Price Check/FS Desktop and Paintball Gun

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
First off, I have my main gaming desktop. At this point in time, I'm not really looking to sell it as I would be left without a computer for several months while I built up the cash for a laptop. I'm just kind of curious what I might be able to get for it.


Antec clone (Chieftec I think) aluminum case, side window, 5 80mm fans
480W Thermaltake Powersupply
ABIT IS7 i865PE motherboard
Pentium 4 2.4C CPU, runs perfectly fine at 3.0Ghz
512MB of GeIL PC-3500 Ultra Golden Dragon RAM (Matched sticks, dual channel)
128MB Radeon 9800 Pro Built by ATI video card
160GB 7200rpm Seagate HD (I can look up specific caches etc, think its 8MB)
120GB 7200rpm Maxtor HD (2MB cache I believe)
19" Viewsonic p95f+ CRT (2048x1536 max, 1600x1200 optimal at >70hz refresh. A $250 monitor)
Phillips Acoustic Edge 4 channel sound card
No OS or programs


The CPU is rock solid at 3.0Ghz, and I have been able to get it higher, but I didn't want to run it higher than I needed. The RAM is currently on RMA to Newegg.com, they may send me different RAM, but it will be matched sticks of equivalent speed I am sure. Theres a 4 inch or so crack in the side panel of the case, but I never really notice it.

Misc

I have a Black 2003 Bushmaster BKO electronic paintball gun. Great shape, lightly used. Fires >13 balls per second semi auto only (for tournament play). Has an awesome adjustable double finger trigger (currently set very low, like a mouse click). I'll also include a red Viewloader Revolution 12v hopper, Vforce Shield goggles (I LOVE these things, never fog up, optically correct lense, super nice padding.), and an 88 cubic inch 3000 psi Pure Energy nitro tank (nitro is required to use the gun, its way better than CO2). I also have a Freak barrel system back only, which is nice if you have a freak system, but if not, its kind of useless. I'd like to get $400 for the whole set, go ahead and make offers. This BTW, IS for sale.

My family has the Ebay account equinedriver, 97.1% positives (1 negative from someone a year ago who was being very nasty, but I wasn't involved, that was my mother. Also the positive one mentioning being hard to deal with was my mother as well, but I don't know the story behind that.) They are all from buying things, but its all I've got, since you all don't know me personally. Thanks for reading through all this.

Paintball stuff sounds nice. Wish I still played.

As for the 'puter, well, that's always a tough one. Personally, I just use 'em as far as I can then give them to a friend/relative/charity. I discovered that it's a better feeling than getting a fraction of what I paid (if I sold it for cash).

That said, I'd say ask around $600-800. I know, I know, there's a TON more invested, but the reality is, someone with (say) a $1,000 to spend on a system probably will not buy used.

Unless you get a match made in Heaven (buyer-to-seller) most used computer purchasers are not that spendy.

I do wish you the best of luck, and your up-frontedness (is that a word?) about the thing is a BIG PLUS in my book.

Thanks for your quick response. I know that the value of used desktops depreciates incredibly fast, so your estimate is by no means a shock I think I might consider prices in that range if it came down to having only a laptop, but I would like to keep it if possible, I just don't know if I will have space for it at college. That 19" CRT takes up some monster desk space I'd like to sell the paintball stuff because my friends and I never have the time or money to play anymore. I'd be willing to negotiate on the price a bit, but it'll most likely just end up on ebay.
