what is going on everyone we have just a single Craigslist ad in this video it's still gonna be in the I read playlists but it's only gonna be one ad because this one is just so cringy like it is the worst PC Craigslist ad I've ever found and I want to give a shout out to the person on Twitter who sent this link to me intensity to the sixth power at aka intensity he said wow what a deal and I clicked on it I was like okay it's gonna be you know maybe wonder he's asking maybe five hundred bucks or thousand dollars at the most more than he should for his gaming PC well I clicked on it and I was greeted with this beautiful thing right I mean I'm not gonna take anything away from his style here it's a clean build he's got a really nice build in here he's taken his time it's got a nice color coordination going on and he spected out appropriately and he's gonna i7 8700 k 32 gigs of ram and he has a gtx 980ti so he's built the system right but what he hasn't done right is priced the thing now he wants $6,000 for this on a public forum and mind you he's also posted this exact same ad in the facebook marketplace so you could go there if you want to look at it as well get more insight into what's going on with this thing but it's just so outrageous that I wanted to bring it to your attention because people do this and the way that he tries to sell this is just plain up I mean he's almost trying to bully you into buying this and I just think it's a terrible tactic so let's look at what he wrote in the description and then we'll do a price break down and see just how far off the mark he is by the way Before we jump into the details I want to show a few more pictures of his build it's very clean I can't take it away from him he took his time here not and it does look really nice excellent cable management a good you know RGB color combo here with the fans and the strips and a graphics card the AI oh you know this is this is I'm not taking away from his build his build looks really good but the price isn't and you'll see that when we go through the specs here so I 780 700 K 32 gigs of ram 128 gig a.m. to 500 gig Evo SSD a 2 terabyte hard drive gigabyte Z 370 board 8 100 I cooler 1000 yd+ from EVGA we have a 1080 Ti from EVGA a corsair 5 70 X course there are a GB fans with controller of course there are GB strips with RGB controllers of course there are GB mousepad we have a Logitech G 9/10 keyboard a Razer Naga epic chroma keyboard it's include two keyboards it's a little weird and then a 34 inch 4k Asus ultra wide LED display okay I mean like he's including that right that's a pretty nice panel we'll look up the price I'm not sure what the MSRP on that is and then of course at the end he's got a you know hype it up with the professional put together and built this will play any game 4k max with ease and no issues okay I'm you know he's got a great combo but in all of my testing playing at 4k with max settings is still gonna put a lot of stress on that 1080 TI I mean you know most games you could probably get by with playing on pretty high settings in 4k but max settings I'm not too sure about that especially with some you know pretty intensive titles I'd say witcher 3 4 k max is probably gonna be a little too much just one off the top of my head you know but so when you see statements like this and ads just be a little leery you know this this is a just just a general statement that's very vague but also at the same time very specific in his case right and you want to just steer clear these for the most part and then of course $6,000 cash firm no less in all caps so he's pretty serious about his asking price no i will not part out sell separate I will not take payments EBT PayPal whatever you have cash money 6k no less do not give me any BS of oh I can build this and that for this build it yourself I do not need to sell just here to entertain offers if you don't have the cash go to Walley world and buy yourself a pre-built system for 300 and have it break in 14 months and cry you know I understand to an extent right people who lowball you just to lowball you see they can take advantage of you they can get pretty annoying so that's why you say things like firm or you know I'm unpretty firm on the price or OBO or trades are not accepted like you try to give the potential buyer like a scope right a frame of reference for what they should be asking in return for this if they're gonna try to counter your initial offer and that's normal that's that's healthy it's okay to have a back and forth on Craigslist you know that that's how both people come out happy that's how you make a sale but when you come out saying $6,000 cash and I can tell you right now he's asking for literally twice the price he should be for this then and then you say firm no less in all caps and then you go about making fun of people who can't afford it by saying they should go to Walley world and by themselves pre bail pcs for 300 bucks that will break in 14 months which I would also argue as a stretch of his imagination then you're just being an asshole so what we're gonna do here is build his exact PC and we're gonna give him the benefit of the doubt we're gonna build everything at MSRP and assume he's he's just gonna charge his MSRP for it and then maybe he'll charge us a little extra for Windows 10 if he's including that he didn't say was and then maybe a little extra for the for the labor but if he's trying to do this you know as a from a business standpoint then he should make that clear up front if he's trying to get six grand for it no business is gonna operate marking up computers by that much so we got the 8700 K we're gonna do an H 100 I v2 there it is here it is gaming seven yep here we go 200 bucks I know it's not Corsair ramp we're just gonna say it's Corsair Dom Platts just because those are gonna be pretty expensive and premium so again we'll give him another benefit of the doubt now he doesn't list what kind of m2 SSD he has here I'm just gonna assume that it's just