Pro tip: From Canada/Australia/NZ or Singapore? The Yen is basically two decimal places over. ¥100 is basically $1 C/A/NZ/S with a bit of margin of error.
ive been watching your channel since 5$ league of legends pc(7 years? wow) and used your knowledge to build multiple gaming rigs for myself. i lost my job recently and had to get part time work, but flipping pcs on the side gets me to a liveable income. everything i know about second hand pcs and parts comes from you, so you pretty much saved me. thank you for all the amazing videos.
What area do u hail from in Aus? Where r u living in Japan btw? I spent a few months at a time over there back when I was younger….. in toyohashi n in Tokyo of course. I’ve just found ur Page n I’m really only brand new to Computer Building….I brought some 2nd hand parts but then the rabbit hole of computer building n ended up buying new mobo n cpu ,aôi etc as I wanted a nice,pretty white computer built w out paying big money…anyways looks like the gpu I purchased b4 upgrading my 2nds to new might not be up to the part? I’ve got a i-5 10th gen on a MSI MAG MORTAR B560M n my gpu is Radeon SAPPHIRE NITRO RX580 (White) OC’d (or not?) 4g DDR5 ….I built n am just beginning the wiring n gpu cables required are PCIe 8 + PCIe 6 - Psu plus what else please ?
Been around since the $70 CS GO Potato and the YES man remains KING of the used value PC parts channel! Hope everything’s doing great with you, your son, and your dad, Bryan!
Here in Belgium (and probably more of Europe) pc flipping is going very slow. There are a lot of secondhand pc's for sale, but not selling at all. Really frustrating becaise i have a lot of inventory going down in value. Would love to see more tech yes-onomics!
Niemand gaat 2e hands computers kopen. Vooral niet als ze wellicht gebruikt zijn voor crypto mining. Ook zijn de prijzen belachelijk duur. We wachten lekker tot ze goedkoper worden en we kopen alleen nieuw, niet 2ehands.
Did you just ask if we want more Techyesenomics content? Obviously yes!! You touched on house prices too. Please do more. Canada is a disaster and Australia looks bad too.
I thought my purchase 6 months ago for the 2080S at $240 was a super deal. Guess not. Bryan always seems to get some incredible deals. I did snag a local 2080Ti for $274 (with water block plus all original parts/accessories/box). Plan to sell off the water-block for $40~$50 on eBay...NET price somewhere around $240 for a 2080Ti...acceptable?
@@jb678901 $325 and up seems to be common on ebay so I would say you got a decent deal. I still remember these new at $1200 and people complain about current GPU pricing.
Just bought a Sapphire Nitro+ 6800XT with 1.5 years of warranty left for $355 in Thailand, way more than 6800 non-XTs and 6700XTs... a little harder to find too and most have very limited warranty left.. but I was lucky with this TechDeal, I think the Nitro+ is a very nice model and reliable brand, after having missed out on an Asrock 6800XT for $283
I used to have the same model of Acer monitor that you showed us in the beginning of the video. Bought it in year 2008 for around 300 USD. Still works like a charm.
Another great video. I'd also like a video of the state of selling PCs on the second hand market. I'm having trouble shifting PCs. Although the current PC I'm trying to shift is partner's PC as she bought one of mine, so I don't know if its the selling environment of the fact it doesn't have the gaming case with glass side panel and RGB.
The same thing happened last week when I bought a 2060 super there was lines on the screen so I had to take it apart clean it up , thermal past it and ddu the drivers and it worked great now

same thing for me, just build my second PC with itx size case, I end up buying RTX 3060 12 GB Palit instead of shilling on MSI RTX 4060 which can fit on my pc but the VRAM is too small for me considering I mainly build my ITX PC as mobile AI machine
Do you go to Japan especially for parts or are you having a holiday with a bit of work thrown in? Do other Australians essentially go to Japan shopping? It would be interesting to see a sort of tech travelogue where you go into all the ins and outs (the logistics, customs, travel costs/taxes) etc. Would also appreciate a deeper dive into the economics and the market for tech. Also do you see AI affecting prices (like miners did)? Is there an opportunity for you with AI (e.g. sell PCs capable of running open source AI like Stable Diffusion)? Thanks for the great show!
