Depends when it was built. 2020-2022 would probably explain it costing that much

The RX 6600 was $330 at launch. The average price was $600 at one point during the COVID/AI craze. It absolutely could have cost $1000 for the full build initially.

Could be around 1000$ 3 years back, but i wouldnt buy that used pc for 500 today

Also, selling the kids PC is always sus to me. Parents often over-react and that’s fine if they can tone it down later. But selling a PC can’t easily be undone. It feels like a trashy poorly thought out punishment.
Sure, it’s possible the kid could actually deserve having their computer taken away until they behave better but selling it feels like going too far.

I love the “cost XXXX to build” posts because they act like buyers are stupid and don’t know computers rapidly depreciate.

I don’t think it is a steal… Average price misleading advertising though. I am selling my sons which is similar, upgraded not punishing, for $400.

Am I misreading it? It says at the top they are asking for $500

For 500 quit its fine tbh

“Back plate with all the ports got bent at one point” huge red flag. steer clear.

Just want to point out at the end of 2021 there were 3080’s selling out of stock at $1,400 usd
Safar1Man
Offer $250 lmao
kooldudeV2
Definitely couldve been my brother spent $900 on a similar build a couple years back
But i just got a ryzen 5 7600, rx7600 8gb, 32gig ddr5 6000mhz for 600 bones in February so id say $500 is a fairish price for this

Might have been 3-4 years ago.

$500 isn’t a bad price, but I’d try and snag it for $400
Scoopzyy
I mean it’s not like they said “built yesterday for $1000” so how do you they’re not telling the truth?
arcaias
The cost of the guilt trip tho 🥺😭

Its not bad if you want a project to piecemeal upgrade eventually and sell the parts, assuming it’s at least a b850 board in there.
I spent about $580-600 on a PC with a r5 5600x, 32gb ram, and a used 3070.
Offer him $400, haggle to $450 and pick it up today.
You might wanna upgrade the cpu and GPU to play really high end games but it’ll work for like.. fortnite and GTA V and stuff just fine

That’s wild. I literally just sold an ITX dope build that was more powerful than this for $500.

It’s not the price that stuck out to me. It’s the seller saying ‘because a child can’t act right’.

$1000 four years ago maybe

That’s probably what they paid.
Imo it’s not a bad price, but electronics are expensive here.

Tbh $500 is about what the component cost used on eBay to replicate would be but you could do better
identityconfirmed404

For 500 that’s not awful
Love pc sellers.
“It cost me 3 grand for it 5 years ago”….
nice. But it ain’t worth 3 grand is it
500 is a fair price, honestly.
