Best place to sell my complete Flight Simulator X setup (PC, 3 monitors, controls)

Hi Tom,

A couple of practical options (and what I’ve seen work best)

1. Sell it as a complete package locally (best chance of moving it quickly). A full FSX “ready to fly” rig is a tough ship item, so local pickup usually gets you the cleanest sale (PC + 3 monitors + yoke/pedals/throttle). It also avoids shipping damage on monitors and controls.
2. If you don’t get bites, part it out in logical chunks. Typically the easiest pieces to sell separately are:
   • Controls (yoke/joystick, throttle quadrant, rudder pedals)
   • Monitors (sold as a set if they’re identical)
   • PC tower by itself
3. Take clear photos and list exactly what’s included. People will ask the same things every time, so having it all up front helps: PC specs, monitor sizes/models, exact control brands/models, and whether you have original boxes/software discs.

Before you list it

1. Make sure you can demonstrate it boots and runs FSX (even a default flight at a stock airport).
2. If you’re including any payware add-ons, be careful: many are licensed to you and not transferable. Generally, you’ll want to sell hardware only, and remove personal data from the PC.
3. If the PC is included, a clean Windows install (or at least a proper wipe of personal data) is a big selling point.

A few questions so I can steer you better

• Are you hoping to sell it as one complete bundle, or are you OK parting it out?
• What are the PC specs (CPU, GPU, RAM, storage) and what version of Windows is on it?
• What are the monitor sizes/models and are they all the same?
• What controls are included (brand/model of yoke/joystick, throttle, pedals)?
• Roughly what area/state are you in (for “local pickup” advice)?

Post the specs and I can give you a realistic way to price it and the easiest way to split it if needed.
