 You guys are in for an amazing video at least I think so. So before you guys watch this is a competition and collaboration between myself, the Toasty Bros, Tech Bank, Tech Always, and Budget Tech. We all had one month starting with a 660ti graphics card to take that card and flip it and see how much money we could make or how many upgrades we could make in one month time. The challenge started on September 13th and ended on October 13th. That's all the information I'm going to give you. The content should speak for itself and I encourage all of you guys to check out everyone's video to see who you think did the best. So thank you guys so much for watching this video and enjoy. So here we have it. 660ti. So first day already able to liquidize the card. I'm gonna have around $55 something like that in cash. Gonna go head over to the post office now. Gonna go make some money. Okay so after all the fees from eBay I have $64.51 and now after the shipping cost because I paid for the postage through eBay's website I have $55.25 to work with so now is where the challenge actually starts. Okay so not even 10 minutes after selling the card and dropping it off at the post office. I'm going through Craigslist here and I actually see an EVGA 950 for $50. So I'm gonna email that guy right now. EVGA GTX 950 graphics card. Yes the GPU is still available. Oh his name's Chris too. So I'm excited. I'm about to head over to this guy's house. $50 for a 950. So I'm pretty stoked about that. I think there's a little bit of flipping potential there. Maybe like 10 or 20 bucks. You know kind of not that much but at this point we're kind of just really trying to get started and get off the ground. Right now I have the $55.25. It is on hold from eBay in my PayPal account. So right now I'm spending the $50 in cash that I have out of my pocket. I hope that you guys will you know forgive me for not waiting till I had the cash but with flipping you really do have to move quick because anything that's a really good deal is going to get purchased typically on the same day. I got lucky and this post has been sitting up for a while but no one's grabbed the card and hopefully I can flip this 950 for a little bit more than what I'm getting it for. Okay so we are here. Yep yep that's sweet. Okay well I'm gonna put the camera back in the car but you know we're here apartment complex so hopefully the car works. I mean if it doesn't I know where he lives. All right here we are EVGA G4 GTX 950. So I'm pretty sure I'm gonna make at least $20 on this. I'm gonna go ahead and post on eBay the second I get back home. I'm gonna post it all around the local selling services as well and day one I'm off to a pretty strong start. I'm looking forward to where it goes from here. I'm not gonna you know count my eggs before they hatch but I'm pretty sure I've made a little bit of money back on this but I'll let you guys know when that happens. On day four of the competition and I finally got someone to reach out about the 950 and they're actually really quick about buying it so 950 available. Yes it is. We are doing 70 bucks. All right here we go. Hi Daryl right? Okay what was it we got a total of $75.25 so my new max budget is that and I got to figure out what I can get on the low for $75 and see what I can flip. Maybe there's someone out there selling a really cheap system for $75 that I could try to flip for $100 but we'll see that would that would involve a lot of luck. So last we left off I had the $75.25. I finally got a response from someone who I've been harassing basically to respond to me because they've had something post on offer up and the listing is an AMD pink case with motherboard memory and power supply. The reason I'm going with this computer is because they listed for 60 I negotiated it to 50 and it's only missing the hard drive and just from the pictures from when I look inside it looks like an old AM3 build. I think it could work. It could definitely work and if it does this is going to be a huge payout because if I can get a hard drive for like five dollars get like a cheapo graphics card for like twenty dollars then I'm looking at a full system that can game that I can sell for over a hundred bucks a hundred fifty maybe maybe I could double my money with this it's it's possible highly unlikely very risky but it's possible. All right just got the computer 50 bucks no let's check this thing out uh I don't know can we check this thing out there's like no light out here but that's uh eight gigabytes of DDR3 right there you get this uh thermal take power supply as long as this thing works I just got to go get a hard drive now and it'll be good. I don't know if I've said this before but I'm pretty sure I can get one for five dollars pretty sure just some old HDD hopefully something western digital because those hold up pretty decently if I can get a full system for 75 bucks go on I'll be impressed with myself we got an insane set of deals coming up today right now I'm going to go get a 500 I'll show you the screenshots I'm going to get a 500 gigabyte western digital drive so I'm hoping this drive works and there won't be too many issues but the graphics card we got a GTX 750 2 gigabyte variant from PNY and I could not be happier with that card for twenty dollars so both of those for a total of twenty five dollars after I have those two parts collected I've got 25 cents left and uh I should if everything works I haven't tested it yet but I'll have a working computer and it should be able to play some games okay that was uh a really weird transaction because I'm a skitchy as hell this is great it was five bucks I have the western digital drive here now now I gotta head over and get the graphics card so uh moving on sick look at this thing I'm here here on the floor with the windows 10 usb stick I'm gonna hit the switch on the power supply and I'm so sick oh my god this is so sick I am so excited to benchmark this not even more than 12 hours later we sold the computer 100 20 40 60 80 200 I had to do a little bit of my actual job so I couldn't you know have the camera and make the sale at the same time okay so after a few hours of thinking it over I figured since this is a youtube video uh I'm going to do it for