This tutorial was excellent. Very spot on. Makes me pretty happy that I just got a gtx 760 for $15. Also 1650-1560’s are about $100-$150 used. I really appreciate the spreadsheets. I’m 100% using all of them from now on
Thanks so much, a really great and concise guide I was like no way is this guys doing an "in depth" guide in under 10 mins Turns out it was way better than any of the big guys talking about this stuff and 10x faster
Why not install the drivers and update windows before the sale? I like to even install Steam so when they setup the PC it's ready to start gaming. other than that I loved your video and learned some things as well. keep up the great work!
You are so awesome man, super in depth video. I really hope you keep making videos but I think you are too busy with life now haha. Thanks so much for the information anyway I’m going to try this for a side hustle, looks fun
Hey man! I've been flipping PCs for the past year, and have stuck to the regiment of pairing an older AM4 chip with either a 970 or 980 4GB. This yields only around $100 in profit per build, due to the nature of the GPU market and all. Should I switch to lower end systems with lower end processor/GPU combos?
Im starting off at very cheap office pcs rn and try to sell them and i just bought a whole pc for 25$ (no ssd no ram) but i have that at home. Thanks for the tutorial.
I've been building systems, servers and networks for over 30+ years and if there is one hard truth I have learned, people are Generally cheap when it comes to their computers. They'll spend $1,500-$2,500 on a new phone BUT baulk about spending more than $1,000 or more and if you want to actually build yourself up as a trustworthy and reliable builder, this isn't going to cut it.
How do you account for the expenses for flipping not related to the cost of the parts themselves? You have to take time to find deals, go get them, maybe clean or refurb them, build the PC, benchmark it, list it and deliver it. All of those things are "expenses" which reduce your gross profit. How do you keep track and account for those things to determine how much money you really made? It might also include what you make making a video about flipping the PC.
Hey man, once the pc is built what sort of tests do you run on it? I know I should test it on games and such, but this can be a time consuming process to download games and all that. Do you just run some basic benchmarks or do you go through the whole thing of downloading and testing games. Thanks!
I think I mentioned it in the video but I keep a test drive with the games and benchmarks so that I don't have to redownload (I just use display driver uninstaller before switching to a new PC so there are no conflicts between graphics drivers). As for apps that you use for stability tests, Cinebench, Unigine Heaven, memtest86, and CrystalDiskMark are useful. However, I would highly recommend testing games as most people will want to know what kind of performance they will be getting with the system. Common games include GTA 5, Fortnite, COD games, Minecraft, CS:GO, League of Legends, and Valorant (basically most esports titles).
hello my good friend, do you think you could do an update on the price spreadsheet? with so much happening in the past two months, much has changed i feel.
So when I install windows on the pc should I activate it because that can be a decent amount of money or should i just install it with no activation. Also should o gent everything used ort should I just get the cpu, gpu and motherboard used and then buy the cpu cooler, case, ram, storage, and psu new.
How many customers do you usually get per day or per week? I’m just curious on how frequently I should be selling PCs and if I’m at a healthy rate of selling
how do you set up the os and test games and such before selling. like do i download windows and make a new account and download drivers or do i leave it for the buyer?
No he said to keep a drive that already have everything so it's quicker to test if the build work and benchmark it. After that, yes install windows and drivers so the buyier doesn't struggle. Or just ask him if he needs it.
Hi im 14 and im wanting to start reselling i am getting alot of optiplex's for free and it includes ram and cpu and they are figuring out how to erase the hdd with a device so this i reqlly want to do
Hey man I have a question, what's the reason that people don't actually just buy new parts even if they are older models and build a pc with those and then sell the pc? Or even with just new and recent parts? Is it because it gets too expensive and people dont buy? Or because u get bad margins etc?
Personally, I like to sell on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace but have found more success on Facebook in the past year or so. Seems like it's much more active.
Unfortunately I don't think so, I haven't been flipping PCs in the past couple months (been getting ready to move). Will see if I have some time to update
Hi! Usually for wholesale prices you would need to be a large PC distributor, and buy a lot of parts at once. If you’re just buying enough components for 10 PCs at once then individual deals will be the way to go.
Excuse me Brandon, When we're selling a pc that has an outdated parts, lets say like an i5 2400, do we need to put a personal warranty to it, or is it just optional? Thank you for the informative video.
Buying something used usually puts the risk on the buyer, so I tell them that if there’s any issues when you first set it up then I’ll give them their money back. Otherwise, it’s not ideal to give a warranty over a long period of time (unless it’s paid).
Sometimes just installing windows the computer already have a license registered, but you can have super cheap license keys for less than 5$ each. I had mine for 2,90€ instead of 150€
Unfortunately not, you’ll have to have the money to build at least 1 PC to start. However, you can build up your capital with the profits from the first PC you sell to keep your investment low!
A good starting strategy is buying some old dell optiplex for like 60 bucks, taking some nicely lit photos and dusting out the case and then selling it for 150. Worked for me
I'm planning om selling my pc but i'm not really sure what pricetag to set on it, could you help me? Spec list: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Asus ROG STRIX 1660 super Asus ROG STRIX B550-E Gaming Kingston Fury Beast 2x8 DDR4 3200mz WD Black SN750 NVMe SSD 500GB M.2 And a 500w powersupply that i don't know the name or brand of Phanteks eclipe P330a mesh Could you help me please? Thank you
If you are looking to do new builds, I would recommend offering a service for people to custom-make builds. You can charge extra for build planning, picking parts, etc.
hey, I have 1 question about the Windows part. Windows costs over $100 and that is like 1/4 of a budget build. I live in the netherlands, and I dont really see a way of making any profit. I don't want a windows key from a weird website, cuz when you get that you support criminals and all that stuff. Should I still include windows?
Romans 10:9-10 "That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved."

