The problem with Pc´s/Pc harware is the speed of development.
a system that was top notch yesterday is mediocre tomorrow.

In my Cellar i´ve got around 3000 € worth (estimated purchase price) of Hardware (from Graphic cards, Mainboards, Cpu´s, Soundcards, cases, etc) , Games, Pads/controllers, etc. which i´ve purchased over the years.
But if i were to sell the whole lot on Ebay, i´d be surprised to get over 100 €
Same go´s for games/consoles, i checked out my cellar last week (everything i don´t need anymore get´s thrown up there) i found atleast 30 boxed PC games (starting with stuff like the Monkey Island series, C&C, etc all the way to more modern games) for which i payed full price back in the days, same go´s for every single console+games starting with the NES, through the Genisis, Snes, Mega Drive, Ps1, Gamecube, Ps2, 3DO, Saturn, Dreamcast (all systems have atleast 4 Games) that are just worthless or only worth a few € today.
It´s a one way street imo.

So tbfh if you wanna sell the rig, be happy with what you get.
