@@bartfelix2949they can't always track a PC like a phone because it's not always connected to a network especially if you take the WiFi card out idk honestly maybe best buy or something
honestly, while rare, it does happen and I've been able to take advantage once. it was a good little pc for as long as I had it, and am now using the case from that pc for a new build!
@@Dreadpirateflappy Handling stolen goods is a crime, yes, but that only applies when you know that the goods were stolen. Kristofer bought it and there's no direct evidence that it was stolen. You can guess that, based on the price, but nobody could ever convict you of handling stolen goods after buying the goods like this.
Yeah I got a really good pc, and kids on reddit think it's only.worth 500 Edit: I made allot of broke boys mad 💀 sorry my PC is too priced up for you and better than what you bought 💀 sorry I looked up the used parts and comes up as much as I'm selling it for. If you want to build it or buy it, go ahead and spend the 2,000-2,500. Edit: forgot this comment exists lmfao.
@@gaming_for_life8769A "really good pc" and it's actual value are different things. I don't use reddit much anymore but no shot comments in any reputable subreddits would undervalue your PC. The undervaluing guy would get called out fast
@@HouseFootwork That price is about right in America. In fact, if u were you purchase those parts today retail and assemble them it would be more expensive.
@@Mr__Va 2080ti still outperforms the majority of modern cards. It takes a 3070ti to be comparable and even then the 30 and 40 series cards aren’t optimized well. A 2080ti build done right still sells for over a thousand easy.
Some Prebuilt Systems are built with Standards. The term “people” comes with an implication that everybody pre building PC’s are out to get you. That’s a healthy notion to operate on but the moment you start singling out a broad vocational field, as a singular group, Well now you just look like an reductive child.
A similar thing happened to me too, got a samsung gaming monitor, a rx480, i7 3770 pc for 20$, the person was moving interstate and couldn't carry all of this, and her flight was in an hour
Something about the RTX 2080 and the i7 9k cpu in the old early 2010s Cooler Master case makes this the best sleeper ever. Just the way the profile of the gpu fits in the case is so satisfying
Yeah I underpriced my pc on fb marketplace too because there are so many used pc’s for cheap on there already. Everyone upgraded then flooded the market with their old rigs
I sold mine in parts. Still have the mother board and memory sticks. Nobody wanted it already built second hand. Made the money back it was just aggro doing it
I’ve gotten a 3080 with 11700k pc for $580, 2x 3060ti pc for $410, and 3070 pc for $480. FROM THE SAME DUDE. He was mining on it. It was the height of my pc flipping career.
For those who might question this you also have to look at the competition from like AMD cuz even though Intel CPUs hold their value AMD can match it and performance and be much cheaper nowadays especially for gaming before anyone asks I'm not a fanboy i bye what's affordable for my budget and I also look at the size of the components to see if it fits or not
@@Ziyoblader exactly! You can literally get a used R7 2700x or new R5 5500 and pair it with a RX 5700XT for $200-250 and have a insane 1080p set up for AAA gaming like I do. The 4k cards will cost you as much as a beefy 1080p build.
Just remember, handling stolen goods is illegal. You will get stung if the original owner finds your seller listing. Edit: It's amazing how many ill informed and delusional idiots are in the comments here. It's very obvious none of the nay-sayers have ever experienced the what happens when you receive stolen goods. I, however, have experienced it and know what the law says and what the police will do for the original owners.
Just remember. If you don't know its stolen, you can't be prosecuted. Handling stolen goods is illegal if you do so knowingly. If you get sold those stolen goods, whilst it's a legal grey area it is now yours.
@@TheMagicianOfGaming While the not knowing part excuses the illegalities of it, it does not excuse the fact that the item does not belong to you and never did. It's still stolen goods and if you ever discover it is stolen goods, you have a duty to return it to the original owner or the police can do it for them. You will not be refunded by the thief that sold it.
@@FoxtrotYankeeHotel person with zero knowledge I buyed it from some one and if so who I will now it is stolen and who a original owner can tell it is his product?? And ha by thing he is showing in video he had bought from online seller so he will be on no risk
Some people sell for cheap just so they can get rid of the item / declutter right away. I’m kind of like that too, especially with gadgets. Fact is, not a lot of people would pay close to retail for a pre-used item, no matter how “new” it looks.
I understand that, I'm the opposite, I buy all of my used tech for people like you... 😂 I guess if you have always had $$$$ floating in your bank account, it's no big deal. For people like me who have $$ in their bank account, we're getting what the item is worth 😂 and we love buying from people who don't care
did this a while back when, my dad, got me a pc. shop was selling it for 300 while the build itself was 500-550 haven't had an issue over 18 months later.
