If you’re building or upgrading a PC on a budget, chances are you’re looking into the used market. But just how much cheaper is a PC built entirely on eBay?

12:20 "No but I did use a few tweezers" Anthony's outdone himself again, I'd say he's on the Verge of getting promoted.
this deserves more likes..
But where is the swiss army knife that hopefully has a screwdriver in it ?
when talking to Anthony, 'tweezers' means 'zip ties', 'zap-straps' or 'cable ties'.
Dont say "verge" please :/
Nice pun
You know what linus, when you're not a tech company those 3 extra sata cables are nice to have.
Big facts.
Ikr? He’s so absurdly condescending like, all the time. Drives me fucking nuts
@@christianmccauley7340 if you build pc’s, then you have lots of SATA cables lying around. Motherboards usually come with 4 sata cables each, and that means that if you upgrade your motherboard, you’ll have an abundance of extra sata cables. They really aren’t hard to come across by

When you bought a $1500 PC thinking it was expensive and then Linus says bang for the buck and starts listing out your pc
he also paid $1000 new and $750 used
Bang for the buck simply means good for the price
So a bang for the buck pc would be something like this
2700x
32GB 3200Mhz Ram
1070
Ect
A non bang for the buck would include a 2080ti as that crap is an overpriced gimmick at the moment
Another example would be £300 for 32GB of ram as that is £100 more expensive than a comparable kit
@@azumag4432 You don't seem to understand what "bang for the buck" means. It doesn't mean cheap. It means the most value for the money spent.
1000 cans of corn for $5 is a great bang for your buck. 1 can of corn for 1 lobster for $5 is a bang for your buck.
The 1000 cans of corn are worth more than the 1 lobster, but they're both a bang for your buck since you're maximizing your dollar to get what you want.
Come on down and buy some corn or *WE WILL SACRIFICE YOUR NEWBORN* AUGGGH

Loved the eye roll when you see him thinking about the following drop tips memes.
That eye roll was so hard I dropped my phone!
Idd, I'm almost surprised the editors didn't add in a "omg the comment section is going to go crazy about this..." thought bubble during the eye roll ^^
Intel Xeon 8180 and Gravity
Linus: "We limited ourselves to buy now"
Bar on top of 1070 ti listing: "You won this auction"
last time i bought on ebay it said the same on items i got through buy now, thats just a generic response/note to inform you already purchased that item at that price frm that seller. If the seller is selling more than just one and still has active auctions for same price after your initial purchase.
Some auction items allow buy it now options.
I saw that to lol
8:15 When he started saying "speaking of..." I almost skipped 10 seconds :D
He obviously used the "buy it now" option that some sellers put into their live auctions. I have used that numerous times, and it will state that "you won this auction" when you click it. I can see you have not come across it, but it's a thing.
If you think about it, packing it with the windowed panel on the back is better. This way the open side of the case actually has some structure during shipping, instead of just a window.
*Linus rolls eyes knowing the many comments that are to follow* 😂
Legit lost my shit when I saw his reaction to tumbling the PSU. lmfao

Almost 2 years later and this is the exact build i went with the end of 2020. couldnt be happier and ive only just found this video
8:23 from $49.95 down to $51 bargain lmao
The heatsink was also more expensive...
Oof
Well don't forget free shipping, when you buy off amazon for example you don't always get free shipping, so even if it's priced lower you can sometimes end up still paying more than buying it off ebay.
Same at 6:08 $22 to $24
The PSU isnt even added into the total. With it, it would be ~$792
That 'ghetto jank ebay PC" is much better than mine. Thanks for that.
They actually bought the components I run on my rig (1600X and 1070Ti) I was quite surprised
Oh cmon a real jank pc has; power supply in there with no screws, nothing in one of the front 5 and a quarter slots, instead of cable managment it has cable anarchy

