Used DEALS Are BACK in Fashion.... (March 2019's Parts Hunt)

2019-03-28
ladies and gentlemen what is crackalacking this is the used monthly parts hunt every month where I go out look for those local deals and see if I can get the best price performance money can buy at least in Australia so this month we've already landed an i7 4770k on Facebook marketplace for 90 Aussie dollars that's like somewhere around 65 u.s. dollars off the top of my head absolute bargain now I couldn't call this guy up because on Facebook marketplace a lot of people just don't give out their phone numbers so I had to message him and he replied he said yes but other than that on Facebook marketplace there really isn't much else available there's people selling gaming pcs and other than that we're gonna jump on gumtree right now and see if we can find anything from graphics cards to whole pcs so let's get into it and find them deals so the first deal were pulled up here is a GTX 980 g1 gaming now apparently they've reduced it from 250 ozzie to $200 so we're gonna give them a call and see if they'll take 180 pickup today because this is the address that they've got here is pretty much right on the way to lairs and usually every month ago check out what lasers got if he's got any deals pulled aside for us so I'm sort of making a rout of all the good deals that would be able to be picked up not too far out of my way but at the same time would present a lot of value with this trip that we're gonna make to Brisbane anyway alright so there's no answer there we're just gonna drop the offer in on gumtree itself and also we'll just send them a text message next up here we've got a seller who's got two I 5 op duplexes for sale one with a gigabytes of RAM another with 4 gigabytes of RAM both got 500 you buy hard drives so we offer a hundred flat on the first one and also on the next 180 bucks that way we can get value out of these machines if he accepts so we get two machines for $180 dollars and it might be pretty good value at those price points so now the next three deals we've got up here are all in the same area so if we can land all three of these for a decent price then I will go pick all of them up but if it's just one of the deals that I get then I might cancel it but the first of these three deals that I've pulled up here is an i5 desktop package so it's a lot over a ThinkCentre with a keyboard mouse and monitor they're asking 150 if we can drop it down to 120 and it's an ATX version not a BTX version then we should have a good deal on our hands hi mate is this that computer dude right you must see you got a load of om 72 here for a hundred and fifty bucks a package yeah if I came through today and picked it up could you do us 120 I'm not actually I'm in co-op log but um yeah now I probably didn't do that chase it okay yeah yeah I know mate just just saying if you want to get rid of it or not but yeah I was just wondering - is it a BT X version or an ATX version okay no worries oh yeah mate if you keen on the offer just let us know you got my number so thanks mate wait so they're pretty firm on one hundred and fifty bucks the thing is like I'm pretty sure I can get a better deal off less so we'll go check that out later and of course with less I can get a lot more in box so yeah it's up to him sometimes you don't strike a deal and that's just what hustling is all about next up we've got a gtx 780 Ti here the guys out in Mogul which is around the same area as that desktop PC but my sister does live close so if he does accept a 110 dollar offer on the 780ti then I'll just get her to pick it up and when I meet her next I'll just collect it because yeah this day just kind of like not looking like this trip out that way will be worth it unless of course we can get the next deal here which is a gtx 970 and there are a hundred twenty-five dollars but we're gonna try and drop in an offer of a hundred dollars and yeah if that works out and we've got ourselves a really good deal on a 970 the person you are calling is not available hello is this Bray yeah man I see you've got a GTX 970 here on gumtree right yeah still available or yeah would you would you take a hundred cash pickup I know eyes made uh if you got me number here just give us a call back in our life you can just let us know guys I'm going up to Brisbane that way today so I'm gonna be doing the rounds man so let us know if you're keen on it and I'll come through and get it right yeah no worries thank you but a possibility that who knows I'll get back to you guys if we land that deal and also if the GTX 780 Ti gets back to us - but with that said we're gonna go up to now see less in Brisbane anyway since it's midday and I want to beat traffic because around about 4 p.m. here where I live traffic just gets super chock-a-block so I want to make all the rounds and get back here before traffic gets crazy and on top of that I've got some faulty stuff that I actually have to return to Liz got a faulty monitor some faulty memory as well as a faulty motherboard so let's just jump in the yes 'mobile and then get up there and see what les has got for us try the intervention rain and it is crazy like it's actually really bad I'm actually not driving Shannon is behind the wheel here basically guys the 980 guy got back to me and he said he would take 180 and he's right Niall is too so we're gonna go pick that up right now and this is gonna be a good month haan haan already so we just finished up picking up two really hot deals we got the 4770k for 90 Ozzy this gtx 980 g1 gaming which is pretty much one of the best 980 s you can get for a hundred and eighty Ozzy so this month is already looking so damn good but of course less is just gonna sweeten the deal with us picking up hopefully a heap of OEMs but on that note it's so ironic because yesterday I made a video about use vs. new market and it's that video what I said in that video which is gonna be released after this video so it's a little bit weird but what I said in that video is just so much like a hundred percent valid for what I'm doing here today with the used parts hunt so it's funny so we just got back the traffic was crazy and the deals here so far the best deals on the table gtx 980 g1 gaming 180 Ozzy 4770k we got this for $90 that's such a good deal and these guys were really close to each other like this guy I picked us up first and then went got this and they about five minutes apart and then lasers was only like ten minutes away after that so it was really good how all these deals were close to each other even though I'm about a 50-minute drive up the highway to get to the first point of contact so I'll super happy about that but the guys with the GTX 970 never got back to me and then of course that guy with the desktop package he wouldn't let it go any cheaper but the guy with the 780ti did get back to us and said he would accept 110 Aussie dollars and since he's right around the corner from my sister I might just get her to pick it up and when I see you next month then I can just give her the money and just get that graphics card from her so that'll be really easy and that looks