About PathAu
PathAu is a UK deal-alert service for people who buy and resell used PCs, PC parts, consoles and MacBooks. It checks every new listing on eBay UK, Gumtree, Vinted and Facebook Marketplace, prices it from what the same things actually sold for — PCs part by part, consoles and MacBooks by model (MacBooks by memory and storage), office PCs as whole machines — and sends the underpriced ones. PathAu Build does the same for people buying parts for their own PC.
Who runs it
PathAu is built and run by Artem Kulyk, a sole trader in Inverkip, Scotland. He built PathAu's pricing engine and marketplace scanners, and answers support email himself.
Where the numbers come from
- A ledger of 132,688 used PC part sales on eBay UK since 8 June 2022, across 9 categories. Each part's price is the median of what it sold for, refreshed as new sales come in.
- About 3,079 new used PC and part listings a day from eBay UK, Gumtree, Vinted and Facebook Marketplace, each split into its parts and valued on arrival.
- Every price we use is public: used PC part prices, consoles, MacBooks, office PCs · method: how we price.
How PathAu makes money
Subscriptions — PathAu Live at £10 a month and PathAu Pro at £25 a month — and eBay Partner Network affiliate links, which pay a small commission from eBay's fee and don't change the price or the estimate. We don't sell data and don't run ads on the site.
What we don't do
We don't promise profit, we don't message sellers for you, and we don't hide listings that look too cheap — we flag them.