Some of these deals were really good! $200 for a 500W EVGA power supply is a good deal. $80 for a B450-Plus motherboard is good. *$299 for a EVGA GTX 1070 Ti is an insane deal from a 2022 perspective!* This 2019 eBay PC has more GPU power than my current PC.
Moral of the Story: Don't just buy everything from one place/website, shop around for the best deal.
Alpaka Whacker I feel like they didn't get any used parts, which is where I got a couple hundred off my 1080ti. This wasn't a great ebay build lol
@@gondolagripes1674 That's because you don't buy used parts, ever. So they bought the least-used stuff they could find.
If you'd just buy the gpu second hand you'll save 150 instead of 250. I'd rather buy all the other stuff from 1 vendor, buy a second hand gpu and spend 100 dollars extra

He saved a lot using "buy it now"...enough to upgrade both his CPU and GPU to a higher SKU while still staying within the Price Picker budget he committed to if he chose to(which he should have done to show the inherent superiority of using eBay). He did clearly point out that he could have saved even more by scavenging in auctions. I don't understand your comment.
"with just a 6 core CPU and one graphics card."
Boi.
It’s never enough for Linus. He’s used to $10000 PC’s. Only the best
i'm still kinda fresh into my i5 7400 and i'm plenty satisfied. My gtx 960 4gb sure is getting long on the tooth but money is a problem. Any relevantly faster card is like 1600 of my currency and i only make 2200 a month. So... sticking with it!

Damn it, beat me to it.
I built my rig from entirely eBay parts, and it is in fact a very kick ass rig. well, for the time. It's got an ROG rampage v extreme motherboard, 2 RX 480's (strix and msi), an engineering sample 22 core xeon cpu, cooler master v8 GTS cpu cooler, 2 SSD's (i forgot their brands), 16g of DDR4 Vengence lp ram (needed lp ram to fit under the cooler), EVGA 750 GQ power supply and a cooler master HAF 912 case. pretty damn solid rig, it'll take whatever i throw at it without breaking a sweat.
Just did the same thing and spent £450, i7 2700k with a GA-P67A-UD3 so older rig, 16gb of ddr3, ssd drive and a 1070ti. Oc the turbo to 5.4ghz. max stress temp of 65c. First ever build and I'm super happy!
5:07 Jesus Christ the shipping is like equivalent to the PSU asking price
Canada problem eh!
Shipping from US is stupidly expensive for some reason. I live in Europe and wanted to buy coilover suspension for my car for 300 USD, that was until I noticed the shipping would've cost me another 260 USD. Like what?? Do they want to hand deliver the package or something? Even shipping a phone to EU would typically cost anywhere from 60 to 120 USD. This is stupid. During my 30 odd purcases from e-bay 29 of them were posted from China for free. On a single occasion I had to pay 3 USD for postage and that's it so far. US postage is stupid.
Ebay's Global Shipping Program charges an arm and a leg for shipping to Canada. Doesn't matter what it is or how far, you're in for at least $50 between the shipping and import taxes, and then there's sales tax on those taxes too probably, it's madness.
We use couriers here to cut that shipping price down a lot. To ship to my country direct, cost more than the product most of the time
@@d3_sempai ya, problem is you usually don't get a choice in the matter, GSP is basically mandatory.

6:05 So it saved you -$2
seems legit
Actually, with the 12 dollars for shipping he spent $10 extra
mmm mm. Getting sub par condition parts for some extra dosh sounds like a good deal to me!
He didnt save $2 he spent more for it
The slash goes through the price and the non slashed is price you pay for it
So if something says £22 with a slash and then the unslashes number is £24 you payed £2 more than it should be
thats what he meant by -2
and saved -$1 at 8:25
This is quite cool, I mean, all the important pieces seemed to be at pretty good deals, this made me rethink of ebay tbh, thanks.

