I decided to try out something new on selling computers on eBay, and thats looking at people who sell custom builds, and spec them a little bit more, and charge a little bit less. So here are the new list of computers I am selling. One is an auction, 7 are buy it now, with 5 in each. Please let me know of thoughts, improvements etc, as I am just getting started with my eBay business.
The list of computers are here.

maybe you could put links on the ebay page to other product info (like a newegg page) and actually tell us the name and model of the mobo.
 
Your listings seem very clear and thorough.
My only suggestion would be to offer a range of cases to your customers,
and possibly to open up an eBay store - you can organise your systems into catagories etc and start to build a reputation.
This is me speaking from my experience of selling computer parts on eBay UK.
 
Indeed, I plan to open up a store within the next month or so. On the cases, I will definitely start adding the options to change cases in the next batch of PCs I put on.

I do have a question though, on the stores, do you pay less to list items or not pay at all?
 
I think if you got a cheap case that screams the "Custom" pc look. Such as the NZXT cases, or something along those lines that aren't a hefty price.

That would catch some eyes
 
Yeah, or the NZXT Apollo to save yourself money. You'd be surprised at how many people would buy a computer just by the looks of the case.
 
Oh nice, thanks for the info, ill revise one computer later this evening, and implement one of these cases. :)

It's a good buy those cases my Hack Pro is using one and woza slap two apple stickers on each side and you have a Mac Pro at your feet. But for gaming why 8500GT sell a 8800GTS 512mb or 8800GT 512mb GDDR3

Um..I wouldn't recommend those cases.

How about:

Lian Li-7B for high end models:

Rosewill case for medium priced models:

This thing for low end models:

And if you're gearing towards gamers, maybe look into the Elite 330:

I would stay away from the flashy cases unless it is specifically geared towards those kind of people..
 
The 8500GT is for the cheap gaming PC, to keep the final price low. Those cases you showed me diduouknowthat are quite nice, I had the elite 330, don't know why I never considered one, I particularly like that cheap case, I like how its set out inside.
 
Most people look at those flashy windowed cases though.. honestly, think about it.. if you were not literate about computers and saw that picture in the listing, you wouldn't think that looks too much like a custom computer would you?

Maybe its just the way i look at things lol.
 
Once I open my store ill have a mix of them all. I will have a flashy case on a cheaper PC also soon.
 
I don't really understand what you're doing, do you actually have all those computers? You seem to be changing specs on a whim and you only have stock photos.

And if you're just listing them to see if they'll sell, isn't that wasting a lot of money for the listing fees?
 
What I do is when people order the PC, I order the parts, build it up and ship it out, so the customer is free to change parts, upgrade, downgrade etc, which ill be setting up fully with the store. The eBay listing fee's are a bit expensive, but with the store, prices will be lower, so in result, I can list more. Once I get some orders in, ill replace stock photos with actual photos of one of the built systems.