I got a laptop from some teenager who's mom told him to sell it, it was a 13th gen i7, 4060, 16gb ddr5, 1tb ssd for $300. Always keep a lookout on marketplace and lowball. Some don't get offers and run back.
lmfao only thing held in place on my pc for storage is my HDD, (2) M.2, and my (2) SSD'S are in the back pannel being pinched between the PSU and Back Panel Door LOLZ
Lmao but facts I'd be tweaking too, it's cheaper than a new gen console and it has pc games so that's a win and I know i7 isn't amazing but it'll keep up with new gen and more
@@user-um8dv5nb2q that generation of i7 is literally the same performance as a i9 9900k. i7 9700k is pretty damn good, its worth 200$ alone, with appropriate motherboard, its a cheap setup
@@subarashiikyloxdidn't mean to offend you , I'm just saying there is a lot a better options that i7 and you can't argue with that but for that price yes amazing but I never said it wasn't amazing for the price
@@user-um8dv5nb2q It is used and the guy probably needed the money so he put it on sale. Most things don't resell for the same price you bought them for.
Maybe don't use your money for emergencies. It's okay to starve, okay to feel dirty, okay to trek to work/school, etc. The only thing you should prioritize is light bills, internet bills and the gaming PC. Then you can sort out the emergencies however you want 😊
Dad bought me a pre built asus rog gaming pc when i was like 15 for $700 at bestbuy. We brought it back because it was sluggish like something was wrong hardware wise. The guy at geek squad just told me to go get another one and the only one left was the $1600 version, they both looked the same, so i brought it to the front and he said okay yeah its the same one and we walked out.
i got a crazy deal on a low end gaming laptop for 220$ online and those laptops sell for 650$ still lol, so i got a crazy deal, its a lenovo ideapad gaming, was a little dirty but overall works great (yea i cleaned it really well, was satisfying xD)
Similar thing happened to me when I was 15 too that’s crazy. My dad got me my first pc from Best Buy on Black Friday, at a really good discount (normally $1,250 bought it for $950). Turns out the operating system was corrupt or something and they just swapped it out with another PC, but since it was after Black Friday most of their mid tier stuff was gone so I got an $1,800 pc with a 1080ti, i7 7700k when they were top of the line, the original pc had a 1060ti and an i5 in it.
Definitely aint paying $700 for that. $450 max. I can get brand new components using an rx 6600 which will be comparable to the rtx 2070 for about $540. $700 gets me to AM5. Yall can miss me with $700 for a prebuilt used rtx 2070 with an 9th gen intel
I had something similar happen a while ago but the guy was here on a work visa and had to go back to his country. Sold everything at a discount as he was not so attached to things.
That PC is not stolen, thats my buddy. He couldnt sell it for over $500 to anyone so he just gave it up for $350. $400 is about fair. Its 6 years old and a prebuilt so...
$500 is probably what he will get if he sells it. Always have to sell for less than someone else can sell for unless the value of it doesn't depreciate or goes up over time.
Yeah, aren't they about to release the 5XXX series GPUs this year? Making that 2080 THREE generations old, and slower than my even older 1080ti in many applications...
Done it myself. I cant remember the speccs, but I was going through a really rough time, so I undersold it. Needed the money, and I was honestly going through such a rough time that I wasnt actually able to deal with a sell. Undersold, out the door, I felt better.
When you find a PC that's cheap and is OBVIOUSLY worth more, the person selling it to you is either an addict selling his own stuff to get more drugs, selling other people's stuff to get more drugs, or is a thief selling stolen goods. Be more responsible when you buy things.
@@chandlerrodriguez367 You're selfish, at the expense of others. I hope that's not your kid in the picture, because I fear they are going to be taught shitty values.
What do you want them to do, take it to court? Return it to the owner which is nearly untraceable without receipts or knowing where it was ordered from? Post about it where anyone can claim it's theirs? I seriously want to know what they could've done If it's being careful about buying from a thief, then yeah that's fair. Don't want them tracking you, or knowing who you are. If they stole once they might steal again. If that's the case that's fair This isn't meant to be rude, just genuine curiosity!
@@ComicalOrangeVR If you suspect they stole it, don't buy it. If they can't sell the item, they don't win. I know it's silly because some other dumb ass is just going to buy it, but that's the point. You're supposed to be the better person. Don't let the bad people win because you think they'll win regardless.
I remember when i first bought a pc off marketplace........ i was so young and had noone around me to tell me it was a bad idea or if it was good. Fully grown man sold it to me claiming it could play any game absolutely perfect. He also said he was gonna leave all his games on their (which he did) and also left all his personal messages on their from messenger and photos of him and his family. I just reset the computer and wiped it and later found out it had some pretty shitty parts in it which sucked but i had my fun with it at that age. My fault for not doing the research but man i was excited lmao. Now the one thing i didnt understand was the fact he had spent so much money on a collection of games that were unplayable almost on his pc. Very weird and confusing situation
Same here when I picked up my pc for 3 grand in rands, got away with a 2tb hdd and 1tb ssd, no gpu, 16gb ram and I think a ryzen 3 processor got myself a rx6400 eventually and upgraded to a ryzen 5
I would try to fit in some gaming at least an hour a day. Life is really short, don't waste your time only on things like work. Have some fun, do things that make you happy.
