCR34M That's the thing, they're all on Optiplex motherboards that have been transferred to a "gaming ATX case" (straight from the seller listing). Very odd CPU power sockets, absolutely no option to get a bigger or better GPU because of where the 24-pin connector is, and only a single PCIe slot.
You found a decent number with specs at least. So many in my area don't give any specs beyond brand name and it's "super fast" A number of people in my area are trying to sell what looks like HP Stream Laptops for $200-$300, when you can buy the new one in the store for $200.
I have never once seen Anthony say one single thing I disagreed with. Like I can nitpick with anybody, I can nitpick Stallman, but Anythony none. I also will never stop complaining about iGarbage after being subjected to them for years.
This is a nice offshoot to the roasting of set-up, especially considering that the used market has improved a decent bit thanks to the collapse of crypto-mining.
@@georger5558 because Anthony is the old wise man and an elder statesman and has more knowledge in his pinky when it comes to computers then most people will ever have.
watching anthony and jake give their humorous and honest opinions derived from their advanced knowledge of most things computer related this was incredibly entertaining and hilarious lol, i really look forward to another installment of shopping on the bargain bin markets of the cyber network. ^_^
I have been wanting to buy a Radeon VII for years. Just to mess around with it, I like the HBM2 it has. Originally, it cost 800€ in Germany. Before this recent insanity, you could buy it used for 300-400€, a couple of years ago. During the end of last year, those were 900 to 1500€, and now they still want to get 600-700€ for it. Even though there are now better GPUs available for much cheaper.
I got a VII at/near launch (partly paid for by my work) and yea its been great fun to play with HBM2 for compute, gaming performance is exactly what every reviewer found it to be though so anyone wanting more for it than like a 1080ti is bonkers to me.
@@admalledd Yeah, that’s what I thought. It is insane. And even though other cards are expensive as well, the VII is worse because apparently, it is pretty good for mining so naturally, prices are shit.
It is a cool GPU that has its advantages. Supposedly that HBM2 is good for Ryse as there's a stutter that can only be overcome with that gigantic bandwidth. If I collected GPUs like the 8800GT or 7970 or 980 Pro etc I would add a Radeon VII to that collection for sure.
It's probably past the point where it's getting more expensive again due to its age and it's special place in the lineup. I'm trying to get my hands on a cheap 9800 (Radeon, not geforce) and it's almost impossible.
Branding and scarcity also play a big part. Apple laptops are basically the opposite of framework from the consumer rights perspective and they also hold their value well.
@@Crusader1089 Sometimes used Framework laptops will sell for more than their MSRP though, and bidding wars ensue. The wait to get a new one from the next available production batch probably causes people who want one now to seek the used market out of convenience or necessity. Even with the 12th gen boards out now, you don't see many 11th gen boards sitting unsold for long because of the secondary use market Framework is intentionally cultivating.
What a coincidence lol. I Just posted my R5 3600 (wraith cooler included), X570 tuf gaming plus wifi, and G skill trident Z royal 2x8 16gb 3200 Cl16 for $300 all together last night. I was just checking out similar offers for sale and people were literally listing R5 3600's for $200 all over the place... Literally the original launch price saying "no low balls". Don't even get me started on GPU's lol some people still have them listed for what they were going for a year ago. I love browsing FB marketplace and seeing the most ridiculous offers lol.
FB market is a fu* all scam. i literally have dodgy listing with "lust sells so what" weird photo at literal $1 (what?), which is followed by at least 30+ similar crap...
The thing is that overpriced listings work. I spend very little for upgrading my PC, because I always find someone willing to pay oddly high prices for my old stuff. The buyers either seem extremely ignorant or they know that they are overpaying, but want this exact SKU and nothing else for some odd reason. Like their old motherboard died and they want the exact same board, because... reasons I guess.
Will people get fooled more than once. I still think back to being all excited about a 15" LG LCD monitor rduced from £1000 to £650. In the end I waited a couple of years and got a 22" for £200.
