    Need to price 2nd hand hardware

    Wasn't sure exactly where to post this and figured this was the most relevant forum...

    My Dad has an 8 year old pc and i'm building him a new one, half of it is being made up of 2nd hand parts from my old machines. He's willing to pay for the 2nd hand components i'm putting into it, but not that much. Basically I have no idea how much to actually charge him for the 2nd hand components i'm putting in, so i was hoping you could help

    CPU: AMD Athlon 2800+
    Mobo: Aopen AK79D 400Max (400fsb, nforce2 chipset etc.)
    RAM: 1GB Generic DDR400
    GFX Card: GeForce 3 Ti200

    I was thinking around the £100 mark for it and spoke to a few people i know and they thought i could get a bit more for it.

    If anyone could put a reasonable price down i should be charging for that it'd be much appreciated.

    Thanks very much.

    Based on ebay prices:

    XP 2800+ £45
    1Gb DDR400 £40

    Not sure about the other components but as a rough guess, the whole lot would be worth £115. Mind you that is mainly due to the inflated price of Athlon XP CPUs, which compared to modern processors would be worth £20-£25. I certainly wouldn't pay £45 for the XP 2800+ but someone stuck on the Socket A platform might do since they are limited on upgrade options. So all things considered, £100 might be a fair price.