like it's a deal that's in the kitty and then for Less we went and saw him and he replaced the samsung monitor the faulty one with this one right here and he also replaced some faulty dim sticks with some of these right here but then some of the other deals I ended up getting off him was an i-5 2400 package here with I think is 4 gigabytes RAM and 500gb hard drive for $100 $1 and the reason he did me this one a little bit cheaper was because it had some scuffed damage on it so he couldn't sell it as an office PC or anything like that and then he had an i5 3470 PC with 4 gigabytes of RAM and 500gb hard drive and he did this for a hundred and twenty-five ozzie dollars as well so that was really good so far and then to top that off he threw in two monitors here for 50 Ozzie dollars so a 22 inch Dell and also a 19 inch Dell monitor as well so that's two monitors and two pcs for I think off the top of my head 275 dollars Ozzie which would make it a lot cheaper in u.s. so so far this parts hunt is looking really good but for some reason I still have a little bit of an itch to scratch where I need to get some more deals I don't know if I'm completely satisfied because you guys are gotta let us know in the comments below do you think these Toula No those were good or do you think they were learn know goes so going into last night I was looking for some deals and I found a GTX 670 and I offered them 40 Aussie dollars so they were asking for 50 I said 40 they said sure but they'll busy yesterday so I can check it out today and hopefully go pick that up and that's really good news because I do have a 79 50 that I got for $40 as well and it's 2019 so I can see a really cool video coming from that very soon for you guys but also there's a case and power suppliers it's pretty mediocre but they wanted $50 for alpha 30 and of course the power supply alone goes brand-new for I think over $40 so that's gonna be a pretty good case and power supply for a budget build and then lastly I went and offered $30 for a Coolermaster cosmos case so hopefully that gets through we will update later because there's a couple of things I want to talk to you guys about right now about the market so looking around at used parts and also new parts where I did a video on dedicated deals towards Ozzie's for new parts it is clearly like now is such a good time to be building a PC because the prices of parts have come down to the point where they're just some of the best deals I've ever seen and if we contrast this to last year when we had the cryptocurrency boom I think it's just a balance where last year you had it was way out of whack it was way out of balance over the top this time it's sort of pulling back in the other way where it's kind of I feel under where it should be so it's a great time to pick up new parts use parts are we making a dedicated video towards that however but the one thing is we've seen here today is I know a lot of you guys already follow it but it's the code of discipline do not get emotionally attached to any of the deals you only get it I mean in my opinion should only get emotionally attached to people that show you emotions that's family friends loved animals and that stuff but when it comes to these deals it's just a product it's just offer a price if the guy says no if they know you in the cases we saw today then just forget about it I mean the guy got back to me about one of the pcs and he said look would you take 85 and I'm like no because it's a Dell motherboard it's gonna be completely useless I'm gonna be able to utilize that thing in another build so I got better deals off less in my opinion so I left that one sitting there there was also that desktop package out of the way and also that GTX 970 where I've really said in the past you can get an RX 574 gigabyte for cheaper and I think it's actually gonna perform better than a 970 or they may be roughly the same but anyway $100 vs. is 125 dollars I know which one I'm gonna be taking personally anyway guys I satisfy my used parts addiction and go pick up those PC parts so just got back now from getting the next round of deals and this is the GTX 670 we've got this 440 huzi dollars I think that's a brown about 30 USD so that's really great for the comparison between that and the old-school 7950 can't wait to bring that to you guys behind that is three rx5 70's pick them up off king of the coast on the way back and he still had some I was like you know can i pick three of these up he's like sure so got them for a hundred and ten Aussie dollars each and then we've got here this is that case and power supply combo that we picked up so 30 Ozzie dollars not bad I mean this is sort of just have to put that back had a DVD Drive and inside it's got a one of those thermal tape power supplies that retail for like forty five dollars I think so again the values pretty good there so overall we have a lot of different parts here on the table that I am happy with I'll tally up the whole haul and let you guys know the prices right here just a little bit late at the moment I'm a little bit tired can't do math too well but let's sit down and also recap this month's parts on and now here we are closing up this month of March 2019 with an absolute victory but it's not only a victory in the used past it's also a massive victory in my opinion for new parts as well as we saw with those eBay deals for Aziz even in the US this 8 cores going really cheap and on eBay in America at the moment there's things like rx for 80s going for ridiculously cheap like 70 US dollars or something like that so there is so many good deals to be had right now if you're waiting to get on the latest rise in 3000 series then that's amazing like if you're looking for that best performance from AMD but if you're just looking to get into gaming at the moment then you can just get into gaming really cheap if you want even want to get new parts or you want to get used parts it is just the era it is back ladies and gentlemen it is back it is time to be building a PC because the value is just there I mean look at that 4770k I haven't seen a 4770k go that cheap ever and pick one up 490 Aussie dollars GTX 980 180 bucks and it's like one of the best gtx 980 you can get i got a case i got some lenovo is there I've got some monitors it is just great time I'm just loving this month it's been one of the most fun months to do of course I had a bit of an addiction I guess I had some budget left over and I wanted to clean up some more parts and I even managed to do that just with a quick hustle last night then went picked those parts up today but also to top everything off I got my sister to go pick up the GTX 780 Ti classified they got that for a hundred and ten Aussie dollars that is just one of the best 7080 eyes you can get as well that's gonna go really well in a gaming PC so I'm looking forward to putting together some awesome used Christ performers for you guys with all that aside I hope you guys have been enjoying this month's use parts hunt if you did then be sure to hit that like button also let us know below in the comments what was your favorite deal off today