That second one was CLEARLY bought just to rip the GPU out of it the freaking PC is a pre built OEM and has RGB and a tempered glass side panel AND the GPU is a GT710. Which OEM in their right mind would put a GT710 in an RGB tempered glass PC that has an i7 processor
You'd be surprised. I've actually seen a lot of prebuilts like that, they figure most people getting into PC gaming don't know better and they aren't wrong.
Tbf I bought a whole ass house off crypto. So. Your results will vary. But I also don't know that I'd be walking around quite so smug about it ...since I'm guessing you didn't get a house and ended up with nothing more then slight sense of "self satisfaction" from the entire ordeal.
Sometimes I go online to laugh at the prices by some people. My favortie ones are the ones that have "Only real buyers call. Don't waste my time if you don't want to buy" on their descriptions
I always have fun looking at used computers and prices it can give a person hours of entertainment if you realize what real value is and the prices people ask. I don't think some of these people realize what depreciation is.
Is it possible for Jake to host that roasting setup episodes everytime? I love his unique knowledge of a large piece of every field, which is fascinating if you consider his age. 😂 It was 19 y.o. iirc (someone mentioned it in a recent video with him, could be 20, 21 or 22... something around this). 😁 Truely passionated 🙏🏻
LOL good catch, has to be F right? like 100 degrees would make sense with inadequate or improperly mounted cooling but it has some kind of NZXT water cooler and given the water temps it's dissipating heat from the CPU, but what kind of 5900x even puts out enough power to heat the water in a radiator to 82 degrees celsius?!
I have 128GB in my gaming system but I host a large ark cluster on my pc 24/7 and have had up to 96GB usage before in my daily normal use. I agree most people don't need it but why are they crapping on 128GB of ram so hard lol. Either way keep up the great content guys!
My thoughts exactly!! The prices, the paired components, fine... But i wouldn't buy or build anything with less than 128GB RAM for what I do... It's 100% crucial (but not Crucial, just necessary).
Same. I build machines for my production company, and 128 GB is standard, but we’re doing things like AI upscaling and huge file renders and usually still have lots left over. I cannot fathom why anyone would need over 32 in a gaming machine. Even that is overkill really.
@@brandonwilson3507 considering how technology evolves and software demands are ever growing, this statement isn’t likely to age well. It’s like that quote attributed to Bill Gates where he is alleged to have said that “640KB out to be enough for anybody”. LTT even did a video recently suggesting that both the system architecture and the games themselves are starting to utilize more memory than they have before. And if you want to be able to game at high resolutions while simultaneously running Chrome, Discord, OBS/Twitch and other popular streaming apps which can use up a good chunk of memory, then having some “head room” isn’t a terrible idea. If you’ve ever encountered a memory leak in a game or any other application, then it’s also better to have more free memory available to delay the inevitable crash. (Not the best use case, but it’s happened to me, so I’m sure others have experienced this before.) Note: Still, that being said, 128GB is overkill for 99% of the gaming population.
Honestly I think they were crapping on it under the assumption that these guys put 128GB of ram in their rigs for no other reason other than to max out their specs, despite never having any need for even half of it. Based on the way a lot of the systems were built and listed I don't blame them for the assumption lol.
@@PsiliPharm2012 I actually don’t think most of the gaming population will need much more than 64GB even on the highest levels ever. As system architecture gets better and more integrated, and memory speeds from SSD’s and their successor technologies advances, not to mention cloud gaming, high system RAM may become more of a thing for specialists. I can foresee a future where memory and network latency are bigger impacts, along with the CPU’s ability to decode and run dedicated processes.
"Can run light-mid games" For 2300$ mind you. If that is the highest you can go, "mid games", and you pay 2300$ something is SERIOUSLY wrong with your build.
I love these reacts! I know it must be pretty fun and fairly easy compared to some other extremely complex videos you guys produce, so keep these coming!!
I laughed that way once in my life. When a vicious dog went for a cat and ended up falling down a flight of stairs, hit the floor to ceiling glass pane window on the landing and punched through it (multistory glass), and then fell a story to land in a koi pond. That’s basically all miners in a nutshell.
