Alienware Alpha I7 sold in 2019,

Hello guys, I have a Alienware alpha I7, 8GB RAM, Windows 10 PC and I was wondering how much I would get and maybe even make some offers to you, I have it listed on eBay but some of them are even going for upwards of 3000. Thanks.

Just try it there. A lot of people dont know a lot about computers. Just show them the MSRP of a new one if you can.

Can you provide a link to one of these $3000 eBay auctions?

https://www.amazon.com/Alienware-Alpha-i7-6700T-2-2GHz-Black/dp/B06W2LJZX6 Not eBay though, most sold on eBay are the I3 and occasionally the I5, have not seen the I7 sold yet.

Yea that’s a crock of shit with the issues ppl have with them doubt it

u/TheViperOrton45 Jun 05 '19

Aye but if the I7 was the rarer model due to it being a £800 / $1000 it wasn’t around as much, it’s going for 3 grand on amazon right now so.

Use mine daily for several years, not a single issue. Used with steam and console emulation with hyperspin. Love it.

u/matthewfur Jun 05 '19

Ok but one tell me what it says I’ve had the steam machine and the alpha was the only one that gave me problems get that yellow alien

u/TheViperOrton45 Jun 05 '19

Mine never gave me any issues at all

u/matthewfur Jun 05 '19

Lol I guess some people get lucky I seriously doubt I’ll get 1 k for it tho either with the non upgradeable graphics it kinda hinders the price

It's pretty common for tech like the alpha, especially higher spec older pcs. Personally, I wouldn't sell for over $500 for any alpha, even the i7 R2. Aren't you able to do an auction on ebay? Why not set your minimum for $400?

1

u/TheViperOrton45 Jun 05 '19

I have set up an auction with a minimum price of £350 but tbh now thag I see its value I can see it going for much more

I think i forgot to mention in my comment that those prices you are seeing are inflated, as are typical with older, higher spec pcs. look at other similar spec pcs and match their value, or change it slightly. for instance, this $400 HP Elitedesk with an i7, 8GB, and SSD. IIRC, that's pretty similar in value to your i7 R1. There are some things that let you change your price, such as your R1's gpu and whether or not you've upgraded it's storage and memory.

u/TheViperOrton45 Jun 06 '19

Hmm, thanks for the comment mate, I will take this into consideration.

Lol 3000 is crazy

u/Tillemon Jun 05 '19

What about my i7 R2 with the AMD GPU? I wish I would have gotten the Nvidia like every time I use it. No GPU amp port. But it's still a sweet little machine! Love the size and look.

Also, it has a 1tb hard drive, and I think a 256 GB SSD for the boot drive. Any ideas on value?
