I’m starting to build up a lot of stuff .. that I’m no really sure what to do with. I really don’t want to sell it, the idea of haggling over prices … not interested. What do you guys do?

My previous rig is still in use hooked up to the living room tv. If something is worth a few bucks I will underprice it on marketplace just to get it out of the house, if it is not really worth selling I take it to the area electronics recycling place.
Once i replace my i7 960 next month ill give it to one of my friends prolly
assemble what you can and donate to kid shelters, schools, whatever
Assuming none of my friends are looking for a budget build, I sell them on ebay.
I give them to my less well-off mates so they can play the new games… Better than sitting there collecting dust. I’m literally never going to use it again…
I always sell them off in order to make upgrading more affordable, no accumulating old stuff and save a bit of money, but I do wish I had some of my old GPUs purely for the sentimental value.
I either pass them onto to family members or sell on Facebook market place.
If they work, I give them back to the computer guy so he’ll give me new pieces at a lower price.
If they are broken, I use them as paperweights.
sell the stuff as to refund the new system. Sadly now I have gaming kids that want my old stuff as a trade down (for free)
give them away to friends who cant afford upgrades.
I always sell the parts locally.
Used to sell them because i needed the money.
Now i sell them on the cheap to make others happy. Not everyone can afford new hardware.
We have a collective backup PC in the family where everyone dumbs their old parts to keep it some what up to date. We host an Xmas Lan party each year where it gets to shine. Rest of the parts we sell off.
I usually give it away.
Maybe mount another Pc and sell it.
The good side in spending on the best components is that 5 years laters you can still pull some decent money from the set up.
A 4090 will still be very good for games 5 years from now, doubt someone will pull something heavier than GTA VI.
I give my old computers and laptops to my nieces and nephews.
Update my kids pc’s
They end up as servers or are sold.
I’m just underpricing stuff and mentioning that I don’t haggle. You come to pick it up and that’s that.
I gave away about 1k worth of components and accessories to my sisters boyfriend.
My previous rig was so old that mostly especially the case (totally different from todays standard) as well as non modular off brand psu was thrown away. Old mobo and cpu with cooler put back in original mobo box. The only thing is the gpu that will be framed
I sell them on Facebook Marketplace
I have a ridiculous collection which I really should do something with…
WOW, I can never afford new components without selling the old ones!
I’m poor, I sell everything
Keep them in storage as a backup in case my new parts fail early. A few years later, my wife will get mad at all I accumulated and I’ll go put them in proper electronics recycling, since they are not worth anything anymore for resale.
Pass them down the chain, either to friends/family or I sell them

I expected to zoom in and see some nostalgic parts but everything there is from the last 4 years or so?? There’s like almost three recent PC’s worth made in this decade and 4 motherboards. A 3090 and a 7900 GRE for some reason.
What is your life?
uhhh 7900 is old gen? When?
Bruh. “Old gen”.
Build computers for friends and coworkers who wanna get into PC gaming. Then give them away for free
I upgrade about every 5+ years and usually i will do a full build, my last two pc’s i’ve given to my little brother.
I send them to friends like other people.
I display them weirdly on a shelf to show myself and other people who definitely don’t care about it