Yeah, the 5820k WAS the cheapest you could buy for x99, but it was also $380 new at the time. It was 6 cores in a time when most people were only buying quads. Super stable at high OC, support for quad channel. It was a fair bang for the buck in 2016, and upon building my alder lake build earlier this year, has since served as my primary server. Great CPU
This was really entertaining! I remember when Timmy Joe would do Kijiji/FB Marketplace ad reviews... his responses were as explosive/emotional/hilarious as Jake and Anthony... man, I miss that guy's content.
Drugs are bad mkay. He was a very entertaining creator, but unfortunately (or fortunately if it let him focus on real life) he had to get away from youtube to focus on himself.
the flow meter usage reminds me of my old nitro RC car days because I used to do a similar thing with inline fuel filters. They were like these little anodized couplers for the rubber fuel lines with a glass window and a small sponge filter and I thought they looked really cool but they restricted the flow of fuel too much and you would stall the engine at high revs. So I would just take the sponge out of the filter and have the inline filter on there just for looks hahaha
I have every computer I have ever owned, save the first 3 and I gave them away to the same guy. a Radio Shack Model 1 w/ expansion interface and 4 floppy drives, a commodore 64 and an Apple II+. OH all the software and computers filled a little ford SUV.
That sounds like my basement. This has worked out to my advantage because I was asked to fix an old system used to run an imagesetter, which is a high resolution laser printer that outputs to film for printing. Digging through my parts, I was able to find an old AT power supply and a replacement hard disk, which was a whopping 500 MB. The rest of the hardware, outside of the EISA motherboard and proprietary SCSI controller wasn't anything to write home about and included a '486 DX50, 1 MB RAM, and the old 3COM network card with the COAX connector on it. The scary part though was finding my MS-DOS and Windows 3.1 disks to install the software again because the system can't run on anything else. I eventually found them, and one disk was faulty, but I was able to recover it and continue the install.
Ok this is amazing. Haha, get wrecked! I've also been on the other end of it when I tried to sell my PC back in 2012 on Craigslist, I was offered a broken down motorcycle from one airhead and around 1/4 of it's actual approx value from another. Lol
Nothing wrong with someone making a low offer though. You can just ignore it. I've paid well under half of what people wanted before and there is nothing wrong with that
The reason they don't list a GPU for the Optiplex is because they don't know what's being used on-board. And it's a 3000 series, so it's not even the "high end" Optiplex. We use those at work for nurses to track medication or other items being given to patients...
This video is awesome! I love Anthony's reactions. It's a good thing I wasn't drinking any beverages when watching this, because I'd spit them on my keyboard if I were. Please do more of these types of videos. This was the funniest thing I've seen in a long time and made my day. 🤣
I put up my 3080 PC for $1800, and got multiple messages from people saying I was smoking crack to list a PC for that much. I added everything up at the time, and the individual parts were worth $2400 used, and the PC was in pretty much brand new condition.
11:35 "And then you can put the laptop in the backpack. Then you don't need the warranty." I would've thought there would be a ban on putting the word "backpack" and the phrase "don't need the warranty" so close together.
Probably because they don't care, anyone who whined about that whole debacle are just a bunch of Karens, wasn't an issue until GN made a big fuss about it. LMO said they stand behind their product, if someone needs it drawn in crayon to make them feel better they should just not buy the product.
@@frankyg2384 GN? Gamer's Nexus? I've been out of the loop on this one. What happened? I've seen the "trust me bro" memes, but I don't know the story behind that.
Also, are they claiming the backpack can prevent manufacturing defects in any third party laptop? Like, imagine someone buying their backpack and a laptop without a warranty, then their laptop breaks in any other way than physical damage, but one which would be covered by warranty, except they don't have the warranty on the laptop because the backpack was supposed to protect it? IANAL but this sounds like it could put LTT in deep trouble.
Am I the only one who pulls up this video who misses Anthony (now known as Emily)? I know this sounds unwoke, and not to discredit Emily on her transition, but this was in fact the last video I saw where Anthony legit was having fun. Still, love the content.
Maybe because a community that apparently liked her content constantly deadnames and misgenders her now...why would she now be keen to appear on camera?

