Well, it's OK by me, I don't know how the other guys feel.

imo it may be better for you to ask a price, as most people are very reluctant to make offers as they'll either go in too high or very low, which usually prompts a reply from the seller along the lines of 'You're taking the p**s aintcha mate?'

Not good.

And perhaps a link in this thread to your original 'for sale' thread may help.

Good luck.

Private sales don't break "the rules" ... traiders do. :)


Good luck with the sale. :D
 
Hey there - I am looking to see if anyone would like to buy a computer because i need more experience in building them - possible career. Also this one is just TOO heavy to lug around! This is the system, the oldest parts are less than 5 months old and it fly's like a bitch!

System spec is as follows:

- Abit IC7-G Max 2 Advance

- Intel P4 2.8GHz 800Mhz - Capable of doing 3.2GHz stable at stock voltage

- Cooled by a thermalright SP-94 with 80mm fan

- 2x256Mb sticks Dual channel OCZ PC4200 533MHz can run at cas 2 (2-7-3-3) possibly even faster - rated for 2.9v

- Radeon 9800Pro 128Mb DVI/TV Out (speeds can reach 430Mhz core and 360Mhz memory)

- Dual 80Gb Samsung silent SATA HDD 7200Rpm 8Mb Cache Raid 0 Array

- practically new Sony DVD Burner - writes all/most formats (DVD at 4x)

- Samsung CDRW 52x

- Floppy Drive

- Leadtek Winfast PVR2000Deluxe with Remote Control (TV Capture/S Video/AV inputs)

- All in an Antec SOHO File server - all drives in black to match. Looks the part lockable side door and front door, dust filter, multiple drive lights, removable drive caddy's, snap in fan mounts)

- Antec TRU POWER 400w Power Supply with Active PFC making it environmentally friendlier and very reliable, low noise

- Legitimate original copy of Microsoft Windows XP Home


£777.77 or reasonable offer


edit: This time round i'm throwing in software and games too
 
It really is a very fine system isn't it?

Whoever buys that will be getting a good machine.

Price is now more realistic, imo.

Good luck with the sale, perhaps it may help if you hosted a pic and provided a link to it?

btw, I'm assuming it's just the tower for sale, no peripherals such as Monitor, keyboard, mouse or speakers?
 
It is an awesome pc - im glad you agree that the price is now ok :)

I shall hunt for a pic.

no monitor - just bought that 454 remember :D but if it was OVERLY necassary i could probably dig out a K/b and mouse...

ok found a couple pics - see attached.

Looks neat n tidy inside, and a pretty nifty case to boot. Much better price, but still outta my league.

Good luck with the sale.

Also, i think PCFormat do a classified section on there forums, you might wanna try that, 1000's of people visit it on a daily basis.
 
hmmm... just got a bollocking from a moderator for trying to earn money at PC Format. aparently Future dosent like it...

so...uh... anyone want a PC? :D:D:D
 
Have you tried the Hexus Forums?

You need 50 posts before you can advertise stuff, but they welcome 'For Sale' ads.

I haven't been there in some time now, was a member for a few months but found the whole atmosphere a little too 'cliquey' for my liking :(

But I still sell stuff there now and again.
 
stuff the 50 posts i just shoved it in the bargain hunt section. sometimes when moderators lock the thread the dont delete the text meaning they can still see the ad...
i wonder...
 
Dear Chris

Like I said b4 I would have definately gone for it, but have now got a god one after my MT experience. Keep trying and good luck to you!

Hi Chris,

You've got some good components in your PC.

I'd say you should go with something a bit better than a 2.8GHz though, Maybe a 3 or 3.2. Mentioning you've over-clocked it won't help, to some people it would be like buying a second hand Renault 5 Turbo from a boy racer.

I've got a couple of P4 3.0GHz "Prescott" processors here, still in their boxes. If you don't have any luck with selling it as it is, perhaps you may like to part-ex your 2.8 for one?

I also live in Hampshire (Fareham nr. Portsmouth)

Anyway, Good luck!
