Whatever's reasonable -- if I get a nice bid, I'll sell it on the spot. If not, probably after a week goes by. It might or might not be here by a week.
In my past experience with Falcon, it comes in some nifty black boxes. I wasn't planning on opening it, except to take out my personal information and invoices, etc. The system itself comes "shrink wrapped."
It's not about the money -- "parting it out" is more work than I'm willing to put into recouping some of my losses. Someone is going to get $5,000 worth of stuff for a pretty damn good price, and that's fine with me. I don't think it'll go TOO cheaply -- people who recognize the value in a boutique system (versus something that some snot-nosed kid cobbled together) may or may not currently be in the market for a new system. If they aren't, it's your lucky day -- $500, and you get a TON of system. You can probably resell it for close to $5,000, if not more, when you consider the people who hate to wait 2-4 weeks for a boutique system to be built, and are willing to pay a premium to "jump" the line.