2080 Super/ 3060 12gb, Both are great deals for those cards I think. 6950X, Interested, Maybe I can drop one into my skylake spare but it's one of many options for a chip to upgrade the old i5.
I gasped!!! as you drove by !Up Garage!. I always find it hard as to which shop to hit first on a bargain drive by. The 2080 S was an Uber Grab, totally enjoy your Bargain Hunts.
Question about the battery charging issue, do you have the trickle charge feature on? It's supposed to detect when you're not using it much and trickle charge. Wondering if there may be a bug with that maybe? When turning that feature off does it do the same?
my local pc store had a brand new 3060 going for about $220 usd so that was a surprise and a better deal than any of the higher and upper mid ranged cards which didn't see any drops noteworthy for black friday
Cant do this in the uk, shop called CEX overcharge for parts especially GPUs and then they dont store them properly. Just left on a plastic plinth and no protection on the PCI-E slot The 2nd hand market for the UK isnt what it used to be with brick stores. I wouldnt trust ebay at all
My favorite pick this month is 5700 xt for 75 bucks. This week I bought rx 6600 for 100 bucks on offerup and I’m so happy with it. I finally upgraded to GTX 1070 and warzone 2.0 is gameplay runs better.
Got a 3440x1440 34" Curved Dell for $40, and a 24" Dell 1080p for $20. Best deals I got the month you did this...no no, wait, got a 10th gen i5 Laptop that needed the power input replaced for free. Got the adapter for free too.
It has become very hard to flip PCs in Europe, especially in the Baltic states where I reside. During the mining boom, 700-1000€ pcs with RX 580s/1660s were selling out super fast, now I’m having a hard time selling 5600x + 6700xt pcs for 700 ish. And the market for pcs that are 1000 EUR+ is basically dead. You either spend 600-700 or 1500-2000, there is no in between.
Nice video got me thinking. I ran across a video talking about China decline in manufacturing how they are exporting it to other countries. USA exported a lot of manufacturing to Japan...Japan reached a point they exported there to South Korea. USA starts exporting more to China China starts exporting stuff to Viet Nam, India, Thailand. and some small countries in Africa. All due to labor cost. I never realized how much labor cost increased in China.
Curious about the $ to Yen exchange now. Im traveling to Japan in Oct and was thinking I should exchange my USD to Yen now and take advantage of the rates now. Any advice on that? Love these used part hunts and economic bits in the videos.
Possibly not a bad time to buy, Yen is 144.32 to USD 1.00. Fairly weak atm but expected to get stronger towards the end of the year. Hard to make a call on that one.
6:15 Is that a Honda Step Wagon? I've fallen in love with that car, since seeing it in Used Car Simulator 2023. Would make a good pc parts hauler. PS. Love these used pc parts hunts.
the price on shelf maybe VAT twice, price mistake happens in wagon sale and second hand parts, some tinme rookie mistake, some time preson handle it just dont care the market price.
The 1080ti is to Nvidia pretty much as the rotary engine was to Mazda. Insanely powerful, and fairly unpredictable, just depends on the amount of power you allow it to consume. Not the most efficient card, that is the only flaw.
I undervolt mine. Runs very well. No need to change at this point. I may buy a 2080Ti near term, then move the 1080Ti from my office PC to my younger child's PC...take that 1080 and put it in the family room PC...and sell the family room PC's RX590. The eldest child is running a 2080Super, which is a perfect match for that 4th rig. Given the prices for new GPU's (that would constitute a 30% upgrade) in this market, I am in no rush to buy new.
@@Willbme4EVA Suppose it will simply depend on price. No doubt, the 1080Ti has been a terrific card. I purchased it used from a man who was selling due to an upgrade (to a 3090); for $340 back in 11.2019. I took the risk (was a local auction sale...price was great), seems to have paid off. I do slightly under-volt this card, for the sake of longevity. It's stable stock and even reasonably OC'd...but I do not require that extra power.
so excited for that 6950X!! Can't wait to see how it's holding up vs popular modern chips of a similar price like the i3-12100, Ryzen 5 4500, Ryzen 5 5500, Ryzen 7 3700X, or even the latest "ten-core" i5-13400. Deploying my business webserver on an i9-10900KF for that sweet low-latency Ring bus; your recent content has been feel-good confirmation bias.
