    I would say your local facebook groups is better than Marketplace or Ebay cash on collection only.

    However, if you do put it on facebook block everyone that says "what is your best price" "can you post" "send my brother/sister/uncle/aunt/courier around" & "paypal" normally using the word "item" & make sure someone is with you when the person picks it up & check the cash before you let them leave with your PC.

    Is paypal not secure or is it risky for charge back?
    Thx

    I sell and buy on gumtree. Cash in hand for smaller and bank transfer for larger. Avoid the scammers wanting it posted. Face to face. Test on collection. (edited)

    What is your pc unit? Big difference selling a £1000 machine vs something now worth £30.
    It will sell anywhere if priced attractively, and sell nowhere if you think it is worth more than it is or if you don't list the full spec..

    I've added the specs.

    That is a nice spec. Which motherboard is it?
    Kudos for using Noctua. I absolutely hate case fan noise and would also prioritize Noctua over a jump in performance.
    Do you have any suitable packaging for postage? How much did you think you could sell it for?
    I have always sold mine on Ebay but I know jameshothothot says go for Gumtree. I have never had an issue and think I get a better price on Ebay, but I guess Gumtree etc means once they give you cash then you are rid of any responsibility / risk.
