It really helped that the competition in that price range were people that spent a lot of money on cases and RGB, and put turds in them.

OH! The 12400F build with a RTX 4060 and 32GB of RAM! That reminds me of a Facebook Market Place ad I saw local to me! Intel, i3 12100F, a decent Asus motherboard, pared with 96GB of RAM, or something weird like that, and RTX 3080, and a slow 1TB SATA SSD, for something around $2,700.00 I think it was. It was like the guy bought all the best pieces and then bought the cheapest CPU to I guess try maxing out his profits? He had more money tied up in the cost of RAM than he did in the processor, motherboard, and SATA SSD combined. The RAM and the GPU were the most expensive bits, and the RTX 3080 had already just been superseded by the RTX 4080. I have no idea what crack that guy was smoking, but in the end no one bought the machine because of the mishmash of parts.

[@ahmedattia5930]

[@PXAbstraction]

So I know Jay is kind of taking the piss here and trying to be funny, but his strategy of lowballing and trying to "unfirm" sellers is exactly what people like me can't stand about selling on public marketplaces like this. If someone lists the price as firm and what they've listed is not acceptable for you, then move on and if they come back with a lower price later, then engage them. Trying to offer obscenely lowball amounts of counteroffering sellers who said they aren't open to them is a waste of their time. When I list things, I list them for what I know they're worth and having a dozen responses of people offering 75% less or even worse, going "What's your best price" right off the bat is a good way to ensure that you get a very snide response back. The sellers have a right to ask what they want or need. Show them the respect you think you deserve as the buyer.

[@iTzMAS]

A firm price should be a good price, not a bad price, if your price is good then you don't need to be firm, but if it's not, then no one would buy it for that price.

[@PXAbstraction]

@@iTzMAS As I said, if you think the price is unfair and the buyer has listed it as firm, then move on instead of wasting their time with a counteroffer they said they didn't want. The marketplace will shake them out soon enough. A good price is what the market will bear, not what you deem it to be.

[@randomhobbies5796]

Don't buy anything for a year and see how fast prices come down

[@drgapinski]

Just out of curiosity's sake I looked up what my build would be priced at brand new and it's about 4.5k. The 4090 really did jump up in value by quite a bit because that's more than I spent for the parts when I got them. To think I'm considering upgrading the mobo/ram at some point if next lineup of CPUs are good...

[@FesterSilently]

Honestly that $4,000 RTX4090 rig wasn't a TERRIBLE build for the price...but they fucked up as follows: a) they should have splashed out for a MUCH better motherboard (X670E) to support the RAM + CPU they bought, b) they ABSOLUTELY should have splashed out for a WD SN850X or better (for that price) and c) again, they should have a 1,000w (platinum) PSU to support all those thirsty components; 850w is cutting it WAY too close. Plus, question: does current AM5 even support DDR5-8200 specs?

[@chainz983]

i upgraded from a shitty Sony Vaio laptop back in 2017 with an Optiplex with an i5-2400. Now im trying to upgrade again. Honestly anything released between 2016-2019 would be alright with me

Jay, I can tell you for sure that I won't buy anything till they lower themselves to the ground with their prices that are insane high fot today's standards that make people mad for what they paying for, there is just no efficiency in none of the high end components for desktop pc, they just add more power to squeeze the ass of the hardware performance as much as possible they can which comes with big sacrifice like life span, increased power draw and tdp and not to mention the melting issues from rtx 4000 gpu's..... Yeah I don't like the tech as it is today, so I will wait when they settle things on the efficency and performance and price point to consider building the dream build of gaming or work stations stuff...

i used to work at one of those recycle centers, building those systems. had a ton of fun, and it was great putting the systems up for super low prices. a lot of parents and grandparents bought "the kid's first gaming pc" from me. made me feel really good getting that kid into proper gaming.

[@sonicmoth8340]

@@ghomerhust I respect and appreciate you

[@iamionscat9035]

Where do I find that type of bulk recycling center? I would like to find one near me. Thank you for your help in advance.

