[leo5111]

no this isnt a sale thread. im just seeing when i do go to sell it soon, what is price range to ask for

 

[EarthDog]

lol, just a thread (2 days) ago, you were asking what the best memory is for your current system!

Anyway, taking a quick look at ebay for ya, these are going from around $140 to $200 in recently completed auctions. Depends on if the cooler comes with......

Yeah I've seen them too. It's going into the kid's rig so not going to spend alot. He's running a 3600X, so the little upgrade would be nice, but I'm keeping it cheap. If I grab a 5950X, then I'll give him my 5900X.

150 to high?

 

[Nebulous]

Nope, fair market value, but unfortunately for me....yeah.

 

[freeagent]

Hmm..

I will take a stab at 150USD. I mean.. yes it is a 12 core.. but it is a bit on the slower side these days.. You might be better off just keeping it. I wish I still had my 3600XT

 

[Zerileous]

I mean at $200 you're competing against brand new 5800x and 5600XD3 (for some). For most people one of those is going to be much better. For $150 you're still competing against the a brand new 5600x. I think freeagent is about right, but you'd need to find someone with a budget tight enough to not accept a $50 increase and specific use case where 12 Zen 2 cores outperforms 6 Zen 3 cores (and IMHO most people doing serious production workloads don't care about $150 much less $50).

 

[freeagent]

Zen 3 Literally stomps a mudhole in everything before it.. I kind of felt like a jerk for saying 150, but after reading Zerilous post, maybe 125 would be a bit better..

I would probably just keep it.

 

[Nebulous]

Yeah. Got a friend who has a 3900X and for the price he paid at the time VS what they sell for, he just decided to keep it.
I'm gonna keep my eyes open for a 5950X instead.

Keep it as back-up or try your luck out on the market. OP will like the 5900X tho

 

[freeagent]

After all this time I still want a 5950X.. that 5250 boost is alluring

I was going to do a similar joke. @Nebulous beat me to it.

For the record though, I'll take it for free? No? Go to hell you say? OK. Thank you.

Anyway, since @EarthDog already answered, I figured I could add another joke here. Best of luck to ya.
