For — practical, step‑by‑step prep so the machines sell cleanly and for the best realistic price. ’s point about valuing parts individually is a good starting idea, and the jokey lowballers like are reminders to document everything so offers can be judged fairly. The checklist below fills in the testing, data and listing gaps not yet covered.

Prep & test (do these before any sale)

  1. Create an inventory spreadsheet: item name, maker/model, serial, tested (Y/N), test notes, cosmetic rating, accessories included, photo filenames.
  2. Data security: back up important files, then securely erase or remove hard drives. If unsure, remove drives and sell systems “without storage.” Keep a log of wipes or removals.
  3. Basic functional checks: power on and note POST/BIOS, run a memory tester, run vendor HDD diagnostics, verify video output and optical drive read/write, listen for bearing noise. Record short photos/videos that prove the system boots.
  4. Liquid cooling caution: if a system used liquid cooling, document any fittings, stains or residue. Drain and clean if selling to a general buyer, or disclose clearly — leaking or corroded loops reduce value.

Photos, description and packaging

  • Photographs: exterior front/back, interior with side panel off, close‑ups of model/serial stickers, any damage, and a photo of the unit showing a powered boot screen. Use good lighting and a plain background.
  • Description: be explicit about condition, tests performed, included cables/software, and whether storage is wiped or removed. Honesty reduces returns and disputes.
  • Packing: remove fragile/heavy bits if possible, wrap in anti‑static, double‑box and insure for transit.

Selling strategy & safety

  • Compare current used listings on marketplaces and local classifieds to set prices, allow negotiation room, and prefer local pickup for whole systems.
  • Require secure payment, keep test logs/photos for buyer questions, and never ship a drive that may contain personal data.

Best thing to do is to take each individual part, and price it out using a site like www.newegg.com. Total that up, and then figure you're only going to get about 60%-70% of what it's worth brand new, if that. Then, you can post it on a place like eBay.

Or, if that fails, I'll give you $20 for the whole lot. I'll even come and pick it up. :)

(joking, unless you really want to sell them to me for $20!)

I'll bid $25.00 and send my cute sister to pick it up.:cheesy:
