👋 What is this?
This tracker was built specifically for PC Building Simulator on PlayStation and PC. It helps you manage customer jobs, track PC Bay flips for profit, organise your parts stash, and diagnose broken PCs faster. Everything saves automatically in your browser — no account needed.

💰 PC Bay Flips
The main money-making tool. Use this to track broken PCs you buy from PC Bay, calculate profit, and manage your flip pipeline.
Adding a flip
Enter the CPU, GPU, and price paid in the add row at the bottom, then hit + Add. A sticky note appears for that PC.
The calculator
Tap any active (green) sticky note to load it into the calculator. Fill in repair costs, benchmark values, and final sale price as you go — everything saves automatically.
🟠 Possible Profit — shows an estimate once you have a resell value, before the PC has sold
✅ Confirmed Profit — updates to green once you enter the actual sold price
Attach stash parts via 🧩 Select from stash — their cost adds to total spent automatically
Sticky note states
🟢 Green — in progress, tap to load into calculator
🟡 Yellow — listed on auction, locked so you can't accidentally load it
⚫ Grey — sold, shows final profit, kept for reference
Flipping
Hit ✓ Flipped! when the auction ends and you've entered the sold price. The flip moves to the completed section, stash parts used are removed automatically, and if the profit clears $1,200 the CPU+GPU combo is auto-logged in Flip Tips.
🧩 Parts Stash
Log parts you pick up cheaply from PC Bay or leftover from upgrade jobs, so you can use them to boost flip profits later.
Pick a category (GPU, CPU, Motherboard etc), enter the part name and price paid, hit + Add
Parts are grouped by category so you can find them quickly
When attaching to a flip via the stash modal, GPU and CPU parts auto-update the flip title
Parts reserved for another flip show with a 🔒 and can't be double-assigned
Hit ✓ Used to remove a part once it's been installed — it disappears completely to keep the stash tidy
💡 Flip Tips
A living reference guide that updates as you flip PCs. Three sections:
CPU + GPU Combo Performance — tracks min and max profit for each combo you've flipped. Auto-updates when you mark a flip as done. Sorted by max profit so your best combos are always at the top. Pre-filled with proven combos from real game data.
PC Bay Price Guide — parts worth always buying when under a set price. Add your own as you discover bargains.
Parts to Avoid — low end parts not worth buying or upgrading to. Add your own as you learn what doesn't benchmark well.
💡 Hit ✕ on any entry to remove it. Use the add row at the bottom of each section to add your own discoveries.
🔧 Diagnosis Guide
A step-by-step checklist for diagnosing broken PCs in Diagnose & Fix jobs. Work through it top to bottom — tick each item off as you check it in-game. Hit ↺ Reset when you start a new job.
The Email Hints section below the checklist shows clues to look for in the customer's email that hint at what's broken — things like brand mentions, descriptions of what happened, or budget size. These are hints not guarantees, always verify in-game!
💬 Tips for PC Bay flipping
High end GPU + cheap repair = best profit. Always check what's broken before deciding to upgrade
If a strong CPU has a weak GPU, check if a better GPU is available cheaply — swapping it can triple the resell value
Always benchmark before listing — it dramatically increases resell value
The auction can close above or below the estimated resell value shown in-game
Multiple flips running simultaneously costs nothing extra — always have something in the pipeline
Check the Flip Tips tab before buying a PC to see if that CPU+GPU combo is proven

📧 Email hints — clues to look for
⚠️ These are hints not guarantees — always verify by checking the actual part!
⚡Possibly PSU or MotherboardPSU / MOBO
"I spilt liquid on it" / "burning smell"
"White smoke came out"
"I dropped it on the floor"
PC completely dead, no fans, nothing at all
🦠Possibly VirusVIRUS
"My kid was playing on it"
"I'm seeing weird pop-ups"
"It's running really slow lately"
"I clicked on something I shouldn't have"
💨Possibly DustDUST
"My PC lives on the floor"
"I picked it up and stuff fell out"
"I never cleaned it, is that okay?"
🌡️Possibly Overheating / Thermal PasteTHERMAL
"It's running really hot"
"It keeps shutting itself off"
"Fans are really loud"
🏷️Brand name = broken partHINT
If they mention a brand e.g. "I love my Silverstone PSU" — that brand's part is likely the broken one
If they name a specific part e.g. "Did my PSU break?" — that part is almost certainly broken
💰Budget trickSHORTCUT
If one part costs roughly 60-80% of the total budget, it's probably the only broken part
You can order it before the PC even arrives to save a day!
