Hardware - CPUs
144 clean eBay UK sold comps put the Ryzen 5 3600 on a rock-flat median of £49.99, and a bundled cooler adds about £5 to that. Here is the real buy price for a flipper, and why the textbook formula overshoots on a chip this cheap.
Hardware - CPUs
The graphics card decides almost everything about how a gaming PC actually feels to play, so it deserves the lion's share of the budget. Here's how much CPU you genuinely need beside it, and when paying more for either one stops being worth it.
Hardware - Graphics Cards
24 clean eBay UK sold comps put the MSI GTX 1070 8GB on a median of £78.54, gently softening across the spring. Here is the catch: at this price the margins are pennies, so the flip only works if you buy low and buy in volume. This is the number to pay.

126 clean eBay UK sold comps put the RTX 2080 Ti 11GB on a median of £216.12, softening gently across the spring. The real story is the spread: the same card sold anywhere from £126 to £340, so which 2080 Ti you buy matters more than the model name.

43 clean eBay UK sold listings put the used RTX 3060 12GB on a rock-steady median of £212.54, and the trend has barely moved in ten weeks. Here is the twist: the 12GB is outselling its own RTX 3060 Ti, and here is the price a flipper should actually pay.

209 clean eBay UK sold comps put the RTX 3070 8GB on a median of £202.56, drifting gently down. The kicker: this faster card now sells for less than an RTX 3060 12GB. Here is the buy price that makes it a brilliant build base.
Hardware - Cases
A cheap panoramic case with six ARGB fans can make a budget build photograph like something twice the price, right up until the fan noise, cable spaghetti, and RGB wiring quietly eat your margin.

Storage gaps are cheap to explain away internally, but buyers often read them as a sign the build is unfinished.