I think this isn't very logical in the long term. You might not have time now, but if you're underselling it you'll end up having to put more work towards buying it back in the future when you do have time. Just keep it, unless the money is really tight, and even then, don't sell the expensive things on a whim.
Yeah, I got a 3090FE pc build for $1100, the guy included a 1080p, 240 HZ Acer Predator Monitor, a hyper X mouse, and a mechanical keyboard. The PC also came with two M2s. I was surprised at first, but when I picked it up and saw the 4090 build on his desk, I understood lol.
That PC seems similar to mine. I paid a little over 2000 for it (new and custom built) in 2017. I would feel bad if I had to sell it at that price today.
PC selling market is really depressed, plus the poor condition the PC was in probably depressed demand. Most people that want to buy a full PC 2nd hand probably doesn't have fhe knowledge to upgrade or repair it. Its a prime candidate to buy, upgrade to 2 sticks of ram, give it a nice case with rgb and sell it. You could sell it cheap to a kid if you feel bad making too much profit. I miss your RU-vid videos. What are you up to now ?
@@SnOwOkie Stolen and being sold at normal price? Dude its 2024, prices are back to normal... RTX 2080 is shit GPU at this point cuz if you compare a single RTX 2080 to RTX 4060Ti, you need 4 of them to even match the performance of a single RTX 4060Ti and 9th gen Intel is already an ancient CPU... He paid what it was worth and shit was not stolen... I bet I could sell you crappy PC that cant run anything new due to CPU that does not support modern stuff and a GPU that cant even run DLSS 3.5 and AI accelleration...
It's probably not stolen. If it was stolen he would he selling it on the street for $100 or less to get rid of it.. not advertise it on Facebook for a fair price.
Happened to me during covid. A dude sold me a 1070 and 9700 with AIO, MSI gaming motherboard, 16gb RGB 3200mhz ram, 750w EVGA psu and 1tb M.2 in a fractal case with RGB fans for... £500. But he also gave me a razer keyboard, a 144hz 1080p monitor and a razer RGB mouse pad. The card alone was worth £400 in the mining boom. He just had no clue.
No things like this happen all the time like I bought a box of graphics cards off this dude for ONLY 20$ they were good graphics cards too. I tested every single one of them and they all worked. 1060 780 and others it was amazing but I feel bad for the guy
It shouldn’t be 6-700 dollars unless you just have extra money to spend. A PC like that probably cost 450 to build. He was right to sell it to you for 350
Bro I feel the same but apparently this guy works at a pc repair shop. I had an alienware R8 from like 5 years ago that had a 1070 and 16 gigs of ddr4. He traded my an $800 laptop for that little pos. Idk if I got scammed or what but it was up on facebook marketplace for $300 for 2 months before he messaged me.
@@matthijsvandeweerd1415 The 2080 is a gem of a card and will slaughter the 4060. I flip computers and the 2080 is wayy cheaper and faster then the 4060.
If you felt like you stole it, then maybe you should have given him a little more money. I dunno maybe its just me but yea i would feel bad about im not knowing what he really had, maybe it was his brothers/friend that passed away.
I love browsing ebay or fb market place to find parts people dont know anything about or dont care enough about. Got a dell rx 6800 xt for $90. It was taking out of an alienware pc, hence the dell branding. It was sold as parts because it was allegedly damaged. But once i got it, i realized the cable for the fans was just disconnected and i dont think the owner knew enough about PCs to figure that out. Also, makes sense as they bought an alienware and are a plug and play type of pc gamer.
It's probably not stolen. If it was stolen he would he selling it on street for $100 or less to get rid of it. Not advertise it on Facebook for a fair price.
lol, my brother just gave me an "empty case" because he knows I like to build computers. At his house I opened it and found a motherboard with cpu, 2 sticks of ram and an nvme ssd. Asked him if he was sure and he was like "whatever". I of course expected the bottom line of all parts but to my suprise it was a 10700 in there with 16gb of ddr4 ram and 1tb nvme. Of course told my brother about it and he still wanted me to have it.
considering that CPU and GPU are approaching 5yrs old,it actually makes sense for this to run for that price. especially if he had that card for more than 3yrs. id say he sold it to you for $100 less than what it shouldve gone for,but $600 is definitely too expensive
Sounds crazy but literally a week ago now I went and met up with a guy in my area from a Facebook marketplace listing, he had a bunch of dell optiplex’s and a few other branded office computers with upgradeability all of which listed for $25 (Lowered down from $50) so when I got there I spent a few minutes searching and found a gaming pc with an i5-6600k, MSI GTX 1050TI and 16gb of dual channel G-Skill red 2400mhz and he let me walk off with it for $25 been gaming on it since and not a single problem.
I vibe with this man. I cut out a god damn piece of my case because my GPU (3080 TI) was too large. I spent 0 any fancy rgb shit or overpriced mainboards.
