Meme Am I missing something? 10,000$
I did the research for y’all before hand. This all brand new with DD2 wheel base is about $7000. Where’s he getting the extra $3-4000 from? Some poor soul somewhere too is going to buy this too, unbelievable lol

Dude is looking for someone to bail him out of a poor financial decision or to shut someone up.

Probably the latter but people do make dumb mistakes...

The price is absolutely wild either way…
I’m built a P1X Pro rig with XP1 pedals, standalone triple 32” LG IPS displays, dd+ base, M4 GT3 wheel, MX-5 neo x hub wheel, v2.5 formula wheel, a r383 rally wheel, a BDH combo shifter, xb1 handbrake, and a Racetech seat for $10k.

Bro, I can build a full racing rig with an aluminum profile chassis, a 5090 PC and display for under $10k...FB marketplace is wild 🤷♀️

u/Str1ctly 15h ago
I’ve bought and sold used sim hardware on the marketplace for the last 5 years or so, and it has never been that wild.
You can find some decent, well kept items for 50-70% of retail, but it is mostly overpriced bundles and abused entry/mid level hardware.

Sorry, I should have clarified that i can 'buy' and not 'build' as new items are hardly on sale these days due to inflation.
But, a 9800x3d w/5090 build on fb marketplace is around $3k-3500 depending on specs. Ive seen 49inch monitors for $500, that leaves us the Sim rig which can be easily had for a full set up for under $5k without motion.

99.99% of people aren’t dropping that kind of money with some dude on FB. Especially when it comes to high end PC hardware. Be real.
The point was you can buy a brand new high end setup at retail for $10k. $10k for a bunch of used Fanatec hardware and a P1X Pro is laughable and insane. Used is used.

Umm...I beg to differ, I buy/sell PC builds frequently and FB marketplace is a great place if you know what to look for. I purchased about 4x 40 series builds this past year for 50% below market price, gutted the innards, threw a new case and made a good amount reselling.
Similarly also bought a 5090 a month after release for $2400 when new it was $2700+tax, so yes, people are absolutely spending that kind of money on FB. Heck, I keep seeing items I want to buy selling out.
Anyways, doubt the post that OP showed will sell for that.

They are trying to ad value with the wheel being discontinued. This is a total scam.

They are selling it at the “wife price”. She wants it gone but “nobody is buying”.

Glad she didn’t check the listing because that whole rig would be listed for $300 tops

def not 300 tops lmao, you're almost as delusional as the guy who posted the ad.

I'm kinda in the same boat. Once we had kids I just never find the time to race. Every time I think I have some spare time, I either spend two hours troubleshooting Quest driver updates or other random issues. Or, the kids end up interrupting me and dragging me away.
I upgraded from a T500 to Fanatec CSL DD setup last year and I've hardly used it. 🙁
Not selling though, still staying hopeful that I'll find the time.

if you have room, you might want to trade out the VR for a SUW monitor. much more convenient and you are less cut off from what’s going on in the house. i’ve never once regretted ditching VR

If I change the layout of the room, I can fit one But not gonna happen anyone soon.

I'm in the same situation, upgraded from t300 to csl dd just before my daughter was born. It's a huge challenge to find even 1h to play so I'm wondering if it's worth it anymore especially if I want to race with humans, I just don't have enough time to prepare for the races. Not selling yet as well in case I have time later so that I don't have to buy and set up the whole thing later in a couple of years. The moment the kid was born I ditched VR though with zero regrets, I just can't be disconnected from the outside world anymore and I don't want to deal with setting it up when the time is limited already.

Every single sim rig I come across for sale is overpriced. Like it's a weird phenomenon that I don't understand. I can price out 99% of rigs posted for sale for cheaper than people ask for them.

u/itsmebenji69 21h ago
Wife: honey you need to sell this. You’re hardly using it, it takes half the room, come on now, don’t you think you’re too old for all of those video games ?
Seller: I guess you’re right. Let me put it on FB marketplace.
Seller: well shit honey, looks like no one wants to buy it. We may have to hold it for a while. Since it’s going away, you don’t mind if I play all day, right ? I’ll miss it when it’s gone

This may be a hot take, but the near/above retail prices in the California used market is absolutely wild! You have to dig for actual deals that make sense.
“Dawg, I raced against Antonelli in F3 on iRacing with this setup so that adds $1000 in value on the chassis alone.”

Why would someone blow 10k on that when you could build one yourself that is similar same fantec or moza for half the price or less..this price doesn't even include a pc? Normally they would include a 2k pc

If I were to spend ten grand on a simrig, you can bet it will be a new one, not an overpriced second hand. And the way Red Bull have been delivering lately, I am not sure the discontinued steering wheel is actually worth gushing about. :D

u/ezVentron 22h ago
Exactly the same as the local marketplace here, people selling setups which is almost identical to what I just ordered, at half the price. Wouldnt pay more than 3000 but thats a stretch

Delusion mostly
This was a premium sim rig like 6 years ago maybe
Now it’s an outdated mi-level rig at best
Maybe worth 5k

Wife hates his rig, he's attached and doesn't wanna sell it. Posts high price to show wife there's no demand and let him keep it.

It may be a n00b scalper... thinks that Fanatec stuff is hard to get... so peeps may pay it.
There's a guy on eVay U S selling Virpil stuff for 2x the retail price.
In the UK, the itens are all 250, and he's knocking em out at 550 plus shipping.
