I plan on selling my Mac Pro 4,1. Never really sold before And I am never great at setting profitable prices. Was hoping some experts could help.

Here are the specs:

Mac Pro 4,1 flashed to 5,1
CPU: 3.46 hex W3690
GPU: EVGA GTX 780 6GB Vram Modded for Full EFI Boot screen
RAM: 24gb of 1333z OWC
SSD: 480GB Mercury Extreme Pro 6g via Apricorn Velocity Solo x2
SSD #2: 128GB Mercury Electra 6g via Apricorn Velocity Solo x2
HDD: WD Green 3TB
OTHER: Inateck USB 3.0 card (4 slots)
BODY: Great, no blemishes


I used this as an editing rig for about 3-4 months before christmas came early and got a decked out 6,1.

What do you guys think this can go for given all the peripherals, etc?
 
When it comes to buying people are going to price each item in the computer to see if it's a better deal then buying a base 4.1 and adding those parts.

Mac Pro 4.1 Base = $550 (Used)
3.46 hex W3690 = $310 (Used)
EVGA GTX 780 6GB = $750 (For 6GB Version Used)
24gb 1333mhz $225 (New)
480GB Mercury Extreme Pro 6g $400 (New)
128GB Mercury Electra 6g $85 (New)
WD Green 3TB = $75 (New)
Inateck USB 3.0 card = $45 (New)
Apricorn Velocity Solo x2 = $160 x 2 (New)

Total $2,620

Your problem is going to be selling this system with the 6GB video card. It's an expensive card, and people might want to use there own, or get something different. Your best bet is to sell that card separate and the system with stock GPU. This will maximize your return. Without the card you are looking at $1700 to build something similar.

At that point as a shopper I would look at other systems at the $1700 range to see if I can get a better deal, if not, I would come back to yours.

I know that to get a base 4.1 it would cost $550 and $535 to get the same CPU & ram specs without the HDD's. That comes to $1085.

This might help give yo an idea of how shoppers think.
 
Mine just got a valued too, if that can give you an idea of where you are price wise:

Mac Pro 4.1
CPU: 2 x 2,93 Ghz Quad Core (8 Core)
MEMORY: 32 GB DDR3 1066 Mhz
GFX1: GTX 570 1.25 GB GDDR5
GFX2: GT120 512 MB GDDR3
HDD1: Intel X25M 160 GB SSD (In Icybox)
HDD2: 1 TB WD Green
HDD3: 250 GB Seagate
SuperDrive
Bluetooth

It was valued to #1350-$1550 depending on the buyer...
