    Some really good feedback in todays video, appreciate you guys dropping your comments!
    1) I can see why selling on discord isnt fair so starting Episode 3, I will not put my PCs on the For Sale Section. (Episode 2 is already filmed unfortunately)
    2) I have changed my name and profile pic on Facebook so people dont recognize me anymore, not that this made a different in the transactions in the first place.
    If you guys have any other suggestions please leave them down below!

      Hey, I would recommend trying out some budget builds for your flipping series. When I clicked on this video I was expecting a starting budget of $300-500 and 3600/2060 etc builds with some used parts. Personally I don’t think starting $1170 in the hole was a great idea, it worked out great this time with awesome profits but I would have loved to see some cheaper builds that balanced performance and aesthetics for the price featuring a used CPU and GPU, and trying out some tried and true budget cases and coolers. That’s what starting out flipping PCs is really like imo, if you’re starting with a low amount of money and slowly building that up with good price management strategies. Personally, for my first flip (over a year ago now) I started with $110 and built an i5 4570/RX 570 flip. after a lot of effort I’ve worked my way up to planning out mid-high end AM5 flips with the funds I have. Sorry for the text wall, but I feel like that’s something you should try out in a future episode if this is becoming a series (which I would love to see)

      Yeah the lowballing to start off is an interesting choice, $200 less on a week old listing is not a great place to start and would normally result in a block, if the seller didn’t need to sell ASAP and didn’t recognize Ed then it might have gone differently. I don’t think the lowballing is something that should continue on the channel

    Cool concept and all, and I actually run the same type of flip content on my channel. However, in my experience it's VERY hard to sell a PC on the raw/used market for over $1000. People who have that kind of available cash likely won't buy used / unknown and or be unwilling to put up that kind of cash in general. You have a massive advantage of having a massive following and people knowing who you are and can trust what you are putting out there. That's great for making some flip cash but unrealistic for small timers like me or anybody else willing to try their hand at flipping too. Great content as usual but not at all a realistic expectation for 99.99% of the rest of us.

    I really liked the video. I think the only thing that I would have enjoyed to see is you cleaning it up and putting a “pro touch” on it. That fan config was stressing me out, would have loved to see a few extra minutes of you making that better.