They don't seem to understand that technology is the only sector in human society in the last 40 years that gets cheaper with each 2 years passing.
True. Only used computer I ever bought were serious retro. I bought a Tandy 1000 SX for $200, which is rare itself with 5.25 floppies lol. And also a Windows 98 retro machine lol
Other than that I only do new when it comes to gaming PCs.
Especially with laptops and gaming laptops in general. Like my god...They are completely different than desktops when it comes to value. Including the mentality of the value of them.
in my area they try to sell used gpus more expensive than brand new
Most used PC offers here in Germany are awful as well.
There is the occasional bargin, but generally speaking it's more expensive than buying new, which doesn't make any sense.
I recently upgraded a portion of my rig. I had no idea what my 2017 components were worth. So I looked up each item on eBay Canada, then knocked a few dollars off each item and posted it to my local Kijiji area.
Sold everything without issue within a couple weeks.
This is the way
"But the NOS Amazon listing had it listed for 200% over MSRP!"
You’d make a good merchant in RuneScape.
@@manfail7469 Six months ago when GPUs were through the roof!
You guys REALLY need to do scrap yard wars again. That was one of the best and most entertaining things LTT has ever made.
I second this. Linus said on the WAN show that they would only do it if they find a new approach. I personally would watch it if it's done every 6 months or so. I love the VFM aspect of it.
It was a big reason for getting me into my local used market. If they just compete for the best price/performance on a sub $500 that could make for something really interesting, especially if we know which benchmarks are ahead of time so you can do research on how to best win each category..
second this.
id love to see scapyard wars with Dawid does tech stuff, hes local Vancouver and i can already see him finding an AMAZING deal on a single 16gb stick of ram and having a stroke over deciding to go single channel or not.
A problem is, they are known faces. I think they could mentor community members to buy in and build it with them
I love the banter in this video, I love the style of how this is presented. I love seeing more unscripted features from these two. I will engage the algorithm if it means things like this keep happening.
Yes please engage the algorithm
I remember how I was upgrading to Ryzen 3300 from Phenom and thought to myself, - why don't I go on Kijiji and save me some cash. Worst idea ever... Couple days later I realised that not only will I spend a lot more time buying parts than in the store, but I will actually PAY MORE than the same peripherals cost NEW at the store. And not only that but I would have to deal with Mr. and Ms. "Attitude" throughout this already negative experience practically 2 out of 3 messages. From getting offended at asking for $20 reduction on an item that cost over $200 (when it clearly said "or best offer") to people raising prices when you get to their place "Oh this other guy called and he is willing to give me $40 more for this" highballing BS. On top of that - people disappearing for no apparent reason in the middle of conversation, people refusing to answer legitimate questions (or pretending they didn't read them), people NOT KNOWING WHICH CPU OR HOW MUCH RAM THE COMPUTER THEY'RE SELLING HAS (despite the ad being there for over 2 months)...etc. etc.
truest thing I've read all day
I've seen people selling "gaming computers" in my area that are:
- i3 4th gen
- gt710
- 8gb of ddr3
- 256gb SATA SSD
- $500 asking price
🤦
Let me guess, it got a lot of RGBs?
Actually, they all are listed with stock coolers and: a single RGB fan as an exhaust, or the front panel has a cheap 3-pack of 120mm RGB 😂
The amazing thing is, I've seen that exact same pairing about 10 times locally. Makes me think someone was clearing out a school's old inventory and trying to make a quick buck lol
@GH0STST4RSCR34M the reseller probably adds the RGB to make it a "gaming" PC.
@@bonniscootor lmao, well its definitely aimed for kids to beg their parents. They didn't know research after all, as long as its shiny they thought its good.
@GH0STST4RSCR34M That's the thing, they're all on Optiplex motherboards that have been transferred to a "gaming ATX case" (straight from the seller listing). Very odd CPU power sockets, absolutely no option to get a bigger or better GPU because of where the 24-pin connector is, and only a single PCIe slot.
9:43 Are we just gonna ignore the part that the CPU is 100Degrees and de GPU 90?