What do you mean by barebone?
@@Mavis847 Generally speaking, a barebones kit is a case and a few components (eg., motherboard, cpu, and power supply) but won't come with an hard drive or maybe memory. Its meant to get you a base so you can pick the components you would want to spend more on to upgrade anyway

The 980ti has kept a high value because it's the last graphics card (excluding the Titan X Maxwell) to have a Analog out via DVI. A lot of retro enthusiasts who still use high end CRT monitors are still buying them.
The 1660ti has dvi outputs though. Mid end cards will probably still come with them.
@@C4CH3S yes but it's a digital dvi outup only aka dvi-d. Look up dvi-i vs dvi-d. The 4 extra pins on dvi-i carry the analog signal.
samysnes meh. Around here you buy the latest generation of graphics card because they fucking never drop ;_; I tried to put togheter a similar setup and the 1070 ti is (the cheapest one!) 400 euro. Now, the 1660 ti is only 290, and that's great value because... it's the same price as the 1060. I hate shopping for video cards.
Displayport to VgA adapter?
Adam Musgrove - It’s digital though. The 980Ti sends analog signal. It’s a CRT thing.
Thank you for the nice jazz in the background. I'm doing homework and its very chill.
EBay has a lot of storefronts for brick and mortar stores and the big tech websites too. I recently bought a motherboard and some case fans from ebay from retailers that had them priced higher on their own websites, even on black friday. I managed to save hundreds of dollars by shopping around, as opposed to my initial budget according to RRP. Ebay can be a great tool when you shop smart.

Hey Linus. Great video. I am rocking an Ebay build myself. It is OLD and i am already doing upgrade research/pricing. (Ebay Build Basics- i7 3770k, Asus P8Z77-V-LK, 32 GB 1866 Corsair Vengeance, GeForce Windforce 3GB 1060, DIYPC 3 RGB fan side glass case...plus more) ,While it can be a chance buying anything ONLINE let alone Ebay, I can say it is usually pretty straight forward sales. I even got factory warranty on a gforce 9 series once. Yea, my build is at end life cyce for upgrades, But still runs all modern games at meduim to high with 60 or more FPS. This beast of a build may be old, but ALIVE running strong, and still kicking.
I too sell on ebay. I have for may years now with a seller rating of 98.7 % which is awesome considering how many sales I have logged (i will share the reasons for under 100% in my tips below-(section 2b).....Allow me to share some key....KEY shopping tips.
1. Set search results to show at 200 per page. Makes looking around ALOT easier.
2. ALWAYS CHECK - Price Low to High, Buy it Now, Free Shipping, US SELLER only ( YES, may pay more but A LOT faster shipping and EASIER returns if ever needed.) You should have parts within 2 to 5 days if done correctly.
2a. BEFORE YOU BUY look at estimated delivery date, if it shows 2 or more weeks from anywhere on U.S. soil....it is a scam from overseas that has grown 100 fold over the last few years now. An overseas seller will set a listing as U.S. seller, then toss on boat to cross ocean next day.
2b. BEFORE YOU BUY, look at sellers reputation. They can NOT DELETE bad reviews, only THE PERSON who wrote it can (even Ebay will not do it for a seller)...On Ebay the reviews never lie...BUT....if you see 20 great reviews, and one or 2 bad it is OK! Prolly bad hardware, box drops in shipping, or buyer that did not know exactly what to do before trying to build a PC.
3. If you see weird spelling in an item's description be wary of an overseas seller.
4. IF EVER IN DOUBT, UTILIZE THE MESSAGE SYSTEM!!!! Solid sellers will respond and answer ANY question(s) you have.
I hope this helps someone out there. Good luck on the next Ebay build my fellow gamers. I hope to see you in a launch lobby soon.

