How bad did my friend get ripped off? Paid $550 for this.

  1. I’m no expert but this looks like a $200 computer that will sell used for $150 or less tbh. Also it was $500 for the PC and $50 for a MnK.

    UPDATE 1: Friend is getting a refund. There’s just no way I could let this happen, awkwardness of the situation or not lol.

    UPDATE 2: Building him a much more capable machine for $600, Rx6600 + R5 4500 + 16gb 3200mhz + 1tb SSD, MnK, Wifi+Bluetooth. Definitely lower end of the quality spectrum parts-wise (nothing unreliable though) but good enough for their needs.

    Yeah they got scammed. This max should be 150 to 200

    This is a $120-150 pc on ebay max. Friend should have asked. Person he got it from could still live in the covid era. He may have gotten it for $550 2 years back used, and passed it on for same money now.

  4. Bought waste I wouldn’t pay more than $50 for this

    oof. I have a clevo p770zm laptop with 4790k and 980M 8GB and the BIOS chip is fried and it’s worth more than that. lol.

  8. XxKimm3rzxX

    This pc was probably built for 500$ when it first came out. And that was 6-7 years ago. This is so similar to my first build that was 450$ 10 years ago haha

    Wow, if I had a scamming operation running then I would love to get him on the team 😉

    Honestly, with that CPU, you’d have to pay me to take it.. I’m not joking.

    The seller should be getting life in prison goddamn

  12. patrdesch

    That is a 12 year old midrange CPU and a 7 year old entry level graphics card. Your friend got hosed.

    Should’ve bought a console, for less of a scam.

  14. Nitazene-King-002

    Yeah they straight got scammed. That shits worth $50 at best.

    I live in a country where computer parts are about 1.5x USA prices + taxes.

    You can get this machine for about 120USD here.

    So yeah total ripoff indeed

    I’m in South Africa but equivalent usd price for my setup would be $250.
    I7 5960x
    X99 mobo
