so for a while now a lot of my peeps my fam my homies my bees well they've been asking me for a while now to make an ultimate used parts buyer's guide and today it finally cometh to he who requested welcome back to tech yet city this is brand commit to you guys today with a video on used PC parts buying and now this is not going to be a generic how to simple tricks and what not this is just going to be my main tips and points for how I do things and I want to share that with you guys so with that being said let's get on with trick number one broaden horizon this is the first and probably the biggest point I need to stress when you're looking for those use deals when you're searching for the use parts try to have a flexible budget and say if you want to make a 1080p high settings rig then instead of just going for a particular set of parts say for instance a 2500 KZ 67 mobo and 7950 only and that's all you want instead of just going for those parts broaden the horizon go check out an i5 760 overclock it get a 79 70 instead or gtx 680 check out some other gtx six cards or even 7 series AMD cards and look for bargains in a number of categories to fit together a gaming pc that will work if you are just looking for one particular part then chances are you going to be either looking for a long time or you're just not going to get a deal at all point number two suss out the seller this mainly applies for the internet and buying deals online where you get the items posted to you and you have to essentially trust the seller an easy way to get around this is to get real pictures of the product and also get a pic of the product confirm working if possible one big telltale of a broken part listed is working is confirmed working when I last foot took the PC apart or when I used it X months ago it was confirmed working this is pretty suspicious in my opinion if you've used the PC a month ago or if it was working then it works right you just say it works because when you last used it it worked and unless you know meteors crashed in your house and burn the PC part into smithereens PC parts quite simply work or they don't work and look for people with listing them as such also another tip here is just check out the sellers feedback look for any glaring negatives that are left there say for instance someone got a pot and it just didn't work at all and then check the listing and it was working then you know that seller might be flipping some dodgy stuff also on that note if you're picking up stuff you know from Craig's List or you're going to pick up stuff off gum tree where you actually can see it then that's a lot safer you know people aren't generally going to lie because you've got their phone number and if they are scamming you you can report them to the police straight up so generally you're not going to get scammed for you know IRL deals as opposed to the Internet point number three you're going to get hosed when you're dealing with used parts there is always going to be people who are going to pull shady like that one bad apple in the bunch I've been hosed in the past before with dead CPUs even the next 79 motherboard that I paid around $80 for and it was completely burnt like toast this thing was useless and I didn't know until after the auction but the seller was using someone else's photos for that motherboard that they just ripped off Google and now putting it in place of their own photos had I'd seen the real photos man I would have stayed away from this motherboard with a ten-foot pole but that's the way with the use parts market you're going to get some really good deals from time to time but at the same time you can expect to get hosed sooner or later but pretty much the sum that out belong you're dealing use parts the more likely you are to get high there's going to be sellers out there who are just straight-up scamming or there's people out there redrawing the line for instance a PC that is working with the hard disk drive that literally is near death I mean I've seen it all here folks but let's look at the last point point number four keep on hustling this is the most important part of getting a deal you call a guy it's sold move on if not see how he or she responds and go from there this is where experience will play a big role in getting those deals especially when it comes to bartering the right price though also on this note if you pick up parts you don't have to always build a PC with them for instance I got a next 79 gigabyte ud7 practically new for around about 160 USD now this board is selling on eBay for 450 USD with no accessories so instead of putting this in a build I'm just going to sell it anyway guys I hope you enjoyed today's guide I hope I brought a unique perspective to PC parts honey and remember anything's possible out there so just get on those websites get on those deals wherever you can get the deals from keep on hustling and if you like this video -