You are so awesome man, super in depth video. I really hope you keep making videos but I think you are too busy with life now haha. Thanks so much for the information anyway I’m going to try this for a side hustle, looks fun

would you consider making an updated video on this? the market has changed a bit over the past year
Unfortunately not. While the prices have changed, everything else that I mention in this video has not.
Thank you, this information is very useful.
Dropped a like. Good content. I flip pcs as well. Good points in the video.
Solid video great work
Awesome video bro! Do you also give your customers warranty for the parts? How do you deal with warranty questions?
please make another video like this for 2024, i wanna begin flipping pcs
What you want to know
Yes! I am planning to make another one soon
14 with $5000 I’m the bank I know it’s not to much but wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for this video and Linus tech tips lol

hello there.. can u make any spreadsheet that is up to date with prices?
im glad i bought my 1660 for $200 shipped looking at these prices @3:55
Thanks dude.
Time to do it
Hi Brandon should you give out warranties and if so then how should you give out these warranties?
How can you see the market in your area? Like just looking for PCs on marketplace. Like to see how much demand there is and if it's worth it
How can I flip a pc with a 1 fan gpu. I think it would be harder because of it being less impressive.
Hey man, once the pc is built what sort of tests do you run on it? I know I should test it on games and such, but this can be a time consuming process to download games and all that. Do you just run some basic benchmarks or do you go through the whole thing of downloading and testing games. Thanks!

How do you get windows on a pc you build
You flash the windows by ISO file on the USB
how do you set up the os and test games and such before selling. like do i download windows and make a new account and download drivers or do i leave it for the buyer?
No he said to keep a drive that already have everything so it's quicker to test if the build work and benchmark it. After that, yes install windows and drivers so the buyier doesn't struggle. Or just ask him if he needs it.
Thanks, Please make pc build and flip video bro
what zip ties do you recommend for the cables for cable management? I thought for heat resistance it would have to be stainless steel wouldn't it?

Hey man I have a question, what's the reason that people don't actually just buy new parts even if they are older models and build a pc with those and then sell the pc? Or even with just new and recent parts? Is it because it gets too expensive and people dont buy? Or because u get bad margins etc?
How about a Windows operating system, they cost like 40 bucks? A storage wipe etc??
It cost 15 but ok
Thank you
Hey, so do you just download the free version of windows when you sell them or should you give them a activated version?
Is it worth it to buy brand new parts ever when there on sale or just buy used parts and sell the pc as used
i have the same wallpaper
Awsome thanks
Hey just a question: Where do you sell the PCs?
Personally, I like to sell on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace but have found more success on Facebook in the past year or so. Seems like it's much more active.
How can we create that drive with all the games to benchmark?
How often do you update the spreadsheet?
Hello Brandon! Will you be making a mini update on the GPU prices of in the Docs to reflect the market's post crypto crash?
Unfortunately I don't think so, I haven't been flipping PCs in the past couple months (been getting ready to move). Will see if I have some time to update
Bro I live near the bigger pc market in Asia. But m confused where to buy pc parts at wholesale?

Sometimes just installing windows the computer already have a license registered, but you can have super cheap license keys for less than 5$ each. I had mine for 2,90€ instead of 150€

very nice vid
hey yo what websites can i sell on other than facebook marketplace?
This used stuff is good and all but what if I got new everything accept the graphics card would that still turn a profit
Probably not. Go to Newegg's computer builder and try to build a budget PC. The damn things always cost too much.😂
can this be done with brand new parts instead of buying used parts?
If you are looking to do new builds, I would recommend offering a service for people to custom-make builds. You can charge extra for build planning, picking parts, etc.
Imma try this 250 flip for 400
Don’t you have to pay taxes on it??
How much money can you make in a month
Do you think I can get profit with PC's under $300?
hey, I have 1 question about the Windows part. Windows costs over $100 and that is like 1/4 of a budget build. I live in the netherlands, and I dont really see a way of making any profit.

hey does anyone here sell on amazon with this? like your own brand? if so let me know im trying to see how sales are working out for you.
Even if I was desperate I wouldn't buy a second hand junk PC from anyone, Too many people are building junk PC's to turn a profit.
Instructions unclear, I flipped my PC and it broke

@@BrandonYen ok thnx
Sounds like a lot of work for minimum, or less than minimum wage.
If you can work for a few hours week and flip a pc and make 300 bucks, thats not minimum wage
I’m bout to make a flip that will profit me 500 dollars
If you aren't benchmarking a system for at least 72 to 96 hours then your not doing anyone any favors.
So, basically scam your buyer?😅
Literally any business ever
Damn
