Moving is a pain, I don't do it any more, I mean I move, but I leave the city at least a day before and come back days later when its all done.

[The_Munchmaster]

Any time I've moved, and not necessarilly to another country, I've left all the small things, and things I don't want, outside my apartment with a sign telling anyone who wants anything to help themselves. Everything has gone every time.

As a starving student, I thought these things should still have some value as I've only used them 5 months and have taken very good care of them. Every 100 Baht I can make back from them is another meal for me. If you want to buy something substantial like the computer or microwave we can negotiate and I'll throw in the lower priced stuff for nothing. On average, I'm asking about 50%-80% less than the new price. If this stuff is not sold by the time I leave, I will give it away.

 

As for the hair straightener, something my girlfriend recently bought - she uses it on occasion and would like to keep it but none of these 220V appliances will work in Canada. We paid 400 baht for it new.

The computer isn't worth 22,000 baht. You can have a new one made with better specs for less. You've got to be realistic when selling an old computer. 25% of it's purchase price if it's a year old is more realistic.

Then make me an offer! Also, I'd be interested in seeing a computer for sale in Thailand with better specs for less. I have compared new computers at local shops selling for 25000+ with specs that don't come close to the one I am selling. 19" LCD monitors usually sell for 10,000+ alone and the new 250GB disk cost me 2200+. To compare, I just spec'd out a similar setup (using lower quality components where something similar wasn't available) at http://www.jib.co.th/ (This is where I bought the new hard disk at Pantip Plaza and I found they had the best prices in the mall). The system came to 28,000 and that's without a case, fans, keyboard or mouse which are worth at least 3,000 more. So my starting price is about 9,000 less than the best price I can find for a similar system, which I think is a pretty good deal.

It doesn't matter if you think it's a good deal, it's second hand.

 

Peoples expectations of the value of their second hand belongings and what others will actually pay for them are usually quite far apart, as I have discovered on more than one occassion.

 

You just have to bite the bullet and accept that you're not going to get what you think things are worth.

It doesn't matter if you think it's not a good deal either then does it? I think my prices are fair and like I said I am open to offers. Since posting these ads yesterday I have already sold the table, chair, iron, kettle, and 3 power strips (yes someone happily paid 50 baht each for them), so I am happy and I have 3 happy buyers. These things may not have significant value to you but I am sure they do to someone else. I have already proven that a comparable computer system is worth much more than my asking price, and it doesn't seem like you know much about the value of a quality desktop computer if you still think I am asking way too much. This is no ordinary Acer or HP system with a low end motherboard, graphics card and small hard disk that you will typically find for sale at a department store. I have invested well over $2300cdn mostly over the last year for the components in this system, so my asking price is around 25% of the original value as you suggested is appropriate. Please stop crapping on my thread unless you are interested in actually buying something.

[wonderlust]

You could build a new system here with the same specs for half your asking price:

New 19" BenQ can be bought for 8000 baht so at most it's worth 5000 second hand.

 

In total it's worth about half what your asking for it but that's not an offer as I already have a PC with better specs.
