Yep. This is why I exclusively sell locally with no shipping. I will not open up the can of worms of shipping and running the risk of things getting damaged by a careless FedEx/UPS/USPS/DHL/whatever driver during transport, with pissed off customers as a result. The customer will turn their anger on me, not on FedEx.
Same, I do not do shipping. And as long as you make sure to meet people during the day in a populated area or a police department you won’t have a issue with getting robbed
@@ZackSNetwork No, never. I have not even had any experiences where I felt like something might go down. I've had shady people message me about computers I've had up for sale though, but I always trust my gut feeling: when someone seems shady I simply won't make a deal with them. Usually they're not shady in a way that makes me think they might rob me, but rather that they will try to scam me or try to trade counterfeit or stolen items for the PC.
Here is a sample of a description I have been using. I have been using this description for quite a while for my more budget $500-$600 builds: Freshly-Built Gaming PC up for sale. This computer is great for gaming at High-FPS. It is also great for officework, school work, and productivity.

Good video! I spent the summer when I was on college break flipping PCs when I wasn't working my overnight job 10pm-7am. Always look for bundle deals or full builds, part them out and find the best configuration for the parts I have. At the end my main goal was hooking people up with a quality PC for a fair price.
The tip about smudges on camera lens is overlooked so much. I literally clean my camera lens before any picture and my photo quality has improved greatly. Great video! What do you use for pricing? Like how do you judge if you’re getting a good deal on certain parts.
I was going to make a full video on that in the future but now a days I just know off hand what the value of most things are because I have been doing this a long time but when I first started out I would always reference eBay for pricing, usually the used parts on eBay are the general standard for how much parts go for and if you can get a deal on marketplace for less then the cheapest one you can find on eBay then you are already on your way to making money in the computer
Over here in the UK, people want a £500 build for £250! Nobody wants to pay any more than £300 for a gaming PC, I've tried building a decent rig, listed it for £650 (£75 profit in that) and had it for sale for a couple of months, nobody wanted to pay anywhere near that so kept it 🤷🏻♂️
Unfortunately, the thought process of UK buyers is to get a "deal" and lacking a warranty if things go wrong. They will pay top money for latest thing, new and jacked up prices but feel if its 2nd hand, they need to haggle well under what the item is worth. Its no wonder the UK has the highest e-waste count per household. 2nd hand builds done well can be well worth the money and parts sure are not cheap here on Ebay.
Couldn't agree more about that last tip (the importance of good photos) being the most important one, closely followed by the second to last one, the RGB one. Those two will by themselves sell more computers than everything else combined, lol. Spec lists, FPS numbers and catchy titles and all that matters too, of course, but nothing draws more attention and clicks than great photos of pretty RGB. I don't care for RGB myself, but my own feelings on it doesn't matter - what matters to me as a PC flipper is making people want to buy my builds - and RGB vomit and pretty photos sells. Holy crap does it sell.
Nice tips, man. I have nothing to share. You pretty much covered everything. You're a pro. I just want to ask you a question. Have you ever tried to flip a mini-ITX PC? I have seen many PC flips from your channel and some other channels. I have never seen an itx flip till now. Hopefully I will see it from you i know that getting an itx motherboard is hard incase if you get one do a pc filp but I really don't know if it will sell for a good price or not. It has remained unopened door so far.
I’m trying to start out in the PC flipping business… my issue is availability of parts on FB Marketplace/cost of parts in the UK, we don’t have Best Buy or Microcenter and the pc building/flipping market just doesn’t seem to be here lol
How do you find parts at decent prices that are all compatible or are you just buying someone's old computer and investing in some visual upgrades and cleaning?
What do you think is a good cheap cpu to pair with an RTX3060? I found a great deal on the GPU, but did the math. Buying most components used on eBay, a new ARGB case ($60), a new 1TB NvMe ($60), 3600XT MB/CPU Combo (used, ebay) $140 16GB DDR4-3200 ($25 used) , $25 cpu cooler (new), and $40 used PSU, I still came out at $544. How can I compete with the other FB sellers offering similar systems for less money? What should I be trying to sell it for? Is it reasonable to expect $650 for a PC like this?
Funny thing is me and my buddy made a video rating pc's listings on fb marketplace, and i cannot tell you how many dirty dusty pc's or listings where it was titled entry level or beginner pc, or the fact that the descriptions were either EXTREMELY vague, or not very descriptive at all or nothing at all, and if those were not an issue there were badly taken pictures!!!!One thing would love to see though is a quick little 30 second vid showing how much much fps there is, or saying NEVER USED
I'm thinking of building and selling PCs on Facebook, when I sell the computer am I liable if the computer breaks after it was sold (assuming it wasn't my fault it broke)
Pictures! Good pictures or at least decent pictures. How many listing have I seen where all they show you is a "black box", just some black computer case sitting on the floor underneath a desk and expect to sell it. It's ridiculous.
but if everyone on FB marketplace starts cleaning their PCs, then I can't buy dirty PCs, clean them, do nothing else to them and sell them for twice the price. jkjk Thanks for the great advice!
In the description, be complete, but don't wax too eloquently. If you do that, you're liable to say something a buyer is going to misunderstand or miscontrue which will create expectations on their part which may not match the reality of the item. Don't say too much, but tell them what they need to know to make a decision and have an accurate perception of the PC.
One of the hardest parts of selling PC’s is finding a way to ship the computer without dealing with insanely expensive shipping costs and fees.