I can't believe they didn't pick up on that!
hold up yeah i noticed that but WH
100?!? yeah no that's seriously not even worth the money, i'd have to say the cooling is probabley fucked
Holy shit even my gaming laptop doesn't get that hot! WTF is up with their cooling?! 🤣
Wow good catch, that's absolutely horrible.
That thing basically roasted itself.
"We don't need controllers where we're going"
Best line lmao
True 😂
"because we have the inbuilt one"
Apart from the bit where Antony supervillain laughed at the dude selling the mining rig
Clearly that VR headset and PC where made for research 🧐🔬 purposes ….
🤨good old fashion “research”🍆💦🤷🏼♂️🤣 lmao
I mean we already got a built in joystick in us
Probably that’s why they are named “joy” stick
You found a decent number with specs at least. So many in my area don't give any specs beyond brand name and it's "super fast"
A number of people in my area are trying to sell what looks like HP Stream Laptops for $200-$300, when you can buy the new one in the store for $200.
It brings me joy how much joy Anthony got out of seeing that $20k mining rig
I have never once seen Anthony say one single thing I disagreed with. Like I can nitpick with anybody, I can nitpick Stallman, but Anythony none.
I also will never stop complaining about iGarbage after being subjected to them for years.
This is a nice offshoot to the roasting of set-up, especially considering that the used market has improved a decent bit thanks to the collapse of crypto-mining.
I'm using a Dell optiplex running Windows XP from 2005. I have the ultimate gaming rig.
@@georger5558 because Anthony is the old wise man and an elder statesman and has more knowledge in his pinky when it comes to computers then most people will ever have.
What's your gaming rig?
We need more of Jake and Anthony. They are an amazing combo and made this super entertaining
In a perfect world we' d bring back Berkel as the IDK though funny banter king.
Anthony is usually the more the level headed neutral presenters but I love how he's just bouncing off the wall in this video.
How is he going to bounce off of it, if he takes the wall?

Jake and Anthony should have their own show, the way they interact with each other is so funny
watching anthony and jake give their humorous and honest opinions derived from their advanced knowledge of most things computer related this was incredibly entertaining and hilarious lol, i really look forward to another installment of shopping on the bargain bin markets of the cyber network.
^_^
I have been wanting to buy a Radeon VII for years. Just to mess around with it, I like the HBM2 it has. Originally, it cost 800€ in Germany. Before this recent insanity, you could buy it used for 300-400€, a couple of years ago.
During the end of last year, those were 900 to 1500€, and now they still want to get 600-700€ for it. Even though there are now better GPUs available for much cheaper.
I got a VII at/near launch (partly paid for by my work) and yea its been great fun to play with HBM2 for compute, gaming performance is exactly what every reviewer found it to be though so anyone wanting more for it than like a 1080ti is bonkers to me.
@@admalledd Yeah, that’s what I thought. It is insane. And even though other cards are expensive as well, the VII is worse because apparently, it is pretty good for mining so naturally, prices are shit.
It is a cool GPU that has its advantages. Supposedly that HBM2 is good for Ryse as there's a stutter that can only be overcome with that gigantic bandwidth. If I collected GPUs like the 8800GT or 7970 or 980 Pro etc I would add a Radeon VII to that collection for sure.
Beware, Radeon VII failure rate is pretty high, and the failure is on the HBM chip itself, so it is not repairable on most cases.
It's probably past the point where it's getting more expensive again due to its age and it's special place in the lineup. I'm trying to get my hands on a cheap 9800 (Radeon, not geforce) and it's almost impossible.
They are THE dream team: Anthony is distilled Linux and Jake is distilled Canada.
11:15 I noticed that Framework laptops hold their value pretty well on eBay, and I can see serviceability being a big part of why.
Branding and scarcity also play a big part. Apple laptops are basically the opposite of framework from the consumer rights perspective and they also hold their value well.