some average duck you know he's asking 60 grand for this you'd think he'd be a little more specific about the parts to justify his asking price but he's very vague so I'm not gonna assume it's anything expensive that's why I've got an a data 128 gig I'm not - SSD here for roughly 50 bucks and then I'm gonna add a 500 gig Samsung Evo and then he also has a 2 terabyte hard drive let's just say it's a WD blue all right now his card he's got an EVGA 1080 TI pretty sure it's this top one here for the 1-3 gaming icx so we're gonna add that it's $1000 and then his case it's got a 570 X and power supply EBG a 1,000 watt it's gonna be the supernova I presume the thousand want P to actually the same power supply 280 bucks the monitor let's see if we can add this and he's got 34 40 by 1440 I'm presuming that's what he means by 4k ultra wide cuz I don't know of any 4k ultra lights that are mainstream like this from Asus so let's assume he's talking about 34 40 by 1440 and it's a 34 inch so we're gonna have to kind of just do this manually cuz I don't know what the name of the monitor is he didn't put the model number a 34 inch it's probably this one let's see well there's two of them here it's an rog swift and does he have a picture of it no it is not 4k so soldier white i'm just let's just say it's the more expensive one I'm not sure but it's one of these two 434 inch monitors so let's let's say that one now but you can see here are a total price for this build is this includes the worst case scenario for both the monitor and the RAM is $4,000 that's a lot of money especially for that monitor an $1,100 for the monitor is pretty pretty steep like I said you can get the other 34 inch monitor for a lot less than that on $700 so for this one here 1,100 bucks that's a lot of money that means that our price here is definitely going to be a bit higher than we would expect it to be but the build itself isn't gonna cost any more than about $3,000 and when you go onto a site like Craigslist searching for a PC you might not be looking for a monitor or you might not want to pay MSRP for a monitor at that and that's the thing I want you guys to keep in mind here he's asking for above MSRP by a solid what sixty percent and and this is just you know he it's almost like he's just kind of throwing it out there like oh yeah I'll just see if any suckers gonna come along and pay this and you know from an ethical standpoint I don't agree with it but if you're gonna look at this just from like a bit you know a business standpoint right to make money if you're willing to take advantage of people at least be specific about your components first off and then don't be a jackass in the bottom paragraph where you talk about people who can't afford your system need to go to walmart and spend only three hundred dollars by the way there's some pretty sweet pre-built at Walmart and Best Buy that aren't gonna cost three hundred bucks that might cost six seven eight hundred dollars but they're not gonna break in fourteen months just because something's you know manufactured or sold at Walmart doesn't mean that it's automatically trashed and you can tell he's probably already got a lot of flack for this on face book marketplace and probably even Craigslist on a cell phone just because he is so blunt here about do not give me any BS of oh I can build this myself for this and that he's either admitting guilt right as to why is that he's charging so much he's pretty much admitting that he's charging way more than he should here which is kind of funny and at the same time he's gonna insult you and and you know the preceding sentences here with this just this is just so bad Walley world for $300 if you don't have the cash okay so if you can't afford a six thousand dollar PC all you can afford is a 300 dollar pre-built from Walmart at this point I would just say if you're gonna spend you know two or three thousand dollars on a build like this and then pay another two or three thousand dollar premium because someone else built it for you call in a sick day take one day and lose two hundred bucks from your job and learn how to build a PC so you can save yourself two or three thousand dollars in the long run so you don't fall for like this but here's how it is at the end of the day he can charge whatever he wants for his PC he can charge six thousand dollars he can charge ten thousand dollars would have made for a better video on my part but he can charge whatever he wants the thing is though he might not sell it for the price he's asking and that's the risk he's willing to take he says he doesn't need to sell it and then you know he's pretty upfront about that too so maybe he won't sell it and he'll still be just as happy as he had sold it but I only can be a little more happy if he got an extra $2,000 on top of what he spent to build this thing this is just I can't help but kind of just smirk and laugh at this the way that he portrays himself in the ad is just so bad I I hope that he at least if he watches this video decides to not be a prick in in the description and then maybe he'll have a slightly better chance of selling the PC it's just a turn-off the way he hasn't written but don't go harassing him on Craigslist trying to call him up don't you know try to message him on Facebook marketplace just leave it at this you know I think the exposure here is enough to maybe convince him to reevaluate the way he's trying to sell this PC and at the end of the day this is just more or less a learning process for the rest of us who are willing to just stop and admire the mistakes of other people this one is that this is a pretty big mistake but I guess at the end of the day if he sells that it's not really a mistake for him it's just a mistake for the person who bought it again another reason why this video exists if you like this one if you think this ad is just hilarious and worth the video let me know by giving this one a thumbs up I appreciate it thumbs down for and the opposite be sure to