I find it super important to add proof of it working as well as offering a picture of the spec's for as much reassurance as possible.
Great addition! I agree compleatlyb
I was already implementing most of this but there are a few golden nuggets in here that I will definitely be implementing! Thanks for the video

For real! It’s all about the pics and the shiny lights…..the rest of the tips just help Seal the deal on the sale
Can u make a tutorial on how you take pictures and how you edit them plz.
Thanks for sharing your tips bud, and thanks for the great content!
You bet!

Great tips man and have these in mind if I start building again
Loving the videos
I’m trying to start out in the PC flipping business… my issue is availability of parts on FB Marketplace/cost of parts in the UK, we don’t have Best Buy or Microcenter and the pc building/flipping market just doesn’t seem to be here lol
How's that business going? I'm considering something like this, maybe.
@ I haven’t started it yet to be honest, life priorities have meant that concentrating on my current career is more important… at the moment anyway
I’m doing this bro thanks for teaching us, let me know if you want some hardware
I think we should include monitor , keyboard and mouse too❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks again!
*Great tips, will implement some of these*
I got your back ;)

No problem 👍

ryzen 5 5600 is the best for an rtx 3060. It would be better to buy the 3060 and sell it and buy an rtx 4060 or an rx 7600.
As a seller on facebook market place as well for pc parts, maybe do a video of the scams and how to avoid them
Oh yeah it’s in my list of content to make for sure
What's that liquid spray you're washing the mobo with?
That doesn't seem right...
99% isopropyl alcohol. Perfectly safe

Haha fortunately for you I don’t reach all that many people so there will always be a surplus of dirty PCs lol
Thank you man ..
You're welcome!

When you sell a pc on fb how do you get them to the customer?
I meet them in a public location
@@ThePcRehab gotcha. Like a Walmart or mall ect
@@GaaraOTD_TTV Exactily. Always in a populated area as that would deter bad behavior if that was the buyers motive.
I built 300$ gaming computer like this
i5-9400F 16gbs 2133mhz 1050ti 256gb Nvme ssd
RIP to that omen 25l 😅
Wait, what? You can get the motherboard wet?
YOO BONUS VID
😉
Maybe i can save up for my c5 corvette or Honda civic by doing this
That would be awesome!
🎉🎉 I just started a channel hoping to do this
Good! I hope these types of videos help!
Love what you’re doing and seeing someone who’s not over 100k doing it gave me the confidence to try it myself
All it takes is some patience and persistence
Glad to be here at 11k and be able to watch the growth!
my dream car is that exact civic LOL
Hahaha well you are in luck because I think the cost for it is pretty low
Wow
Hol up, my dream car is a junkie Honda civic. Lol
