I made $7,500 in 2 months flipping PCs… Here’s how you can too

[@YuriusSan]

All these flipper videos talk about getting stuff at prices that are nowhere near what I see those parts being sold anywhere ever, Like I see y'all getting an rtx 3060 for $70 and I haven't seen a 3060 go anything below 180 euro which is like $200 and a 3070 or a 4060ti under 300euro which is $380 I think... I haven't a clue. I can't even get a 1060 for $70...

[@trentongardner2106]

It def depends on who you know. I know some people that do liquidation and i get crazier stuff than that. 4090 for 800 7900gre for 250 6700xt and 6750xt for 180 a piece. Thats just some recent stuff.

[@YuriusSan]

@trentongardner2106 I mean. A 4090 for 800 is like god. I really want to believe god exists but it's just really hard since I've never seen him.

[@xRealUzz]

@@YuriusSan it's not always about God, we don't have free will for nothing, you're free to dive deep into fb marketplace, ebay and all second part sites, but will you ? 4 years ago i got a 2070 super 3900x 64gb of ram, 3 tb samsung ssd and 850 watts psu.. not only this but all those parts are asus rog strix !!! THE GUY built his pc himself with top part component before 3000 series got out and paid 3000 dollars for it. I got it * brand new * 3months later for 1500 and i could prolly sell it today for 1000. Just because i sent a message as soon as i saw the publication.. so you better check ALL those sites different times a day for at least one week if you hope to catch one of these deals. There is definitely someone out there selling their 3000 dollar 4070 super rig for half the price right now. But youre gonna have to look out everywhere every day its no magic

hey, just curious, have you been consistently profitable and do you have any advice for doing this? I've built about 5-6 PC's for myself and friends but never for profit.

[@BrandonYen]

Glad to hear that!

[@CH59J]

Great video but I have a couple questions 1. Do you ever buy PC from a place like Ebay and then upgrade the PC. I don't have a lot of capital to spend right now and buying a older PC off eBay and then upgrading it seems like the best bet. 2. Is eBay a good place to look, my area is decent but Ebay has a ton of stuff,but I haven't used eBay before so I am not sure about scammer and such.

[@michaelfrattoplotagon45]

Welcome back

[@jasonlazzuri17]

How many machines did you have to sell to make that?

[@BrandonYen]

I sold around 50 PCs!

[@jasonlazzuri17]

@@BrandonYen Did you also buy some used parts, or all brand new?

[@BrandonYen]

Most of the parts were used, you can check around 2:15 for a full breakdown

[@ZÏ̇̃]

Great video man. Explained everything well with good structure. How large of a city do you think is needed? I currently live somewhere with around ~180k people and I think there is a market for pc's here but my local website does not have any options to view previously sold items

[@BrandonYen]

Hey! I would say that 180k is on the smaller side but definitely not impossible. I’d start out with a less expensive PC just to gauge interest

[@liam_k]

How do you make sure each used component works before buying it?

[@gunnblaze]

Great video!! I was just thinking about getting into this after doing building my own personal pc. I was targeting mid range for my build. Any suggestion on build formula that works well? CPU & GPU combo

[@EpikBulletYT]

Whatever u do, build with nvidia. For personal builds i dont matter but it gets kids excited

[@EpikBulletYT]

Try seeing what mobo/cpu/ram kits u can find in ur area, possibly with some ram, like a 3600 and a mobo, a cooler and maybe ram. U can pair a 3600 with a 3060/3060 ti and be good im pretty sure. Or get a 1660/1660 super if u wanna go more low end. If u want more high end, 5600 with a 3070/3070ti,im pretty sure these combos are good but hard to replicate(the 5600 one)

CSM support looks like something deprecated, should I really turn it on?

[@BrandonYen]

I believe I said to turn it off, but you are right - CSM support is not needed

[@yungwiz9297]

This is unmotivating lol, the picture you showed of the pc you sold for 400$ at 7:19, is the same as the one I plan on selling and I bought all the parts for 425$ and I thought i got good deals on ebay.

[@BrandonYen]

Hey! Facebook Marketplace allows buyers to leave reviews on your seller page, so potential customers can look at that as a way to build credibility.

Define old parts?

[@BrandonYen]

In the context of this video, I would say that anything around/older than 7 years is pretty old (currently, first/second gen Ryzen and Coffee Lake). In general though, parts within the past 5 years are going to have more life left in them and will usually also be more desirable to buyers (mainly because of recency bias).

THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON TO USE A USED PSU WITH PC FLIPPING. your so worried about profit margins, your willing to put a potential rig killer in someone’s system they buy from you? For what, an extra $30-$40? And I thought used car salesman were bad.

[@kenobi639]

Yeah you have no idea what you're talking about if you think used pc parts = pc killer PC parts don't magically become bombs when you reuse them in different builds. That's not how that works, bud

[@qirkypotpie622]

Bro $7500 in 10 weeks is not good. Like how many hours did you put into that. The margins are just not great. If you're selling T-shirts most retail stores expect 40-60% margin. PC's generally have very slim margins especially for an industry where so many things can go wrong.

[@BrandonYen]

Hey! I broke it down in the video, but I worked around 20 hours a week on average. In total it earned me about 40 dollars an hour. You are right that PCs generally have slim margins, but I find selling PCs to be a lot easier than selling T-shirts and also more interesting

[@ELpeaceonearth]

@@BrandonYen so did u profit 7500 and how much did u invest to make that profit ? i have a good amount of saving and this sounds really intresting

[@BrandonYen]

@ELpeaceonearth Hey! I profited a little over 7500, total overhead cost was about 29k. So total revenue was around 37k. This was over the course of 10 weeks of buying and selling, so it wasn’t 29k all at once.
