I know I'm not allowed to sell it here, I'm not trying to. Just wondering where would be the best place to sell it, and wether I should try to sell it whole or as parts? Any advice is much appreciated!

If you are going to sell it, its probably best selling the parts seperately, you should get quite a bit more. May I ask why you wish to sell your PC?
Please add to my rep if I have helped you

Probably easiest place yeah. Problem is shipping, it'll cost you a bomb as it's large and probably heavy. (Unless you state the exact P+P cost).

I always read that a full machine would sell for more over just parts Originally Posted by Wozza365

Don't have any time to use it anymore and have other things I would rather spend the money on. Originally Posted by Wozza365

either way you are going to lose alot of value, personally, even if though you dont use it much, i'd keep it. Originally Posted by FacetiousPizza

How old is it. Any warranty? If it is still under warranty id sell it as a whole system and transfer the warranty over. If it is out of warranty I would use something simple like freeads.co.uk or a buy and sell type place and sell as parts or whole. People usually make offers then asking if they could just buy the mobo and cpu for eg. At the end of the day, the longer you have it and want to sell it the lower the price will be. Post it in gumtree or sites like that, and Im sure you will get offers. Ebay will take fees off your final selling price and people can not see the item first. Never helps when selling 2nd hand electrical equipment.

+ 1 to Buzz for the Gumtree suggestion, I managed to sell my laptop on there for £220 and i would have said it was probably worth £150. Customer can also see the rig working etc. With full amount going into your pocket instead of ebays/whoever.

Thanks for the help guys, never heard of GumTree, I'll have a look. As for the warranty, some of it is still under manufacturers warranty but none are under PCS warranty anymore
