I can say roughly if it's not used, around 1600 USD. Start around 1100 USD - just my "two cents"

I would proceed with caution if I was you. Ebay is a auction and you will be up against a lot of competition. You can set a reserve price, but that will cost you a fee up front. If you set the price too high you will not get any bids. You can also set a Buy It Now price but I would suggest that you check out some of the offerings for PC's on Ebay.
Building and selling PC's on Ebay is not worth the effort IMHO. Counting time spent accquiring parts, assembly, loading software, testing, setting up and listing your auction, shipping material, time spent packing and going to shipping place, shipping cost. You will probably make more per hour flipping burgers at micky D's. If you want to make a little money building PC's your best bet will probably be a little home based operation serving your neighborhood. My best Ebay success has been to go to public auctions/yard sales and pick up collectibles cheaply. Chas

I would find a buyer BEFORE building. (friend/family member) If it sits in your house for more than a couple of weeks its a USED machine. (current cost of parts minus 10 percent & no mark up for labor)
Can always ask yourself-> "How much would I pay for it?" |

id just build it and keep it. alot of people shopping on ebay are looking to spend the least amount of money possible. youd be much better off finding a local buyer for it.
