More than Scrap buyers generally pay less than market value on scrap RAM. The reason is simple: As a buyer who does more than scrap, I really can't do anything with scrap RAM other than send it on to a scrap processor. But, $1 per pound is terrible. I calculate failures off a base price, and then modify it upwards if you're sending in RAM that's really heavy. Older RAM has a lot more chips on it, so it's worth more in scrap. Here's the way I figure it:
You do lose some on the scrap RAM. But, you more than make it up on the stuff that passes testing. Your best bet is to upload a picture somewhere, or if you can't upload it elsewhere, let me know and I'll give you my E-Mail. No matter who you send it to, I can look at your pictures and in a couple minutes give you a good idea of what you have, and how to tell.
If you choose to send to a more than scrap buyer, make sure to package it carefully! If your RAM is damaged in shipping, it's just scrap at that point. I wrote a guide a few years ago about shipping MTSV items, and there's a section in there on computer memory. You'll see the link at the bottom of my posts. I strongly recommend reading it- a little bubble wrap and a few minutes is the best investment you can make for your lot.
If you have any questions, just let us know. We're all more than glad to help you make the most of whatever you've got
