His PC Isn’t Selling. Let’s Help!
So, you’ve finally finished building your dream PC. You’ve spent countless hours researching and selecting the best components, carefully putting them all together with precision and care. But, despite all your hard work, your PC just isn’t selling. It can be frustrating to have put so much effort into something only for it to not gain the attention it deserves. But, don’t worry, there are steps you can take to help your PC sell.
First, take a step back and evaluate your marketing strategy. Are you reaching the right audience? Have you effectively utilized social media and other online platforms to showcase your PC? Consider creating a dedicated website or social media page to highlight the features and benefits of your PC. Utilize high-quality images and detailed product descriptions to entice potential buyers.
Next, consider the price of your PC. Are you pricing it competitively based on its specifications and performance? Research the current market for similar PCs and adjust your price accordingly. You may need to offer competitive pricing to attract buyers, especially if the PC market is saturated with similar products.
In addition, consider offering incentives to potential buyers. Include free shipping or a warranty with the purchase to sweeten the deal. You could also offer customizations or upgrades to the PC to make it more appealing to buyers. Adding value to your product can help it stand out in a crowded market.
Furthermore, consider reaching out to potential buyers directly. Engage with online communities and forums related to PC building and gaming to promote your product. You can also consider reaching out to influencers or tech reviewers to feature your PC in their content. A positive review or endorsement from a trusted source can do wonders for boosting the visibility and credibility of your PC.
Lastly, don’t be afraid to seek feedback from potential buyers or those who have shown interest in your PC. Constructive criticism can help you improve your marketing strategy or make adjustments to the PC itself. Take note of any recurring feedback and work on addressing those concerns.
Building and selling a PC can be a challenging process, but with the right approach and strategy, you can increase the chances of your PC finding a buyer. By evaluating your marketing strategy, adjusting the price, offering incentives, and seeking feedback, you can help your PC stand out in a competitive market. Don’t give up – with perseverance and the right tactics, your dream PC can find its rightful owner.

"PC was only used by an old lady, and only on Sundays, right before Church"
well craigslist traffic sucks and doesnt get u a sale.. thats the first thing…
"barely used"
"never overclocked"
Good video. I just disagree about selling for cost or lower. I mean if you're trying to be charitable, really need the cash quick, or your market is truly terrible, then sure, you might have to consider that. But if none of those apply, I definitely think you should add some kind of mark up for the fact that its an assembled PC. A lot of people that are browsing through listings like this are people that have absolutely no desire to build their own rig. I realize for someone like you, the value of assembly is negligible at best. But for a lot of people that have zero interest in building a PC for whatever reason, the assembly is quite valuable. They're simply not gong to seek out parts and build their own PC.
So I don't think I would have recommended going from 850 straight down to cost at 710 here. I'd probably recommend browsing the listings on the sites he's using to sell the PC, and seeing what the price ranges are for comparable builds. And then adjusting his price down accordingly to seem more attractive.
What I disagree with Greg on is that he compares what he can buy and build individual parts for. But the person buying this way is not building.
What are the reasons that it's better to buy storage new instead of used or what videos are they in?
So if all the parts cost $710 approx then for a pc builder to compile these components and then sell to a buyer one would think making $140 profit would seem reasonable. I thought his target market would be a novice pc user not an experienced builder like yourself? You mentioned the cpu being old. I mean he could upgrade the part. Slightly increase the price maybe along with a newer looking case. And sell off the older cpu and case individually would be my recommendation

Did the viewer ever sell this pc lol
I don't know how buying and selling pcs for profit works
Don't forget that Ebay will rape you with fees.
I have my I7 9700k, RTX 2060 OC 6Gb, 64Gb Ballistix 3200 rgb ram (4x 16Gb), 150Gb SSD, 250Gb SSD, 1Tb external SSD, 600w PSU alone with the G512 RGB keyboard, and G502 Hero mouse. Ive remade it on newegg and it came to $1600 for just the cpu, gpu, motherboard, and ram, using all the lowest options. So I listed it on FB for $1300 local pickup and got bumbarded with comments saying Im over charging for the system and that a better one could be built for my asking price, So I lowered it to $1,000 stopped getting comments but still not selling, so I guess I dont know what im doing lol.
I really need to Sell my pc to buy a new one
No one (except Greg) is going to judge you. I bet his missus is no stranger to criticism!
