Title: selling a pc, questions Post by: thetank on December 03, 2010, 08:36:15 PM Selling my desktop coz I've nowhere to put it really and no need for it since I gave up the pokers.
Few questions from peeps who might have experience and know about this stuff. Bought new in July of 2009 (http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii177/tigmong/dell.jpg) Also have Dell 21" monitor and 24" monitor, bought in early 2006 but still in good working order. Questions 1. Where should I look to flog it. 2. How much should I look to charge? 3. Would I be better off selling the PC with the 21" monitor and selling the 24" monitor seperately?

Title: Re: selling a pc, questions Post by: thetank on December 03, 2010, 10:04:01 PM tank why did you give up the pokerz? will you never return? Probably not. I'm an all or nothing guy when it comes to the online pokers. I couldn't just grind a little on Wednesday evenings, that wouldn't work for me. I'd want to be on leaderboards and increase my volume to bink more often and get bonuses and etc etc. Even though I didn't really enjoy it, when I'm in poker mode I found it hard to focus on anything else and my work/life balance was a bit screwed. Not to mention that my idea of fiscal responsiblity when I was an online pro meant grinding lots (and screwing work/life balance even more than usual) when my bank balance was low. I didn't see any connection between constantly spending my money on shite and my bank balance sometimes getting low. Without online poker I have much less cash, but the cash I do have goes further because I think before I spend it. I'm also a much happier bunny overall. Don't regret playing poker, learnt some stuff, had some fun. Just time for me to move on. Bought this machine just to be a poker machine, don't need it anymore and don't really have a space for it in the house now second bedroom has been designated for the new baby. Title: Re: selling a pc, questions Post by: thetank on December 03, 2010, 10:05:39 PM ooh, another question.
If I don't sell it locally, how does posting big expensive computer bits work. Do you get a courier? Anywhere I can get advice with regard to how to pack the bugger so it still works at the other end? Title: Re: selling a pc, questions Post by: thetank on December 03, 2010, 10:11:19 PM www.freecycle.org Definately not something I'm against, but I need to sell the PC as there's something important I need to do with the money in February and I don't want to borrow off folk nor do I have much in the way of disposable income each month to save towards that end. I don't feel bad as most of my stuff I've given away in clearouts in the last year. Not much experience in selling because I've always been more of a giver awayer Title: Re: selling a pc, questions Post by: Robert HM on December 03, 2010, 10:17:48 PM Never, ever, take me seriously Thomas.

if u give me ur specs and price Title: Re: selling a pc, questions Post by: Claw75 on December 04, 2010, 12:00:13 AM if u cant sell both of ur monitors i will prob buy the 24 inch one off you if u give me ur specs and price the prescription sunnies or the regular ones? Title: Re: selling a pc, questions Post by: thetank on December 04, 2010, 12:04:12 AM if u cant sell both of ur monitors i will prob buy the 24 inch one off you if u give me ur specs and price have had another request by pm for it, but will put you second in the queue if he backs out so amidst the japes it seems advice from thread is to - Sell the 'puter on e-bay (thusly the price issue will sort itself out to an extent, it goes to highest bidder innit) - Use a door to door courier to ship it - Flog the 24" monitor seperately to some dude on here who digs the 4 tabling no overlap resolution that only 24" and above seems to satisfice. Seems like the way forward? So my 4 stage plan from this point is to 1. use google for advice on how to pack a 'puter and that for shipping 2. pack the 'puter and that for shipping 3. I'll then know the dimensions and weight of box/boxes are so can get some quotes for courierage 4. flog the fukkers Title: Re: selling a pc, questions Post by: Girgy85 on December 04, 2010, 04:11:01 AM Make sure u pack it better than those books mate!! Also make sure u delete all ur shizzle off ur puter properly!! ;)

Welcome back :D Thank you JD Yep moved, no longer living in the beautiful valley, miss that place, with the views etc, ah and that nice comfy armchair suitable for globe trotting poker players to fall asleep in. From there I moved into a camper for a year and now in Croydon. PS Gratz on the WSOP result. Title: Re: selling a pc, questions Post by: Graham C on December 04, 2010, 09:54:21 AM Maybe worth checking out prices on ebay then giving selling it a go in the local paper. Ebay is going to take a nice chunk of you in commission for selling that, then Paypal will want some too. Nothing to lose by doing that except a week or two maybe.