@@Crusader1089 Sometimes used Framework laptops will sell for more than their MSRP though, and bidding wars ensue. The wait to get a new one from the next available production batch probably causes people who want one now to seek the used market out of convenience or necessity. Even with the 12th gen boards out now, you don't see many 11th gen boards sitting unsold for long because of the secondary use market Framework is intentionally cultivating.
Loved this so much. Anthony never fails to make me laugh out loud with his dry humour.
Jake and Anthony have incredible chemistry together
Can confirm, 5950X idles at about 45C under a decent 360 AIO; up to about 60C gaming and moderate usage, 75C heavy usage.
can confirm, 5800x does the same thing
Love when Anthony is hosting the video, I know it’s gonna be some of my favorite content 😁
Great seeing him take the piss out of the mining rig. 😂
@@Outland9000 that was prob my fav line in the vid lmao
What a coincidence lol. I Just posted my R5 3600 (wraith cooler included), X570 tuf gaming plus wifi, and G skill trident Z royal 2x8 16gb 3200 Cl16 for $300 all together last night. I was just checking out similar offers for sale and people were literally listing R5 3600's for $200 all over the place... Literally the original launch price saying "no low balls". Don't even get me started on GPU's lol some people still have them listed for what they were going for a year ago. I love browsing FB marketplace and seeing the most ridiculous offers lol.
FB market is a fu* all scam. i literally have dodgy listing with "lust sells so what" weird photo at literal $1 (what?), which is followed by at least 30+ similar crap...
Man, every now and then, there's always someone asking that much for a 6th gen i7.
alot pepole just list i3 for 1k$ where i live and pepole still fall for it its just stupid that only scammers sell while good pcs never get sold
The thing is that overpriced listings work. I spend very little for upgrading my PC, because I always find someone willing to pay oddly high prices for my old stuff. The buyers either seem extremely ignorant or they know that they are overpaying, but want this exact SKU and nothing else for some odd reason. Like their old motherboard died and they want the exact same board, because... reasons I guess.
I guess the "greater-fool-theory" is VERY strong in the used computer field 🤣
Will people get fooled more than once. I still think back to being all excited about a 15" LG LCD monitor rduced from £1000 to £650. In the end I waited a couple of years and got a 22" for £200.
That second one was CLEARLY bought just to rip the GPU out of it the freaking PC is a pre built OEM and has RGB and a tempered glass side panel AND the GPU is a GT710. Which OEM in their right mind would put a GT710 in an RGB tempered glass PC that has an i7 processor
You'd be surprised. I've actually seen a lot of prebuilts like that, they figure most people getting into PC gaming don't know better and they aren't wrong.
8:50 gigachad Anthony moment 🤣
This is such a joy to all gamers who were denied of their GPU during the chip shortage
I'd love to see more of this series from Anthony and Jake.

I don't think I've ever felt happier than hearing Jake's "I like this side of Anthony" and I'm right along side! Goddamn that was PERFECT
Here I am watching people make fun of PCs worth hundreds of dollars and I'm sitting here with my gtx970

I always have fun looking at used computers and prices it can give a person hours of entertainment if you realize what real value is and the prices people ask. I don't think some of these people realize what depreciation is.
Jake and Anthony are a solid team! We need more of these two together!
Is it possible for Jake to host that roasting setup episodes everytime? I love his unique knowledge of a large piece of every field, which is fascinating if you consider his age. 😂 It was 19 y.o. iirc (someone mentioned it in a recent video with him, could be 20, 21 or 22... something around this). 😁 Truely passionated 🙏🏻
"You're better off buying a new laptop and an LTT store backpack, then you don't need the warranty!" lol Jake noooo
Very poor choice of words 🤣
11:33 "... buy an LLT store backpack... then you don't need the warranty..." Oh no~
16:20 he 100% either stole it or took it from his son
Jake and Anthony is the team-up I didn't know I needed
Jake & Anthony need to do stuff like this way more often, great synergy!!!
Anthony is Emily now.
9:43 Is his CPU sitting at 100C with a 90C GPU, or is he running his temp readout in F? lol
LOL good catch, has to be F right? like 100 degrees would make sense with inadequate or improperly mounted cooling but it has some kind of NZXT water cooler and given the water temps it's dissipating heat from the CPU, but what kind of 5900x even puts out enough power to heat the water in a radiator to 82 degrees celsius?!
