How much do you guys think I could sell my rig for?
I am looking to go PCIE with an AMD64 3700 and either a X1800XL or 7800GT. Any way I want to know how much I could make off this is I were to Ebay it or what you guys think my parts would sell at.
By parts I mean Proc, Mobo, and Video Card.
 
I'm gonna say somewhere around $500 or more but I'm just guessing I have no idea.

The PC in his sig? Between the Processor, mobo and video card - $250 - $275ish?
 
Thanks man and I know its just an estimate but anything will help.
I looked on Ebay and they have X800XTs selling at 200 most of the time and AMD Athlon 3200 XPs and 150 which is dissapointing but understandable. The MOBO is what I am most curious about.
 
Personally I consider used parts to be valued at about half of their current retail price. Being some of those parts are hard to get these days, I'd go between 50-75 of the cost. Id say between 200 - 250.

Anyone who spends 200 on a used video card from ebay is crazy. And you can buy a badass s939 CPU these days for 150.

I FIgured it like this:

CPU - $80
Mobo - $50
Card - The Rest
 
True but looking at the run of the mill cost of these items on Ebay i am looking to milk my hardware for what its worth. They all work fine and the X800XT has a Zalman on it which is sure to fetch some more money. I get what you mean though in order to stay competitive I am going to price my hardware lower than others bid wise. I just wonder how I ship a CPU and a Video card when I have none of the original boxing. I will sell them as used products with out the retail box of course on Ebay but do you guys know how to go about packaging sensitive hardware like a CPU or GPU?
