I'll start looking for one, thanks for the recommendation!

Yeah at the time when I made this video that was all still completely unknown for the most part. Still can't believe something on that wide of a scale happened. Thank you again for the support and your comments on the whole series

I have two tables which I work on top of, and I very tightly manage the space beneath them so that most of my parts fit there. All of my cases and completed builds are lined up stacked against the wall in my basement and anything else that doesn’t fit goes in my personal closet.

@@JackPCBuilds do you have a spreadsheet or anything to manage it

Yes, nothing particularly organized as I wouldn’t personally need a bunch of different categories so I just put everything on a big long list sorted by purchase date with all of the other stats and then mark once something’s been used in a build already. And use ctrl f to find whatever I’m looking for.

most cpus are always under the price I see in the US

What country?

Thank you, keep in mind when looking that the reason I’ve gotten higher than average profit on some of these is because of really good deals, for example some of those cases I used, I was able to get for crazy low prices of like 20 or 30 dollars. Make sure you look for deals and get your parts for below market value or it will be tough to do the same. If you are going to start, now is definitely the time because we are entering the holiday season which is generally the best time of year by far. Good luck!

Any recomendations for picture angels, i have a s24 ultra but i dont know whats the best colours and angels!

Thanks! For pictures, honestly just try to copy the angle of what mine look like as best as you can for now. I am making a full guide to taking pictures next, so I would say to look forward to that for a much much more detailed answer.

Well I’m doing it at a large enough scale to pass the threshold where I’m now supposed to report it (which is not that much). Even though it’s cash transactions and such I don’t want to risk getting in trouble or set a bad record.

Hey, thanks! I don’t know if you’ve bought it already since I’m a little late to reply but if you like the way the case looks then I’d say go for it. It’s a very premium case and although I’ve never paired the two of those together myself I would expect that they would look great together. You could try searching for a build on pcpartpicker with similar parts and see if there’s someone who has done something similar in the past. And I hear you on icue, it can be annoying sometimes.

@@JackPCBuilds thx for getting back with me. And I’ll check into tht. Yeah man icue is terrible. I see now most of the high end fans and cases aren’t very good lol.

Honestly I don’t even have one anymore. I started out doing it to learn about hardware, then I did it for money as like a high school job kind of thing. And now I’m just kind of doing it on a lower scale but making the youtube videos as well. I’m not saving up the profits of flipping for anything in particular (like most people’s series) if that is what you mean.

👍

Thank you

Thanks lol

Good to be back, thank you!

Thank you!

Appreciate it, thank you

Yeah it was definitely a weird situation, still don’t exactly know what specifically was going on but at least it’s gone now. I like what you said about using a computer as a daily driver for a little bit to get the experience on it, I’ve found things in the past by doing that which I wouldn’t have caught otherwise. I also for sure agree with you on the october-december window. Looking into microphones now, didn’t realize it would be so cheap to get one. Thanks!

@@JackPCBuilds Your Welcome Brother =)

She only cares about me when it’s time to eat bro it’s sad

me

Thanks!

Hi, great to hear! Not to give generic advice but it does really just depend on where you live. In my area that kind of build would sell for right about $1000 if it's got good aesthetics and nothing wrong with it. But I know in other countries PC parts can be far more expensive so it all depends on where you're at and what other options people near you would be looking at (your competition). You'll also likely have much more interest and much better luck selling it once November/December comes around, so keep that in mind too and be patient. For other advice, find every possible way to make yourself stand out. Just go above and beyond. Get good pictures, make sure to appear (and be) trustworthy throughout your description and responses to inquiries. Provide support if they have any questions and give a straightforward negotiation and sale process. And if there's anything else you can think of to stand out from the competition, then do that.

Thank you

Yep, it's fun for sure!

Hard to come up with an exact number, I started out with around $700, added another thousand a little later and then just continuously reinvested everything with each build and worked my way up from there.

I bought it open-box on a 3rd-party auction with no warranty - damages like that are rather common. But I got it for a small fraction of retail and it's now being used in my friend's personal build so it still went to good use. Thanks though!

Yeah I actually strategically list them in an area that's pretty far away from where I actually live just because it's got significantly more population density, higher avg income, but low crime. Not sure if that ACTUALLY does anything but it's worth mentioning. Always of course do what works best for you.

Thank you. And, I'm not really doing this seriously enough to be at that level yet, but thanks for the offer

Honestly everyone's been feeling that recently. I'm experiencing super long sale times as well and so are many others. I'd say it's likely just the time of year and if things follow the normal pattern you can probably expect it to pick up here going into the holiday season.

Thanks for the info, but I also had a pc listed in november last year and it still sold a day before christmas. My bet would be that people are just scared of being scammed by a private seller. Also what wold you concider a super long sale time in your case?

​@@RoXxD7512 Super long sale time being 1-2 months on the $1K+ range recently. Whereas before (February-May) it was more like 2-4 weeks average for the same performance tier. (and those builds were costing me/selling for about ~$200 more back then than they do right now as well) However, seemingly out of nowhere I sold 2 computers for $1150 and $1050 last week (which were at lower profit than my target, but this was after getting zero interest for an entire month) I would say you're correct in the analysis. Here is another thing I have definitely found a pattern in: On the cheaper builds, I will get tons and tons of clicks and messages. But maybe only 10% of those messages actually commit. And of the ones who do commit, 50% of them change their mind the next day. On the expensive builds, I'll literally go an entire month with only 100 clicks and zero messages. Not even one message. But then seemingly out of nowhere someone randomly messages and says something like "Hey, I want to buy this, I have the cash, I can meet today, where are you located?" And then I sell it that same day. Because the people who are actually willing to go and drop that much money on a computer with no warranty from some random guy, actually usually do their research and know what they're getting BEFORE they even reach out. They've already weighed out all the options between my offering and the competition. And when they do reach out, they've already come to the decision that they want it, and they've also probably been thinking about it for a few days, so they've already got the money in hand. Versus if someone's looking at a $400 computer, they are probably talking to 6 other people about similar computers and making decisions as they go since it's not as big of a decision or a risk. Yes that was an essay but I don't know a shorter way to explain that concept.

@@JackPCBuilds Yeah that's exactly what I'm dealing with as well. Any pc over 1200Pln ($300) and the only interest is a couple of people bookmark it for later and it stays up like this for a month or two. Kind of relieved I'm not the only one with this problem. Thanks for your time and best of luck to you🙏

Hey, cool to hear! It all comes down to your own personal experience to be honest. Myself and many others struggle to sell PCs with amd cards, so I’d typically recommend just going with nvidia unless you get a really good deal. But if you find more success with them where you are then go with whatever works for you.

👍

Yeah, I bought it something like a year ago for $47 on ebay and it passed PSU tests and everything (still does) but that doesn’t always tell the whole story as shown here.

That’s a long time, wow. Good to hear it works in places outside of the US too.

Thanks! And nice, I do get what you’re saying about how some markets it just wouldn’t work the same as others. Definitely do whatever you find works best in your own market and just stick with that.

Got it, thanks for the info / correction.

Yeah I at one point tested it in a 4000D wwhich is a larger case, with all fans, and it peaked at like 96 or something Assuming fans below the card would be even better

@@JackPCBuilds yeah the fans i put in were the ones at the bottom

Nice, obviously I’ve got no experience with hardware that old but I’m sure it was a much different experience

Thank you
