Part-out calculator: is it worth more in parts?

A broken laptop, a dead console, a camera without a lens — some items are worth far more in pieces. FlipTip lists every part that sells on its own, prices each one and tells you whether parting out beats selling it whole.

Part-out calculator in a FlipTip scan of a PS3 Slim: console only $64 (12 real sales), DualShock 3 controller $21 (16 real sales), HDMI and power cable set $9; bought for $30 — selling whole nets +$47.21 in about 4 days, selling in 3 parts nets +$51.54 over about 9 days — Sell it whole or in parts — the calculator compares both

How it works

Scan the itemWhen the scan says it can be parted out, a 🔧 button appears. On a SKIP or a thin margin the result offers it by itself, right under the verdict: "Whole: $40 · in parts maybe ~$95".

Parts are listedEvery separately sellable part, priced from real completed sales where they exist, otherwise estimated.

Honest mathYour buy price, shipping per parcel and selling fees are deducted.

Whole vs. partsYou see both totals, the difference and roughly how long the last part takes to sell.

What you get

Real sales first — each part shows whether its price comes from sales or an estimate.
You choose which parts to sell; the totals follow.
Made for repair finds — electronics, cameras, consoles, tools.

The part-out calculator is part of the Dealer plan.

Questions

Which items can be parted out?

Items made of components that resellers commonly sell on their own — laptops, cameras, consoles, some tools and appliances. The scan tells you when it applies.
