How to Write a Good PC Listing That Actually Sells
A well-crafted PC listing can be the difference between a quick sale and weeks of silence. Whether you're selling a gaming rig, workstation, or a budget build, knowing how to write an effective listing will boost your chances of attracting the right buyer—fast.
1. Start with a Clear, Descriptive Title
-
Your title is the first thing buyers see, so make it count:
-
Include the PC type (e.g., "Gaming PC", "Workstation")
-
Mention key components: "RTX 3070", "Ryzen 7", "16GB RAM"
-
Keep it concise but specific, e.g., "Custom Gaming PC – RTX 3070, Ryzen 7, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD"
2. List Full Specifications
-
Buyers want to know exactly what they're getting. Include:

CPU, GPU, RAM, Storage (type and size), PSU, Motherboard
-
Case model, cooling system, operating system (if included)

Any recent upgrades or replaced parts
3. Highlight Performance and Use Case
-
Explain what the PC is good for:
-
Can it run modern games at 1080p or 1440p?
-
Is it ideal for streaming, editing, or multitasking?
-
Mention any benchmark results if available
4. Be Honest About Condition
-
Build buyer trust by being transparent:
-
Mention wear and tear, minor scuffs, or cosmetic issues
-
State if the system has been professionally cleaned or refurbished
5. Add High-Quality Photos

Visuals sell listings. Include:
-
Wide shots of the full setup

Close-ups of internal components
-
Photos of accessories, packaging, or original boxes if included