the content and I'm actually going to try to build another computer with the 200 but this time I'm not going to be doing the same thing I'm not going to go for the same you know find the bare minimum and throw it together I'm actually going to try and build a computer that needs ddr4 ram I have no clue if that's possible with the $200 I really don't think it is but I just found a deal that might help make it possible I got a deal right here on offer up I'll show you the screenshot $35 for eight gigabytes of ddr4 now it's not quality ram it's pacific sun memory I've heard of it before it's like one of those really cheap off brands but even brand new I'm pretty sure it sells for like at least 60 bucks but uh it's a start well this sucks I just wasted probably the last 35 minutes standing around yeah the guy never showed up okay so something I should have recorded yesterday which I didn't uh is that guy who completely just stood me up reached out to me like two minutes after I got back home saying hey my bad didn't see your message so we ended up going back get in the ram and he actually sold me a pretty decent drive for 10 bucks I could have been more patient I could have waited and maybe've gotten one for five dollars like I did the first time which it will might bite me in the ass later but now what we're doing is we actually are getting a 660 ti's boy it's the car we started with it's a pny variant though we're going to a park right now we're gonna get it for 25 dollars 660 ti blower style fan by pny and to end today I actually scored a really good deal on a motherboard and power supply combo I'm getting the two of them for 50 bucks I actually don't have the offer up in front of me I remember what the motherboard is I don't remember what the power supply is but I can promise you both of them are quality products sorry for the iPhone quality I didn't want to bring my camera now I'm really glad I didn't I'm in a really bad area in Las Vegas um it's like by a casino that's like right next to a highway um which is hella ghetto but I got the part I needed um again I'm really sorry for the quality let me turn this on it's not an EVGA supernova I was really hoping it was uh the people was buying from didn't know what they had but I ended up getting a fully modular no semi modular rose will power supply it's 80 plus bronze 650 watts I hope it works oh my god so another thing I don't think I clarified yesterday night sorry I was just kind of in a rush a little bit scared with everything that was going on is that I also didn't get the motherboard that the person said they had because it said it was an aces prime z170 on the front you know for 25 bucks that would have been insane but um they didn't have it they didn't even know what they had so you know that kind of sucked so I'm I'm back to not square one but I'm I'm pretty far back again because I don't have a processor and a motherboard but then today happened and someone posted an i38100 for $60 I took a shot in the dark I messaged this guy I said hey can I get the processor for $40 which it does come with an intel stock heat fan by the way he messaged back five minutes ago saying you know what fine I'll do $40 so I'll show you guys a screenshot I'm starting to take the screenshots with timecode so you guys it's more believable that I'm getting the prices I'm getting them at you know today and I'm not faking stuff from that I've done in the past oh hell yeah check this thing out so one extra little bit of good news actually is I'm on new egg right now about to buy the motherboard we're getting an asrock h310m for $45.03 and I forgot I had a shoprunner account which is free to sign up for it knocked off the shipping charge so our grand total is actually just $45.03 let's go oh my hands aren't big enough so I've definitely been going through a little bit of a drought here I haven't been able to find any cases anywhere on the local market and I really don't want to settle for one of those cheap $20 free shipping cases on ebay so right now I'm debating whether or not I should be patient and keep waiting or if I just should go ahead and cave and get one of those cases you guys are not going to believe this so oh jeez so someone finally posted a case that was micro atx with the glass panel and I've been messaging him today and I asked him hey can I get it for 20 and I'll show you on the screen right now screenshot of what it is it's an in-win case and he's listening for 50 and he's like I can't do that that's too low so I said you know sure I understand um I waited like four hours I just really expected not to hear anything back because this case goes for like a hundred dollars new and he said if you show up tonight it's yours for 20 so uh I'm gonna go get that right now and yeah so I was really tired last night I couldn't get to this build but woke up I think it's like eight o'clock in the morning right now so I'm gonna build this thing and let's get it going this thing kind of looks like dookie but thankfully this front window is tinted I'll give you a quick quick a quick peek inside oh god the biggest concern here obviously is does this thing work and I have no idea yet so what we're gonna do now is take it over to the testing area and cross our fingers and uh and see what happens yeah I'm not seeing anything this sucks well I'm gonna troubleshoot this thing a little bit and then I'll see if I can get it to work based on what I can see on the screen right now the computer is working I bought a bad power supply um so while I'm glad that everything else in this computer works miraculously I knew it was all too good to be true I knew something um had to be bad here so the first thing I'm gonna do is I'm gonna message the person I bought the power supply from is there any way you can refund me I'm hoping that I'm not out $25 here because if I can't get my $25 back I'm fully confident I can buy another power supply but if I can't and these people just ghost me then um I'm kind of screwed okay so the update is is that the woman who sold me the fried power supply said that let me get back to you I'm working right now unfortunately I can't wait that long because there was another deal that popped up today for a power supply for $20 so