I have a very good pc and cheap I really need to sell it because my car needs to get fixed and cant get to work , I'm asking 1200$ for it , specs are 5700xt raw2 8gb ryzen 7 3800x it has a b450 gigabyte board 256gb ssd , 1ter hd, 16gb of corsair ram, aio cooler master, corsair 1200AX psu.and a nzxt white case, I have it on Facebook market and all components are new except the gpu which I only used for a few months, I really need help selling it , so I can fix my car .
rgb is stupid
It's not overpriced, the seller has to pay fees and postage, and inflation and tariffs has risen the price of computer components, you're just a cheapskate.
Watching this almost 2 years after this was posted and When he said the 1070 goes for 200$ I literally laughed out loud. That same graphics card now sells anywhere from 400-650$. What a crazy time we are living in.
if you’re interested i would love you to do another one of these videos with my system.. i’m kinda stuck
$850 is a great price for that PC. It would be in 2021, at least.
well you did say $710 usd so if you add the cost of someone building a pc for you that is $100usd so $810USD for this pc is a good price still
9:25
god watching these prices in 2021 is wild lol
what info do i need to put when selling my pc? and how do i get it?
Disregard Greg's first statement about the title's redundancy. On CL, you need to understand what potential buyers are searching for, especially with the "search titles only" option on craigslist. I've sold around 25 cars and 10 PC's using CL/FB, and in my experience, the search-terms he should add to the title is 'Nvidia', 'Intel', and the amount of memory and storage capacity/type.
So much for those prices
I just built a computer and spent about CAD $1600 after tax and listed for $1700 and wont sell am I asking for too much? The following is my build:
-MOBO: ASUS TUF GAMING X570 – PLUS (WI-FI)
-CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
-CPU COOLER: AMD Wraith Prism
-GPU: MSI 980Ti
-RAM: CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB PRO (32GB @3200MHZ)
-SSD: 500GB Samsung EVO Plus M.2 NVMe
-PSU: EVGA 850W GQ + GOLD
-CASE: NZXT H510
But greg, if I want to make a profit, 700 is nothing, less than that is a loss. Your giving the customer benefit by spending your labour for their enjoyment. You need some profit at least, maybe even 50 bucks. 850 in that scenerio seems reasonsable because you can make money, yeah I can build something with that money, but if you sell it, you sell it for more than you paid for it.
Thank you man I just how windows 10 pro for 15 bucks
So hes gonna critisize him him for taking weird pics of his pc but noone will critisize this guy for taking a pic of nzxt logo like 20 times ? And those weird angles like ur making some kind of a movie
Rule of thumb is to normally ask for 100 more then what you want for it; mainly to allow someone to haggle you down
"you can find 16gb for around $50"
I love living in Australia. $120 for 16gb. $50 USD = ~$70 AUD.
I wonder how many people he has called out in a video are also subscribers to his channel?
do you know if he sold the PC?
Of course all about the fuckin ryzen
No one:
Me:When he said when have I ever seen a cpu die and I died a lil inside cuz my pc died changed everything except cpu checked everything to God there's nothing else I hadn't changed and it won't even give me any post turn on then off then on and stays on I can't find sh*t on it and as said before the CPU is the only thing I haven't changed sooooo… That's a longs story short on why I died a bit Inside
(Thanks for reading if u did)
RGB – 999 fps
I bought a windows key from scd key last year and it didnt work. Rip.
Stick to the technical fact's advertise tested with date's and ability to prove it, add warrenty info if applicable and make sure part's are at least $50% lower then same parts brand new e.g. gfx card I payed $600 3 odd yrs ago, automatically knock off half now check current market brand new oh the cards are selling for $250 best price well guess what you're now selling yours for at least $150 if it's less then $50 difference unless old tech i'd rather buy brand new get warrenty etc; remember you're trying to recoup loss not make profit the longer you can't sell something the lower the price get's you want to give people a good enough deal that they feel validated and you can move the product quickly. don't be a tight arse/greedy and be prepard to haggle.
They listed it for $850 because if he listed it for under $700 then people would low ball him and people would ask for over $100 of the asking price. So if he list it for $850 then he will get reasonable offers
It hurts every time someone says 6th gen or 1070 is old, because I'm still running a i5 4690k with a 1070ti.
I really want Ryzen. I need them extra cores for video processing on my plex server and faster memory because I feel as though my SSD is being bottlenecked by my 1600mhz DDR3.
I got my first PC used off the Facebook Marketplace that had close to these specs. I7 6700K, GTX 1070, 16GB ram at base clock DDR4, 250GB SSD , 2TB HDD, and an AIO cooler for just $500.The motherboard has RGB as well as the RAM and GPU. I believe the motherboard is a Z2970 E or something like that. The guy also threw in a 60hz HP IPS monitor too. Can't beat that honestly. This video made me think of my first PC purchase.
weird, I actually saw this listing. Think i even messaged the guy about just selling the GPU hahah
