I love when people try to make it seem like you're getting a deal when they tell you the msrp prices of 6 years ago. people are delusional

[@stephenbateman7254]

For meeting up: a lot of police stations now have designated areas either in their building or parking lot for Facebook marketplace meetups. Always encourage that if it’s an option

[@B_Machine]

[@kaytee1127]

Nah, I'll take a random dodgy looking apartment in the middle of nowehere that I went to pick up a 6800xt for $350 a few months back haha.

[@thechampagneroom1]

Yeah, I think they call it the parking lot

[@height5558]

Just have all your transactions filmed directly by law enforcement. That's not asking for trouble at all.

[@WCGwkf]

pro tip: if it says "high end" it ISN'T high end. no, your 1650 and 3060 is not high end, and the msrp you overpaid has no meaning.

[@johnhicks8626]

I list a higher end build as "exceptional" for just this reason. Yes, even today, a 12700K + RTX 3080 is pretty high end, but if you list it that way people are suspicious

[@malvinchau2056]

Unfortunately closer to higher mid-end. High end nowadays is something like a 4080 super and above or 7900xtx ​@@johnhicks8626

[@robster7787]

So where would you put that in? 3060 Ti is entry level or mid Tier?

[@RSpracticalshooting]

@@johnhicks8626 why not just list it as "Gaming PC - 12700k/3080" so people have an idea of whats actually in it and that the ad isn't a waste of time? i saw a few ads in the video listed like that and it made the most sense to me.

[@johnhicks8626]

@@RSpracticalshooting I often do that too. I've tried several ways to garner attention... but my specs are always clear and what is new is shown separately from what is repurposed.

[@Jimtheneals]

After your video I decided to look at the marketplace just to see what they had and the first one I came across was a listing for an "MSI godlike" mobo and the picture was of a gigabyte board. And the others I saw had absolutely ridiculous pricing for old hardware.

[@UrbanGrafixltd]

i now just go in there to have a laugh, it's like that in all countries. i bought a way better system "brand new" for the same price of worse used pc's in fb marketplace. i will always buy peace of mind and get new stuff especially if it's a high ticket item that i need everyday.

[@Jimtheneals]

@@UrbanGrafixltd It's ridiculous what they're asking for this stuff. I just build my own PC's and servers.

Right. I saw one the other day that said Liquid cooled but was very clearly air cooled in the pictures. lol

[@Jimtheneals]

@@TheVelorian Yeah, it's not just lies but stupid lies. It amazes me the crap people try to get away with. I've seen listings for a "gaming pc" for $1200 with a Ryzen 3700 and a GTI 1060 and saying how great it plays AAA games.

[@UrbanGrafixltd]

@@Jimthenealslol for $120 less i bought a system with an R7 5700x, rtx3060 12gb, 32gb ram, 1to m.2, 750w PSU... all parts are brand names with 1-year warranty, does what i need and more! i was having literal headaches when i was dealing with marketplace guys before i decided to give them the finger. Best decision ever!

[@ilbro7874]

Dude that 6750 xt build is solid for 500. Thats insane. Prebuilts for that would be like $1200

[@SemperValor]

That prebuilt was 1,400 2 or 3 years ago, I know this because I bought one lol. The slate Mesh 6 I buypower PC runs really cool too. 500 is a steal for that.

[@mathewheaps4086]

The graphics card alone is worth over half of that build - literally paid £320 ($410) for one new 3 weeks ago. So $90 for the rest of the components? I get the graphics card isn't new though.

[@jgorres]

It's a better deal than the $400 PC from Jay's previous video.

There are some generous people out there, I think it's very rare, but it happens.

[@sirmonkey1985]

always love that one.. i also love messing with people that put that on their listing by listing out the exact prices of everything they have.

[@kramnull8962]

Then you have those that cannot afford $2 for a 4090 anyways.

[@liftedplane]

there's this pawn shop near me that just went out of business. Things in there were priced higher than new, the owner was an old boomer who once said exactly that to me. I swear it was actually a front for something.

[@kaytee1127]

Honestly lowe ballers help. Ive got really good deals from sellers who are relieved to get a reasonable offer and accept quickly after getting lowballed so much.

[@mostlyharmless7834]

Aids usually

[@hill2hell]

Back when I sold my used stuff I priced it around 50-60% of the original price. Most people who messaged me asked if it was for parts or is it broken since it was the cheapest on the marketplace. 😅

[@AceMcCrank]

At 7:35, where you see that price discrepancy between listings, it is important to note that one was 8GB and the other was a 16GB model. The one in that PC has the 16GB model.