what I'm gonna do which is probably a little bit of breaking the rules here is I'm gonna get the power supply from this guy for 20 bucks and then I'm gonna go get my money back from this woman later so yes right now I do only have 22 cents in the budget but I'm hoping that you will be able to overlook this just a little bit I could be patient I could wait for another deal to come up but to be honest I don't know if another one is going to come up I got the power supply hopefully this one works yeah I guess the next thing to do is bench it try to get Fortnite on here really quickly as well as some other tests and hopefully this thing's more powerful than the first one okay so this thing definitely performs a lot better than the last computer my only concern now is I mean now that we've proven this modded BIOS is actually insane it's like how do we prove this to people that are actually going to be buying the computer if they see 660ti their first instinct is oh old six generation car was a do well it can do over 60 fps consistently on high settings with high anti-aliasing on for fortnite so it's been a few days and I'm actually having a very tough times on the computer I'm not even getting any nipples so because this has proven to be so difficult something that I'm going to try doing is flipping my 660ti and then trying to get a better graphics card a newer one and hope that that will attract new buyers so what I've done is I've listed the 660ti or I did yesterday on hardware swap on reddit and someone is buying it for $50 shipped so it's going to cost me $10 to ship it I already did the price the price calculator for the shipping label and I am buying locally a 1050 for $40 I appreciate it man awesome we'll do thank you thank you gigabyte 1050 so yeah got the 1050 now ship the 660ti let's throw this thing in the system hopefully this increases my chances of selling and to wrap up the day I actually have some good news I posted the powers fly that the woman sold to me that doesn't work I'm not going to go into how that story resolved itself because it didn't she's basically being scummy and not going to return my money to me but it did come with modular cables and someone is willing to buy it off me for $20 which is what I got the other power supply that replaced this one so technically I am still within the money that I used and have been earning from the starting flipping uh the total flipping amount so we're back on track now I just have to sell the computer it has been a pretty disappointing week uh I did finally sell the computer I had it listed for $400 I thought I could at least get 350 and the best offer I actually got locally was 300 but I turned it down I regret that now because I forgot I had the computer listed on ebay uh it had a buy it now price of 400 and a starting bid of 275 and someone actually last second bid uh 4275 plus shipping so unfortunately I had to ship the guy the computer I I know I could have canceled the transaction if I really wanted to but I figured there's one week left to the competition let's just get rid of this thing so aside from that disappointing flip I actually put in a lot of work today finally uh now that I had cash to move and I actually bought this bad boy down here uh which we will be testing here in a second I know I didn't videotape that transaction um but I will just give you the rundown I got this computer for $90 long story short I saw it on offer up and I saw pictures of the graphics card inside this computer and someone was trying to sell for $45 I asked him hey is this thing still available and he said ah someone's actually on the way so I knew that this is one of those miracle finds that could really pay off and I told him basically listen I'll pay you double so I'm gonna test this thing now see what we got and uh see what we can flip it for because you know a $90 computer easy to flip okay so two days later and with about five days left in the competition we finally flipped the computer this bad boy is going for $200 which is a little bit more than double our money which is great and we got the 200 and cash you'll see uh can we count this not that we've counted anything else but 20 40 60 80 100 20 40 60 80 200 with that we now have $380 plus some change and uh I know what I want to buy and uh I'll try to keep that a little bit of a surprise it's good awesome Adam thank you very much appreciate it we'll do all right have a rest of the night so there you have it the 660 ti for $55 turned into a $300 GTX 1080 with $80 to spare some of you might be wondering you know why I chose to go with the 1080 well I thought it would be a cute gesture to go from a cheaper older graphics card to a more expensive more top of the line graphics card um and all in I think I got five days left so in 25 days didn't even take me the full month but after everything that you've seen in this video and I know it must have been a long one if I you know didn't break it up into a segments uh I hope you guys learned a lot from this whole buying selling flipping experience um a lot of what I know and do on you know a daily weekly basis for the youtube channel you have seen in this video a lot of my strategies I love what I know is possible what isn't possible I throw it I threw into this so if you guys are smart and you paid attention you should be able to recreate this for yourself and uh I hope that you guys enjoyed this entire process I know this is definitely the longest time I've ever taken uh to make a video but it was a lot of fun and uh you know at the end of the day I'm walking away with 80 extra bucks and a brand new 1080 so if you like this video I'll throw this in there you know throw me a subscription you know I'll like the video if you liked it and you know if you didn't you know dislike it but I make content like this all the time and I I want to do with these videos is show you guys you know that you can make some money you can game pc gaming for cheap and you can you know just build computers for whatever you need for cheap so I'm trying to show you guys what you can do don't spend more money than you have to no one ever wants to do that so yeah a very extended outro thank you guys so much for watching and as always have a great day
