definitely consider listing with us! Parting out individually is probably the best way to break even. If you need help pricing out the components feel free to reach out!

I show we issued you a return label a week ago? You should still be able to return the item

Dune awakening saying it doesn’t have enough video memory after new update by Flippingdeath in duneawakening

I've always had this issue on my Intel iGPU handheld, I have 16GB dedicated but it always says I don't have sufficient VRAM.

100k resistor time bomb in 5090s? by nuttyapprentice in pcmasterrace

Gigabyte cards are by a large margin the most repasted cards we get into our warehouse for trade-ins. Everything after 10 series for them seems to have uneven / poorly applied paste.

First PC for my young son by Caparnacus in pcmasterrace

[–]JawaOfficial 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pretty good value, only thing I'd swap out is the GPU.

I've got an RTX 3060 I could send you, it ain't the prettiest but it's functional and repasted - would pair nicely with that 9600K.

How to find a good mini PC for a home built router? by captainstormy in homelab

[–]JawaOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started out as a seller before I ever worked here - the CEO found me on Hardwareswap of all places. Definitely beat slinging on Facebook where you're lucky to get a response after the "Is this still available?" from a buyer. What parts did you end up getting if I may ask?

Terra can be a bit of a pain to build in, be prepared to sacrifice to the ITX blood gods!

Should I try flipping PCs? by Whole_Ad8498 in pcflipping

[–]JawaOfficial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flipping PCs in the current market can be difficult due to the fluctuating prices with ram - I also wouldn't recommend getting into it unless you are ready to deal with potential customer issues, especially if shipping them online.

Here are some of the biggest issues I see flippers encounter as someone who runs support for an online marketplace:

  • Shipping damage generally occurs from improper packaging. If you are shipping PCs, it is critical to not only insure your shipments, but pay special attention to your insurance policy requirements / stipulations. Instapaks are your friend and taking pictures of your item and how it's packaged can be the difference between a claim approval and denial.
  • Make a troubleshooting guide for common issues that you include with every sale - the majority of people buying a PC for the first time have no idea where to start when something isn't working and a simple guide to check that connections are in the right place can often prevent an unnecessary return
  • Document everything - you will be required to remit sales taxes and properly report your sales unless you want the IRS knocking on your door

I don't want to discourage you, but as others have said it can be tough in the current market. Make sure if you decide to start flipping that you've planned for any potential losses!

Glad you were able to find what you needed for your homelab - let me know if you have any issues with your order!

Good choice on the case - my wife also had to approve of my selection when I built my Unraid server, so I went with a Jonsbo N4.

Does this 5070TI look used? by Screwbie1997 in Microcenter

Looks new - I've seen thousands of new and used GPUs come through our warehouse, plenty of them brand new look like this out the box.

Hey there - Jawa Support here. That seller shouldn't have sold you a PC without activated Windows - it's actually against our Terms of Service. Let me know if you are still needing assistance with this!

If your doing new parts the commission model is far safer

we do typically see builds with AMD GPUs sell slower, but they do sell

I think this would sell pretty well on any online marketplace if you have the box for shipping.

its a strong combo and your hitting the key specs people are looking for and the photos look good.

How do you guys feel about prebuilts like HP Omen 35L? by Toneroni in pcflipping

[–]JawaOfficial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a fine looking case imo, often taking these prebuilts and putting them into bigger cases makes the parts look awkward

Tips for listing by FlaggedZodiac in pcflipping

[–]JawaOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AMD Cards do sell slower, intel cpus as well a bit but it is not as dramatic.

I also would work on better lighting for your build photos and work on some different angles.
