USED Intel Core i5-2500 PRICE

Every figure on this page comes from completed eBay sold listings for this exact component type — prices buyers actually paid, not prices sellers are asking. Asking prices are freely invented; sold prices are not.

Sold listings are collected on a rolling schedule and matched to a specific component type, with a product-class filter so that closely-named but different hardware never contaminates a figure (laptop SO-DIMM sales stay out of desktop memory; ECC server memory stays out of consumer memory). Outlying sales — a mispriced bundle, a listing that was really two cards — are discarded rather than averaged in, and the published value is smoothed across observations so one unusual week cannot move it on its own.

The result is stored as a dated observation. Everything above is computed from that series: the current value is the most recent observation (August 8, 2026), the averages are the means of the observations inside each window, and the recorded range is the lowest and highest values ever observed across 7 readings.

What this number is not: it is a market value for a working, complete unit in ordinary used condition. It is not our asking price for a specific unit we have on the shelf, and it is not an offer — a part with a dead fan, no bracket, or an unknown history is worth less than this, and we would rather say so than let a single number do work it can’t.