I will say, pay attention to videos such as this, and learn to make informed decisions. Prebuilts are nice, but not always efficient. I always trust what I build over what can be bought.

[@kenanthony2962]

Hey Jay, you are right about people selling damage system trying to get fast cash. I have a few part around the house and I'm able to build good used system to sell at a good price at times. I always tell the person to come and test system / parts out before you buy it. Plus I also stand by my builds for service if needed. I've been doing this for years. I have not had one of my system die or return to me at all. (Thank God ) Now I have use some of the used parts to upgrade a few older systems in my day. Now I do have a few people that comes just to have a system cleaned

Interesting "color" for the computer shown just before the 12:00 mark... lol

[@jordyboy62]

That was the second time it happened first one is at 5:46

[@JuandizzyMo]

it's because of some reason that is changed to Spanish.

[@sogwatchman]

In the last 3 months your titles and videos have just turned into clickbait. Used to actually tell you what it might be about... So sad.

[@CaptainScorpio24]

He is running out of content. That's exactly what pc industry is all about

[@TheForce_Productions]

Market sure has learned a lot from Nvidia business model.

[@DeadlyKiller54]

Yeah it’s tough to sell on the used market, i have a 5600G, b550 motherboard, 16GB RAM, 512GB m.2 ssd, and a 1tb 2.5.ssd, 550W psu, and a RX6600 for sale at 550. People are just low balling me, and not offering anything less than 300, like nah, I’d rather wait, and sell it at what I’m asking for.

[@aliimtiaz113]

To be fair/ yes old parts/ but you do gotta make a profit. I built the pc and alot of my parts are cheaper then a store bought one i also take the risk of putting it together and charge my labor and shipping ontop of it. IF i sell it for how much i bought the parts for why even sell ready built pc's in the first place? I just think this is a little crazy NOW DONT GET ME WRONG scamming like some people do is RIDICULOUS but not getting free pc parts or discounts like everyone does. Doesn't mean we CPU Sellers shouldn't make money selling a good and well working product.

[@iv6579]

Actually, I no longer feel comfortable using 16GB of ram. I see my system is at 10 - 14 GB ram usage, when I'm working / gaming. I'm glad I have 32 GB.

[@DogFatherNas]

Jay can you do a short video talking about cablesmods and how their cables work? I just recently upgraded my PSU to an ROG, I had an Asus Tuf and it had cablemod wires, I’m wondering if I could use those same wires on my new psu.

[@ChowHound1337]

I build and sell PCs. deal hunt to get parts below cost because there's already no margins and add whatever labor costs. Assembly, doing all the updates, benchmarks, stress testing, (memory tuning depending platform) My prices are very fair in my location especially since where I'm people cant source certain parts and have to pay for shipping. So i charge about 8-10% of what tax would be as my labor costs. These are new parts. Problem with alot of people is they think they can build cheaper or they try to build and end up calling me to fix their builds that dont work. Then you also get delusional morons who think they can just low-ball for a new build who i just ignore.

[@bignicnrg3856]

You are so hard to watch. No original ideas. Sad day indeed

[@shef_ratte]

7:44 I'm actually running that Asus 4060 Ti in my system right now. bought it in February as an upgrade from an Asus GTX 980 😅

[@MrFusion88]

Probably already mentioned, but FB won't let you ship items for over $500, so some people just put that as the price and then tell you the real price over chat...though they usually call that out in their ad.

[@AlexHusTech]

*I have a secondary account to throw those low ball offers out* 🤣 😂🤣

[@craiggerhardstein7305]

thats a great idea and then use your main account to off a little bit more than the low ball offer.

[@donatedflea]

yoink lol what a great idea

[@rightwingsafetysquad9872]

Careful with that, it's against the ToS. Sometimes FB cracks down hard and bans both accounts, other times they don't seem to care at all.

[@kenwilliams3279]

Use the secondary account to ask if they are on crack 😅

[@chunkyplumps]

I'd love a video of Jay just lowballing people on Market Place... "hahaha you on crackj" : )