[@ian.williamson]

Not sure about elsewhere, but our local police department is a popular spot to meet for high value meetups. Failing that, a major store parking lot during the day, with someone with you :)

[@thatfordboy4297]

Having an extra body is a big thing. Not only for "reinforcement" but especially to be a buffer. 1 on 1, it is extremely difficult to pay attention to the item you are there to look at. Side note; if in the US and legal in your state, or you otherwise have legal means. Carry protection, and not the rubber kind. At least when dealing with high value purchases.

[@jodokast06]

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

Love the video. I purchase from recyclers or companies that specialize in acquiring computers in bulk and reselling. I find purchasing from an individual they tend to be delusional on what they want to make of the sale, I know most people want to get a good sales value but you want an honest value not a delusional value IMO.

[@ghomerhust]

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.

[@boam2943]

I would say that a very big red flag is sellers posting stock photos from the manufacturer instead of photos of the actual product their are selling. I have fell for that before where the seller ends up selling a product that is too damaged. The other red flag would be sellers announcing a price that is too small for the value of the product (like that $1 guy), then acting offended when someone offers them what they are asking and keep trying to up the price on you when you make an offer. I usually filter those low values because they are either faulty/damaged products, scams that target your wallet or your data, or delusional sellers. Thank you for the video Jay and team.

[@donnydarko7624]

I won't waste my time with listings that have $1 as the price. May as well not have posted any info or pics. If a person wants to sell something they should make it easy for ppl to make the decision wether they want it or not without any delayed back and forth making everything drawn out and more work than need be. No actual pics is a red flag too, and prices that are too good to be true are red flags too.

If you're shopping, please make sure to look at the laptop market. I have seen multiple great sales and open box deals on laptops with 4050s and 4060s, and those mobile GPUs will embarrass many desktop GPUs from the 10 and 20 series (and even some of the 30-series). The 4060 mobile is not significantly slower than a 3060 Ti desktop.

[@tapioorankiaalto2457]

RTX 4070m is much slower than RTX 3070m, has same amount of VRAM (8GB) with only 50% memory bus (128bit vs 256bit). It's not always better just looking at the naming scheme. I had a laptop with 3070m and it was actually fast enough for PCVR with HP Reverb G2, one of the best resolution headsets. 4070m is about a 3060 desktop equivalent. 3070m is about a 3060Ti desktop equivalent.

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.

I got a PC for a friend on Facebook marketplace with a B550, Ryzen 5600, 3070, 256gb ssd, 750 watt psu, and 16gb of RAM for $640. It's not a crazy crazy deal, but I'm happy with the set up, and the case was actually clean. Optional stuff I picked up was an ethernet cable, GPU sag thingy, and I threw in an old 1tb SSD and a 1tb HDD I had laying around for extra storage. He's gaming on his old TV, so it's really only going to be pushing 60fps at 1080p. But he has so many avenues to upgrade, I'm pretty proud of the snag.

my tip for shopping the used market is to know what you want. if you have time to browse then you have time to do your homework. compare prices online for the lowest and if you find that they're about the same, haggle. depending on what it is, you could (hypothetically) save either $10-50 or 10-50%. for example, i just picked up 2 monitors the other day, asking price was $150. did my homework and they accepted $100. now i got a triple monitor setup that matches perfectly in aesthetics

you can put a 5700x3d in most am4 motherboards with a bios update

I like how at 9:20 seller emphasizes gen4 ssd, when the current mb+cpu combo doesnt even support gen4.

I know this video is geared more toward people looking to offload their used PC's but there are also many PC flippers and Local builders like myself on these platforms that build PC's for profit. Some folks don't market themselves as such but their prices may appear a bit higher because your paying for their expertise in sourcing the parts, building and testing the machine to make sure it's stable. It's not a bad way to make some side cash as long as your not trying to pull a fast one. I also wanted to comment on the "New Build Comments". I think its fair to call a build new as depending on the parts that are used because GPU's and CPU's have longevity in them and if the rest of the parts used in the system are new it is essentially a new system especially if it's been tested for stability and thermals. The build is technically new because the builder sourced the parts and Built the system and tested it. In my listings I mark which parts are new and used if any so there is no confusion. If it's a build I just cleaned up and tested then yes that would be marked as used.

well put, my build was actually roasted in this video, and i think he is a bit ignorant of the difference between people who are trying to offload their old pc, and people who are selling something with the intent of making a profit.

I got lucky and bought two “broken” gaming PCs for $200 each. One was valued at $400, the second, a Corsair Obsidian Super tower with complete water cooling, purchase was valued at $1200 on the low end.