8th gen and up parts are starting to climb in price as the looming WIN11 mass migration approaches. Boards and CPUs I used to get fairly cheap are rising FAST across all selling platforms as sellers know what they have and can command top used prices, it's getting hectic sourcing reasonably priced parts.
I'd like to see a future video discussing the RMB. That currency is a bit sketchy, and many people know that the government in China. . . plays around with the numbers in the accounting books, to put it somewhat delicately.
I used to have an RTX 2070 with the I5 8400, it handled it like a boss with a 600W PSU & had no bottlenecks, so the RTX 3060 would definitely fit great for that dusty build, and I'm pretty sure that PSU could handle the whole system, probably that whole PC even with the GPU overclocked uses around 380W max.
Favs? The RTX cards and the whole PC. I think that 3060 deal is a screamer but that 2080 is about ~30% faster so in the end that 2080 Super deal was my #1. That 3060 is a very close second.
Sorry but 212 for a used 3060 (a cheap one too) is NOT a good deal. Used cards should be 50-60% of msrp for low end and 60-70% for high end cards. Btw a 7days test is mandatory and it's offered in 90% of 2nd hand sellers, some even give a 30 days!
Got Zotac 3060 12GB (dual fan version) for 180 and 6700XT (Sapphire Pulse) for 250 on auctions recently both in pristine condition. 3060 goes into TB enclosure to work with laptop for Blender rendering, 6700XT goes into my HTPC :D Ideally I'd love 4060 with 16GB for rendering but price is just pure nonsense and performance uplift over 3060 is negligible in practice...
No, you can buy any nvidia and amd card, just depends on what the price is. 200$ for the Rtx 3060 is great. A used 6700xt is 20% faster and 25% more expensive at approximately 250$.
Very interesting thought process Ryan. Here in Serbia i get alot better deals and that in insane quantities. It was crypto mining heaven here. I've got 200+ gpus at my house and probably resold about 300 of them last 30 days. Local pc and gpu flipers hate me here ;) I've cleaned many midsize mining farms and yet to come.
I planned to replace my gtx 1080 with something like 3070 or 4060ti. Bouth cards suck for the price so bad that i just got the 4070 instead. well, im on 1440p 144hz monitor so i need this amount of power but, if i had a 1080p 120-144hz monitor, i would go with 3060 12gb or used 2080 super or 2080 ti.
@@baoquoc3710 already have a 5800x in my machine paired with an rx 6800. ended up needing to switch to a Nvidia card for my use case. so now it lives on the shelf until I can find a relative or friend to give it away to
Wow 206$ for a whole PC with i5 8400 6 core 6 thread, gtx 1060, 16gb ram, 256gb ssd + 2tb hdd. great for people who are starting to dip their feet on PC Gaming. It will still run majority of the games at decent settings...
There's nothing to stop you from opening up your own shop in Japan (probably close to the airport for international customers) and be close to your kids while running a side hustle on RU-vid.
I have my systems priced the best they've been in years. Really good value across the board. However, at the same time, I'm selling considerably fewer systems. And that's with a range of systems from $350-1200 and my usual bread-n-butter systems in the $650-800 range well represented. I can't speak to other markets but interest in my market is way down recently.
Prices for used 3060s are still too high here in Germany. You can get a brand-new one for 259€ now (end of June) and people on eBay and marketplace still ask 230-250 for used ones. I'm currently in the market for two 3060s because my sons are getting their first PCs.
Yeah, people simply have no idea how much their stuff is worth and are stuck in few months old prices in their heads... Infact, i still see morons trying to sell 1060's for 100 or more
I am afraid that this Rx 5500XT is not going to move in an gaming pc... Because game pc's with AMD cards are still far more difficult to move as nvidia counterparts. Even Rx 5700xt seems like nobody is wanting here in western europe...
