Lookers_Carl Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Looking to get a price on a custom built PC I bought about 12 months ago for about £1100. Was bought for some video editing and gaming. However, looking to downsize and I no longer need a tower of this power/size. Anyone know of any companies that buy them? Dont want to go through ebay if it can be helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorrro Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 How much are you looking to recoup, Carl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookers_Carl Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 I paid about £1200 for it. Looking to recoup as much as I can, but realise will have to take a hit. It is a powerful rig, ideal for anyone who does a bit of gaming or needs some horsepower. I am basically looking to downsize a bit. specs are as follows.

Zorrro Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Oof! Nice rig, if I could afford it I'd have it off you. Besides Gumtree I'd say eBay is your best bet, despite wanting to avoid it. Maybe post an ad up at the Uni? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides Gumtree I'd say eBay is your best bet, despite wanting to avoid it. Maybe post an ad up at the Uni? IT is a fab rig and I am just looking to see what I can get for it at the moment. Would only part if the price is right. Should have mentioned it also has another year parts and labour. But I havent really had my moneys worth out of it if truth be told and am looking for something a little smaller in size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookers_Carl Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 (edited) Cheers for the input lads Just quoted a near identical spec PC from where i bought it from, seems like brand new it would be going for around the £1000. Tis looking like will hang onto it until the warranty runs out anyway unless I can recoup a good 2/3 of the cost. Really dont wanna go through fleabay Edited October 9, 2011 by Lookers_Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
