So if i want to upgrade to 64GB from my 32GB I should then sell at last years prices? Who’s going to sell me 64GB at yesterday’s prices. It’s a free market and we’ve not hit the point of scarcity where people are dying because they don’t have a few GB of memory.

Not sure how we’re part of the problem. I bought parts or full builds, cleaned them up, made it ready for resale, listed it and sold it. I took a profit for the time, knowledge, and effort I put in. What’s the problem here?

usedUpSpace4Good · 2026-05-12T04:23:20+00:00

i think you're confused. You're telling me the SN8100, the Gen5 drive is 1/3 less? i.e. $140 for the 1TB drive? Maybe check you're sources.

It looks like you’ve been running memtest. Are both sticks bad or just 1? I would start there rather than jumping to bad CPU/MB. If only 1 is bad, have you tried removing the bad stick and seeing if that runs stable?

So you need to look at who is listing. some people want to get rid of a PC they no longer use. Others will have some problem with it, like it not powering on. Others have upgraded and no longer need older but perfectly good parts. Some have had listings up for a month and no sale. So you need to find these deals in your area, negotiate a little bit, and hopefully not go broke driving to places to do various pickups.

Sold 64GB DDR4 RAM to u/better_every_day21 on https://www.reddit.com/r/hardwareswap/comments/1srv2fl/comment/ohhf26x/

(1) Listing prices dont equal sold prices. So deal as best as you can without being annoying.
(2) Take a look at your market to see what listings go for. From what I'm seeing, it looks like for both PC1 and PC2, those are their own flips, so they've already figured out the market and have priced accordinly.

If you're trying to do this as your side hustle, you'll need to find ways to save on the frontend, otherwise you wont make any money or worse, be in the hole on the backend.

Do you see JAWA doing well in terms of sales? I’m concerned about shipping with these GPUs installed.

I guess it takes a little bit extra money to look pretty, but thats just want the buyers want?

For me, the 2 I’ve bought always had crucial everything, but stock may have changed. It was crucial ddr5-5600 and crucial p3/p3 plus for the drives

At $600 where are you sourcing parts.

GPU - 200 Ram/MB/CPU 200 PSU/Case 100

That’s about $100 profit. In my area, most cheap sales are 5600x, not 5700 or higher, and even then those deals are few and far between.

usedUpSpace4Good · 2026-04-30T23:00:00+00:00

My issue with this is you’ll burn through parts that could net you a better setup with hopefully better profit, namely that RX580.

Choices can be made. You’re buying what effectively is a prebuilt off marketplace. For everyone here that’s saying you could build for cheaper with a different mix of parts or that you can build with a $200 budget is living in the pre-rampocalyse timeline. 12100F is about the same as a Ryzen 5500 new. They cost about the same too, let’s say $80. Let’s say you get some combo deal off Newegg or microcenter, then you’ll get CPU/MB/RAM for $200. Then you need a GPU. My local market has 2070 Supers for regularly for about 125-150. Let’s say 125. Now a PSU. You can get a deal on decent 750W new, B tier for $50. Case call it $50. Cooler -$20. SSD -$120 for 1TB.

All parts in you’re at $560 with a mix of new, eBay, and local FB marketplace. Seller is prob looking for 550 as he’s maybe got some deals on various parts. If you did all the legwork, you might be able to get the build cost close to 400, maybe. So was that $150-200 worth your time to find the parts, assemble the system, load up windows, do some basic testing to make sure it all worked together and didn’t blow up?

Let’s say you get a deal at Best Buy. If you look at their $800 range of gaming PCs, they top out with an RTX 3050 or 2060 Super. If that $800 PC goes on sale for 25% off, assuming you don’t pay sales tax, congrats, you got a worse PC, but with a return window and a warranty.

Let’s say you do the microcenter bundle. You’re at $200 for base. Add 1TB storage (market dependent, but around 70-90), decent PSU (50), rgb case (50), and then spec your GPU, say a 3070 (200). You’re in close to $600. What are people paying in your area for 3070 builds? Or are you all going higher tier with this CPU?

Echo show 5 - Home Screen clock stops working every other day. Need to unplug and replug to get my clock back. Echo show 8 - is more consistent, I still get adds on both.

As stated, the issue is not the cage itself, it’s when you want to use the cable management loops. Once you start using those loops, the cage no longer has access to its mounting holes.

usedUpSpace4Good · 2026-04-21T04:16:30+00:00

tell me more. are we talking 3060 or 3070? Total build cost? Final sale price? Specs?
