People giving 1 star reviews for things which clearly specify what is in it, yet they still buy it anyway then write a scathing review about how it isn't as advertised, as if they've been incredibly wronged and they're not the asshat. It's your own fault for buying something with your hard earned money and not even doing a Google search.

The two ads for $1300, the first one was a “buy it now” and the second one (with the 2060 super) was a auction, with a starting bid of $1300.

The second add, the guy will no doubt have wanted closer to $2000 for it seeing as $1300 was his auction starting price.

I always love it when they just say "SSD" without specifying which kind. There's a world of difference between a SATA SSD and an NVMe SSD. (Also, if it's an NVMe one, they should always tell the speeds, because they vary _a lot._ Some NVMe SSDs may have like 500 MB/s read speeds while others may have over 4000 MB/s.)

Going by these prices I should list my PC for like $6,000

In reference to the $4950 PC. I thought your reaction was a little over the top based on the parts the seller had listed, so I did some research. The listed parts for that PC would bring the total cost of the hardware to around $4000 (give or take $100 dollars for price fluctuations). Ebay takes 10% of the price paid ($495), the seller is offering free shipping (a minimum of $75 in the continental US on a PC). Credit card companies and Paypal are also going to charge the seller about 3% or more of the final total. That would mean that the seller is making around $235. Yes, it would be cheaper to buy the parts and build it yourself, and in most of the listings you evaluated today, I would agree with you on the on the prices. I just feel that you should have done the math on the listings instead of just going "reaction". I've built a ton of PC's in my life and I can honestly say that I wouldn't begin to work on one for someone other than friends or family for less than $150. I certainly wouldn't be willing to take a loss on parts because of ebay and paypal fees. With all that said, if someone has that kind of money to spend on a PC, and doesn't either want to, or have the time to build it themselves, they would be better off by going to one of the boutique builders like Falcon Northwest, Digital Storm, or Origin, and get the warranty and support that such a builder provides.

I've seen some with first gen i5s for thousands, or one I saw earlier was an $800 "gaming" computer with an RX 550 GPU.

I just love your hilarious analogies 😂

How can there be so many i3 9100F's? Would it be the same story as the GTS 450? And a RX 5600XT is a bit better then a RTX 2060, but not the super. And that CPU cooler in that first PC, it looks like a RGB cooler from Wish (that LTT bought). And I think it was a 9400F. And I thought that second hand PC's where overpriced in my country...

Who came up with the term "pre-built" if you think about it pre-built means before it's built, "post-built" on the other hand means after it's built. So pre-built really means a bunch of computer parts which haven't been assembled to make a working computer yet, post-built means a bunch of computer parts that have been assembled to make a working computer.

Where I live people don't even post the full specs. They just say "hey it's a I7 so it's good, right?" and then you realize it's a 3rg gen or something. I imagine a lot of people buy old PC parts and sell them for a premium too.

3:25 those specs are from a video I saw for an 800 dollar pc build, like exactly the same.

The thing is. eBay has very high fees to maintain listings. They take about 15-20% off the bat right when the listing sells, and another 5-10% if you’d like advertising. That’s why the deals aren’t so great.

The pc at 5:15 that exact pc is still on market and he fixed the cables LOL

I drove an hour and a half to my closest Micro Center to buy my PC. And only because GPU's alone cost more than an entire pre-built. Most of the custom websites cost about $300-$500 more with the individual components and I'm just too damn anxious to buy individual parts from seperate websites and wait forever for every single component to show up.
