Buyers prefer bundled systems, but that isn't whats best for you. It's almost always more profitable to break premium parts out of a system and sell them separately.

For buyers who want the entire package, you can extend them a favor by listing the Falcon CPU first, any minor peripherals, THEN the premium items LAST, each ending in 5-10 minute increments apart.

This works to your advantage because if someone wants the whole package, they will feel compelled to go all in, to get everything. It will also likely increase competition.

It's also worth mentioning in the descriptions of each auction that Item A was formerly part of an integrated working system, which includes Item B, C, D, etc.
also up for auction.
