Getting rid of hardware asap / pricing help?

As some of you know my PC got trashed during transport. A couple components that aren't shock sensitive survived though & I'd like to get rid of them when I'm back in SA.

8gb of gskill ripjaws 1866 (4x2)
3570k processor
GS800 Corsair - NB PSU's casing is bent

Pretty confident all three are still in working condition. CPU has been overclocked but I undervolted it at the same time so temps never really went beyond the normal even on air cooling.

Normally carbonite would be the answer...the catch is that its costing me a fortune (~20k) to visit family so I need to move this stuff without time/hassle. If I can't do that I'm better off tossing it in the bin which would be a pity as the gear isn't worthless.

So:
1) How do I go about this in record time
2) Pricing? I obvious need to undercut whatever 2nd hand market rate is by a sizable chunk. Dunno what market is though - esp on the CPU.

And finally - anyone here keen? Pta based. If its a trusted Mygaming member I'll throw in a good-faith cash back guarantee if they reckon something's dead on arrival/otherwise not satisfactory.

I could also potentially add a Vertex 4 128 to this list if someone is keen on that.
 
Aw no man, I don't even know about your pc. Were you in an accident and are you alright?

If it was a month ago I would have taken the RAM. Unfortunately I won't be taking anything though but I hope you get someone to buy. Like BeoTeK says, Carbonite will be your best bet. It will most likely still be faster than trying to sell it here.

I would be keen on the vertex 4 (460?), was it involved in the accident, or just tired of not having a minute to yourself while the pc boots ;)

Yeah PC got trashed while transporting it to Europe. Idiot transporters. Specifically the mobo...lost a couple of transistors which makes it unstable. So either need to get a new mobo & case or get rid of the contents. Bought a laptop & don't have space for a PC so repairing it is no longer interesting.

mort - SSD - well I need an SSD for my laptop. So either I use this one or I sell it and buy a bigger one.

Oddly enough the HDDs seem fine...would have thought those would be the first to get damaged.

Well HDD's that are not in operation can withstand quite a lot of force before they get damaged, something in the region of 250 G's.
