Hi, all its been a long time since I've posted regularly here. This time I'm selling my motherboard/proc. and videocard. But I don't know what they would sell for in the For Sale section. Can someone tell me a good starting point to put these up as? I really really need to get these sold before my birthday Oct. 15 because I want to buy a mobo with the money. (I know how to use google, I just don't know what ppl pay)

1. ABit NF7/AthlonXP 2800+ (Stock cooler, needs replacing, runs at about 43C overclocked with my cooling)
2. GeforceFX5900XT 128MB AGP8x (all stock, perfect condition.)

I do have pics but since this isn't my for sale thread I won't post them.
 
check the price on reputable resellers like Newegg for example on the products you're trying to sell.

Then post a sale price of about 20% - 50% less than the going retail price.

Good luck.
 
This is what I came up with:

Mobo/Proc - $110
VC - $115

Is that a good price for those items?
 
for the video card I'd say $75-$90, people have been selling 9800pros for under $85 in the fs forum which will out perforum an fx card
 
Not sure where you got the VC price from, on eBay the cards sold for some $60 in the past few weeks. Check "completed auctions".

Click to expand...

Lower your VC to $100 and you're good to go.

People sold 9800 Pro for under $85 and other had sold that card for $100 or $110.

Anyhow, that mobo combo of $100 and VC of $100 will be a good starting point. People that are interested will probably low ball you another $10 - $20 ... that's up to you.

Bottom line, there's no "RIGHT" price for anything. If you want, you can always put something like OBO (Or Best Offer) or "Prices are negotiable" in your post.

Hope this helps.
 
I'm going to be putting this money towards this upgrade please critique it. (BF2 machine)
1. Athlon64 3200+
2. DFI Ultra-D (money goes here)
3. 7800GT
4. Another gb of OCZ GoldVX

or

1. Athlon64 X2 3800+
2. DFI Ultra-D
3. 7800GT
 
If the main purpose of this new machine is for gaming, the first set up will be more than enough to fill your appetite.

The second machine will be good as an over-all machine but more geared towards multi-tasking CPU heavy applications (video/audio encoding etc.).

But since you stated it's a BF2 Machine, I suggest the first system to be your choice.
 
I'm getting really nervous that I won't be able to sell this stuff in 1 week to be on time for my birthday, so I have a backup plan that is to upgrade my AGP video card. BUT, I don't know how far I can go till it bottlenecks. Say if I slap a 6800GT AGP in my system now crank it up to 2.3GHz would it still be comparable to the A643200+, and will it even run at near full potential?
 
Your system as of now should be completely capable of utilitizing the full capacity of a 6800GT AGP.