It must be Fahrenheit temps just after startup, which would be about 38 C on the CPU, otherwise that shit would be melting
I have 128GB in my gaming system but I host a large ark cluster on my pc 24/7 and have had up to 96GB usage before in my daily normal use. I agree most people don't need it but why are they crapping on 128GB of ram so hard lol. Either way keep up the great content guys!
My thoughts exactly!! The prices, the paired components, fine... But i wouldn't buy or build anything with less than 128GB RAM for what I do... It's 100% crucial (but not Crucial, just necessary).
Same. I build machines for my production company, and 128 GB is standard, but we’re doing things like AI upscaling and huge file renders and usually still have lots left over. I cannot fathom why anyone would need over 32 in a gaming machine. Even that is overkill really.
@@brandonwilson3507 considering how technology evolves and software demands are ever growing, this statement isn’t likely to age well. It’s like that quote attributed to Bill Gates where he is alleged to have said that “640KB out to be enough for anybody”. LTT even did a video recently suggesting that both the system architecture and the games themselves are starting to utilize more memory than they have before. And if you want to be able to game at high resolutions while simultaneously running Chrome, Discord, OBS/Twitch and other popular streaming apps which can use up a good chunk of memory, then having some “head room” isn’t a terrible idea. If you’ve ever encountered a memory leak in a game or any other application, then it’s also better to have more free memory available to delay the inevitable crash. (Not the best use case, but it’s happened to me, so I’m sure others have experienced this before.) Note: Still, that being said, 128GB is overkill for 99% of the gaming population.
Honestly I think they were crapping on it under the assumption that these guys put 128GB of ram in their rigs for no other reason other than to max out their specs, despite never having any need for even half of it. Based on the way a lot of the systems were built and listed I don't blame them for the assumption lol.
@@PsiliPharm2012 I actually don’t think most of the gaming population will need much more than 64GB even on the highest levels ever. As system architecture gets better and more integrated, and memory speeds from SSD’s and their successor technologies advances, not to mention cloud gaming, high system RAM may become more of a thing for specialists. I can foresee a future where memory and network latency are bigger impacts, along with the CPU’s ability to decode and run dedicated processes.
These 2 make an amazing duo 🤣 10 outta 10 would watch more episodes of this, absolutely!
Anthony sticking up for the gamers make the name proud my man!
Anthony you are the brightest light in LTT freaking love every video keep on keeping on
"Can run light-mid games"
For 2300$ mind you.
If that is the highest you can go, "mid games", and you pay 2300$ something is SERIOUSLY wrong with your build.
My MB integrated graphics can run mid games 😆
I love these reacts! I know it must be pretty fun and fairly easy compared to some other extremely complex videos you guys produce, so keep these coming!!
Nothing gives me as much life as Anthony laughing at miners losing money 8:43
Kinda sad at the same time knows his lifespan is a lot shorter while he’s obese
I laughed that way once in my life. When a vicious dog went for a cat and ended up falling down a flight of stairs, hit the floor to ceiling glass pane window on the landing and punched through it (multistory glass), and then fell a story to land in a koi pond. That’s basically all miners in a nutshell.
I love sassy Anthony. Way better than serious Anthony. Do more of these. "I like this side of Anthony" at 9:00 is so true.
Yeah, the 5820k WAS the cheapest you could buy for x99, but it was also $380 new at the time. It was 6 cores in a time when most people were only buying quads. Super stable at high OC, support for quad channel. It was a fair bang for the buck in 2016, and upon building my alder lake build earlier this year, has since served as my primary server. Great CPU
Safe to say we want some more of "PC for sale" roasts! :D This was great fun! Thank You!
This was really entertaining! I remember when Timmy Joe would do Kijiji/FB Marketplace ad reviews... his responses were as explosive/emotional/hilarious as Jake and Anthony... man, I miss that guy's content.
Drugs are bad mkay. He was a very entertaining creator, but unfortunately (or fortunately if it let him focus on real life) he had to get away from youtube to focus on himself.
The synergy of banter between Anthony and Jake is like the absolute, love you guys!
roasting those adds is like roasting people who invested in Doge and Shiba and now are saying "doge is the future, you should buy it too!"
the flow meter usage reminds me of my old nitro RC car days because I used to do a similar thing with inline fuel filters. They were like these little anodized couplers for the rubber fuel lines with a glass window and a small sponge filter and I thought they looked really cool but they restricted the flow of fuel too much and you would stall the engine at high revs. So I would just take the sponge out of the filter and have the inline filter on there just for looks hahaha
Love this series! Saying all the things I think when browsing the web for computers
I have every computer I have ever owned, save the first 3 and I gave them away to the same guy. a Radio Shack Model 1 w/ expansion interface and 4 floppy drives, a commodore 64 and an Apple II+. OH all the software and computers filled a little ford SUV.
That sounds like my basement. This has worked out to my advantage because I was asked to fix an old system used to run an imagesetter, which is a high resolution laser printer that outputs to film for printing. Digging through my parts, I was able to find an old AT power supply and a replacement hard disk, which was a whopping 500 MB.
The rest of the hardware, outside of the EISA motherboard and proprietary SCSI controller wasn't anything to write home about and included a '486 DX50, 1 MB RAM, and the old 3COM network card with the COAX connector on it.
The scary part though was finding my MS-DOS and Windows 3.1 disks to install the software again because the system can't run on anything else. I eventually found them, and one disk was faulty, but I was able to recover it and continue the install.
Ok this is amazing. Haha, get wrecked! I've also been on the other end of it when I tried to sell my PC back in 2012 on Craigslist, I was offered a broken down motorcycle from one airhead and around 1/4 of it's actual approx value from another. Lol
Nothing wrong with someone making a low offer though. You can just ignore it. I've paid well under half of what people wanted before and there is nothing wrong with that
@@Gl-my8fw nothing is wrong with it until a kid comes to offer 200$ for a 1000$ pc and then gets mad because you ignore him
The reason they don't list a GPU for the Optiplex is because they don't know what's being used on-board. And it's a 3000 series, so it's not even the "high end" Optiplex.
We use those at work for nurses to track medication or other items being given to patients...
This video is awesome! I love Anthony's reactions. It's a good thing I wasn't drinking any beverages when watching this, because I'd spit them on my keyboard if I were.
Please do more of these types of videos. This was the funniest thing I've seen in a long time and made my day. 🤣
This was brilliant. Oh yeah, I always use a third mouse for my third hand....must have been great fun
Videos like this one and the Free Geek scrapyard wars make me glad that organizations like that are around: some of these sellers are just delusional.

Hope we'll sometimes get videos like this in the future. Love the wacky builds and the commentary. Fun and actually somewhat educational.
I put up my 3080 PC for $1800, and got multiple messages from people saying I was smoking crack to list a PC for that much. I added everything up at the time, and the individual parts were worth $2400 used, and the PC was in pretty much brand new condition.

"And then you can put the laptop in the backpack. Then you don't need the warranty."
I would've thought there would be a ban on putting the word "backpack" and the phrase "don't need the warranty" so close together.
Probably because they don't care, anyone who whined about that whole debacle are just a bunch of Karens, wasn't an issue until GN made a big fuss about it. LMO said they stand behind their product, if someone needs it drawn in crayon to make them feel better they should just not buy the product.
@@frankyg2384 GN? Gamer's Nexus? I've been out of the loop on this one. What happened? I've seen the "trust me bro" memes, but I don't know the story behind that.
Also, are they claiming the backpack can prevent manufacturing defects in any third party laptop? Like, imagine someone buying their backpack and a laptop without a warranty, then their laptop breaks in any other way than physical damage, but one which would be covered by warranty, except they don't have the warranty on the laptop because the backpack was supposed to protect it? IANAL but this sounds like it could put LTT in deep trouble.
Lol, 150 for the steam controller is hilarious. I bought one of those at the end of their life for $20.
