It's sad to see my friend deciding to sell his PC after all the hours he's invested in researching about the best possible PC desktop rig to get.

Luckily, we live in a time where we can sell things online and I believe it's best that he sells his PC sooner or later because the economy gets worse.

So he is asking GAF for advice on how to maximize his chances of selling it at minimal loss.

It's brand new condition and he's thinking of selling it on EBay first. Is there other marketplaces that would buy the PC Rig?

Worst possible time to sell

 

[Yamisan]

Spent hours researching the best possible pc desktop and yet bought an Alienware?

 

[Elektro Demon]

I'd say don't sell it. When the economy crashes and money is worthless, we'll go back to physical item trading.
But seriously, list it on Ebay or your local trading site and hope for the best.

 

[GymWolf]

let him read the topic about console being already obsolete compared to pc, he will change idea immediately.

PC/Personal Computer, it can be all shiny new and the value would still plummet the moment you put it together.
He might get about 60%-75% for it, new and under warranty or not.

Worst possible time to sell

Or the best for all the people looking for gaming PC's during lockdown

 

[Hotty Botty]

Specs? How much is he looking to sell for?

 

[Virex]

Tell your friend he's a retard for buying an Alienware PC.

 

[LazyParrot]

Imagine spending hours researching PC hardware and then buying Alienware.

Unless he finds someone who specifically wants an alienware desktop he's going to take a big hit.

Imagine spending hours researching PC hardware and then buying Alienware.

Turns out the majority of his research was quizzing a 16-year old Gamestop employee. No offense, 16-year olds.

It's a desktop right?
Maybe I'm confused, but if there is stuff he doesn't like about it, couldn't he just sell the individual parts and replace them with better ones? I don't know much about Alienware computers, but they are gaming computers so I'm sure it has a good graphics card etc at least right?
Don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

Also the friend is actually you, right OP?

 

[sonomamashine]

So many wrong things in here,
first he bought Alienware
Posted No specs
then comes this part

I believe it's best that he sells his PC sooner or later because the economy gets worse.

Lol i'm out of here, the worst advice ever.
Sure you guys friends ?

 

[Max_Po]

Is he interested in trading ? I got a 48 pack of Toilet paper rolls ...

 

[Vawn]

Your "friend" has a lot of questions on GAF for dumb things he has done.

 

[Nankatsu]

Donate your PC to fight Coronavirus. Think of the world, OP.
