Selling 5800x to Friend

[Speedwack]

My friend offered me $120 for my 5800x which would be an upgrade from his 3600x. Does this seem like a fair deal? Not saying it should be worth more, but I’m just wondering if this isn’t a bad offering based on what he has now and other CPUs.

The Ryzen 5 5700X costs $160 and the Ryzen 5 5600 is $120. You can do the math yourself.

Sounds like a fair deal for both sides.

new they are these prices as they are clearing out the old stock....for a used 5800x its about going rates....the 5700x3d is only a 189 dollars

There's two things you want to look at to find out what would be a fair price.

The first is to look at the going rates for used 5700X/5800X CPUs, and base it off that. Maybe take a small portion off if you want to be nice for a friend.

The other is to look at pricing of new components that are the closest equivalent. The 5600 is $5 more than the offered amount, and the 5700X (closest equivalent) is $160. The 5700X3D is $190.

So they offered you $40 less for a used CPU. I'd say that's on the high end of what you should expect, since anything more is too close to make it worth it for them. $100 to $120 sounds fair to me.

First-hand prices are low, but you have to compare with them, otherwise there is no point in second-hand markets.

Sounds like a good price for a used CPU. Motherboards hold their value pretty well but CPU's not so much.

I actually plan to use my b550 towards my dad’s computer. It’s 8 years old now. So a 5600G + 32GB of ram I have will be a nice upgrade for him.

You might be better off buying pops a 5600gt 'cause it's somewhat cheaper (if we're buying new) and performs about the same as a 5600g. Lower base clocks but it turbos higher and they appear to be otherwise the same.

Looks like a fair price based on going sold ebay listings. I see 3 that sold in may for $10 less. Maybe the price has gone up a bit since then but we had Prime day just recently so many of your would be buyers are currently enjoying brand new C.P.Us. 5800x is worth more as brand new of course, but realistically pop's not going to use that amount of processing power.

Seems to be a losing deal though. Ryzen 5800x is selling for $185 brand new right now.

Imagine you just bought one and he offered you this deal: Then we're looking at you losing $65 sunken just by taking this offer. Then you're reinvesting spending $115 just to get part way back to where you were. Seems like you lose $180 worth of here and now value by taking this deal.

That's possibly overthinking it though, and fact of the matter is that the 5800x is better in the hands of a gamer, whereas the 5600gt with its integrated vega graphics is better in the hands of somebody who's just doing his emails and doesn't need a dedicated graphics card sucking down wattage on the electric bill. Might be better for pops. to have a new processor too because it's warranted, although good luck proving that the processor broke if it ever actually comes down to exercising warranty rights.

I was originally gonna use my 5800x for my dad's new computer, but then I realized it doesn't have integrated graphics hence why I'm selling to a friend for $120. I'll look into GT variant you mentioned. I just know he needs a APU processor. He'll even have 32GB of ram that I have left over, so he'll be solid for 8 years for simple computing

Your Dad would most likely be fine with a Ryzen 5500G then

For what they are going for on the used market, yeah thats a good deal, they seem to go for 150 on the low side on marketplace in this area anyway.

100-120 sounds more accurate, given NEW in the box they go for around 160-165 now
