Trade requests are usually always people trying to get something slightly better then what they have. Or full value for their item + cash. So makes no sense to trade to get something harder to sell or worth less.

I got my ps5 from a 250 dollar pc so that was a really good trade.

[@Jozef_1]

@@Alex-hc4wm If you were in the market for a ps5 and the resell value of the pc is about $250 yeah that's a good trade. If the pc was worth more then $250 probably not so good of a deal but depends.

if its a cpu i always say im upgrading from a R3 1200 and if its a GPU i tell them ive been running integrated graphics on a 3200G so ANYTHING worth flipping is def better then that, lol

[@JuiceboxDesmond]

I do this thing where I tell the truth. "I build and sell PCs. Sometimes I can make a little profit". The person is almost always like "Yeah thats whats up, I'll check out your builds!" I've never had anyone start tripping just because I'm reselling. Telling the truth is good karma, and there's no reason to bullshit anybody when you're not doing anything illegal or even immoral. And you should never feel guilty for doing this HONEST hustle called PC flipping. NEVER

[@BuiltbySteel]

Good job especially considering that sales are indeed slow right now. I have some ultra budget PC's I'm just sitting on for the time being to list them near the upcoming holidays. This channel always provides great relevant content that has been helpful in my fledgling PC build and flips. I am wondering if you can guide me to where I can obtain PC packing material? I'm thinking of making my own out of packing foam parts that I have wrapped in anti static material but want to check out prices on pre made stuff. Thanks for the updates.

[@mr.arocenastech]

Market is slow here too. I'm getting like 100 clicks over a week but just a few weeks ago some of my listings were getting 200-300 clicks in the same time period. The marketplace algorithm is bizzarre. So as a result I'm selling things for less profit than I normally would since I have a lot of inventory to move.

[@egwagjsd]

I do trades all the time especially for systems which are taking longer to sell. Not only can you usually get a good deal on whatever they're trading in, but it encouraged them to buy from you. Keep in mind I only take PCs and consoles in trades, sometimes other electronics like racing wheels. Can easily sell a PS5 in a day at a decent price compared to the time it takes to sell one $600 computer.

[@Golden_Line]

I have a office pc that I have been trying to sell with a 1660 super but people often just ignore it. Specs being i5-11400/Gtx 1660 Super and 8gb ram. Its listed like $369 + shipping on Jawa and so far no bites just lookers. Facebook is similar so rn I'm kinda stuck with it. The market feels like it took a major turn down when selling any PC with a GTX.

[@jordanneuroth5731]

Hey love your videos!, I have a question and was wondering if you would know what would cause this problem so on my gfs pc when ever she plays mw3 after playing a game or 2 it’ll say on the screen no signal and then I have to force shut off the pc but when playing other games it’s fine and overall doing anything else it doesn’t do it, the components she has are a intel Xeon E5 2630 v2 and ddr3 at like 1360mh 16g in dual channel and for the motherboard szmz X79SE LGA 2011 and a asus rx 580 8g and the power supply is a 500w bronze rated.

Yeah, unless they had PC parts to trade, I'm just really not interested... and it's super unlikely someone would be looking for a PC if they have viable PC components, so most of it's crap I wouldn't be personally interested in or markets I have no experience selling in. My fav is when they say you can get "xxxx" amount selling whatever it is, and I'm like... then why don't you sell it? Then you'd have the money.

i don't understand why the 3600 has pcie gen 4 support but 5500 doesn't

[@Jwalker76]

AMD decided to sell their APUs as the 5000 series even though they're an older design. These APUs were the 5600g and 5700g. A 5500 is a 5600g that had a faulty igpu so they disabled the igpu and sold it as a 5500. The 3600 is a better CPU than the 5500 and usually cheaper and it can still be bought new. 3600 also has twice the L3 cache of the 5500.
