How do I get into this? I have shittons of old tech lying around
>AMD HD 7950 GHz boost, ATI HD 4890
>about 30 GB of assorted DDR2 and DDR3 RAM
>Intel i7 3770, Intel Q9500 + mainboards
>old HSFs, rads, liquid cooling components
>about a dozen case fans
>Fractal Design Define R2 case
>several hard drives (1B and 2TB drives by WD and Samsung)
>Spyder 3 Express
All of my unused hardware is just lying around collecting dust. I threw out all of the really old stuff (e.g. pre-HD radeon cards, old 8xxx series and older nvidia GPUs, old AMD chips) a while ago but I can't bring myself to get rid of this stuff yet.
If I could convert it to cash it would be great, but do you honestly think somebody will want this old stuff?

I have sold something at 1/10th of the price everybody else had for it. I'm a generous man.
Sure, some people called me and asked me whether I'm bullshitting them or not, but I managed to sell it.
It was an IBM 5150 I had found 10 years ago (at the time; it would be 18 years now, I guess?), and I sold it for 200 euros. I wonder what the guy I sent it to did with it.

Its about playing the long game. You post the tech up for a high price, lower it by small increments if it isn't selling and just wait until people start taking the bait. You're probably not going to sell it right away. And I can tell you the GPUs, HDDs, case and CPU+MOBO will sell for sure. Oftentimes the buyers are idiot console gaymurs who are looking to build a gaming PC that don't bother checking the going price (or whether a component is that current).

Oh and it helps if you add some useless shit "for free" to sweeten the deal Stuff like fans, heatsinks and components that will probably never sell otherwise.

How old are the things you sell? Big difference between selling a 1 year old component for original price and a 10 year old component.

Within 5 years, generally.