well its a good ghetto pc i have a gtx 1070 to oc from with an amd fx 8320E OC thats pretty ghetto but pretty good for gaming and recording But i want more power i need a better cpu ... it never end .
oh yeah and the mother board is a simp^le M5 A95 R2.0
I think it is because it came from eBay
bought my 1070Ti from Ebay and it's the best choice I made. $261 including shipping.
For Linux, threadraper is low end CPU...
Watching on 9/2021, wishing I could go back in time
Watching these kind of older videos is kinda funny. Like a used 2tb hdd being $49 and a “great deal” cracks me up along with the expensive sata ssd
9:32 ‘limited ourselves to only But it now products’
What’s that I see?
‘You won this AUCTION’!!!
Linus, more like Lienus!
The few times i have purchased from eBay normally say won when i purchased with buy now
Practically doubled the price of every part for shipping.
What a great deal!
Welcome to Canada... it’s what we have to deal with :(

Every single person was expecting him to say "and maybe I'm going to tell you guys all about it... right after I yell you about our sponsor" but nope he just showed it to us. Lmaooo
8:26 So the eBay option was more expensive than normal stores?
Yeah, I noticed the cooler and the SSD showed them paid more.
Harmkees 03 my guess is they just looked up good deals on eBay and it turns out that they were cheaper elsewhere
I mean.... that sorta makes sense considering that people/companies selling on ebay need to pay upto 10% in ebay fees plus upto 4% on PayPal fees. Plus the SSD wasn't even bought used from some random seller, it was new from a genuine company that was selling on ebay. If that company had their own website, chances are the SSD would have been cheaper buying direct from the companies site rather than through ebay.
They address this at 13:52

4:32 Because it wouldn't be a Linus Tech Tips video without Linus dropping something 😂
Linus: “Ghetto, jank”.
Me still using a Pentium:
I feel your pain
i use an intel i5

@@thecaptainnoodles that's not ghetto
I've sometimes bought upgrades on eBay since I'm not in a big rush... just depends yeah .. I also bought direct from the manufacturer's ebay page in the past too
I bought my parts from eBay came to 450 bucks
550 psu evga
500 gig hdd with windows 10 pro installed already (I upgraded recently)
24 gigs of ram (was a bundle I use 16)
An evga 1060 3gig
A gigabyte mother board no clue the actual name.
An i7 4690
A master cooler heat sink for CPU cooling,
And 4 led fans.
Mother board and a midsized tower case came in a bundle.
It has been going very strong for a while now.
Nice. Oh and I think you meant i5 4690 unless you meant 4790? As 46xx would be an i5 and 47xx is i7.
No gpu?
@@grimhunter42 Intel HD graphics mate
Lok¡ the EVGA 1060 3GB is his gpu hes not using intel graphics
That sounds like a nice build
Around 6:00 XD
It says 22 normally, but on ebay its way lower at 24!! Such deal!
RedTipAlpha am here to see if anyone else noticed😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
He literally said some parts were more expensive
This video inspired me t build a second hand pc, and it is great for the value. Thanks
How's it goin
All I ever bought from Ebay for my PC was my EVGA 500B PSU used only because I could tell it wasn't fake and even confirmed with the seller that it was in great working order and its lasted me ever since.
Just know what to look for and research parts you are familiar with.
Ebay isn't nearly as good as having generous PC building friends. My buddy sold me his GTX 1070 for $140 when he upgraded to a 1080, back in 2017 right before prices went mental.
haha your not wrong my nephew just got his first pc. with and i5 9600k strix 1080 16gb trident z and a strix z370 for $700 Australian. if he built it himself at rrp it would have been over 2k
Lucky bastard. That being said my Powercolor Red Devil RX 480 8GB has never really let me down. I paid only $285 for mine back when GPU prices were ridiculous.
Lucky for my friends I was the one that sold on my GPU. gtx 970 for £80
@CyberCloudz Australian dollars, take that to account.
@CyberCloudz I clearly wrote $700 Australian. Not to mention i didn't list case, Storage, Cooler and peripherals. The motherboard he was given is still $350 in the Australian market and the ram is not far off. maybe next time read the comment completely before replying.
4:33 for eyeroll. Make it a meme
