So i built a gaming PC like 2 years ago

I wish i had the specs on hand but Im on a business trip and not at home (thats why im writing this)

I was always a laptop gamer, but when covid struck i decided to build my own PC (with the help of an experienced friend)

Now that im traveling for work again, I think i need to go back to a gaming PC.

I dont need a gaming pc, a gaming laptop, and a full work set up at home (4 monitors for work alone)

So im considering selling my PC in order to cover some of the cost of the gaming laptop.

Is there a way/place to sell gaming PCS? Is craigslist/facebook marketplace my best bet? Or should i give up on this idea and just count it as a loss?

Its not a UBER machine. I think i built it for around 1,400

MSI i5 quad core
rx 500
ddr4 16gb
100w power supply
liquid cooling

i forget other specs, and those honestly might not be 100% accurate

it's actually clear to anyone not being purposefully obtuse what he is saying, what's wrong?


facebook marketplace is probably your best bet, reddit's hardwareswap or ebay would be good as well but shipping something like that can be a nightmare if something goes wrong.

I agree plznonova but make sure you put it 15-20% higher than you want to sell it for. Sometimes people will overpay and grab it and if not 99% of the time people haggle there. I sold a Gtx560 for $50
