Selling ram

I searched the internet and the forum and didn't find much. Before I go sell my DDR ram for scrap I'm putting it on CL. Just seeing what I should do a asking price for 256mb and lower?
Thanks

I really doubt anything smaller than a gig would sell. I keep a few 512s for repairs for friends, but thats it.

Ok thanks. I will just weigh them and calculate what I can scrap them for and take a % off and sell locally

It depends on how much time you have. Theres a market for ram below 128mb and a market above 256MB but you may need to sit on it for 3-6 months

My low side ram I save for trade with a couple of computer repair guys I work with. One always needs it, the others are every now an then. I always get more in trade then I do selling. I do save some tho, for my own personal greedy reasons.

Anything lower than 1gb is pretty common, scrap price is 13.00-14.00lbs. 2gb will sell much better per stick.

Start with 1gb, an work your way up. what pts said is true of course also. I've gotten machines in that can't handle more then 2gb's.

Or look up your machine online, an some forum, or site will list the max for your computer. Assuming you've not upgraded the MB or anything an it's still factory stuff.

Just my thoughts.

My computer for example has 4 slots, each can hold max of 1G each. Look up user manual for your computer, it will tell you in the specs.

Most ram I deal with has a label on there. You know what it looks like, just look on either side an you should see it. Or look when you put in the new ram. You'll already be next to it.

Like the good Sir said, just check label on the side for the type and you'll know exactly what to put back in there.

Tski has the right of it to for the MB. I seemed to have left that out of my post.

Sorry for the slight derail KCS. Auminer started it, I just answered!

Yeah word of advice. Don't just jam it in. I learned the hard way and ended up with a broken motherboard.

Also wise to remember a grounding strap or something comparable to avoid any unwanted static discharge. I sometimes have to remind myself that repairing/upgrading takes a lighter hand than scrapping.

Right click on "my computer" then click properties to easily find out how much RAM you have now. Additionally, I would do this after any changes to the RAM. Just because you install it doesn't mean it's working for you.

I do pretty good selling RAM (any size) online in lots of 2-4 sticks. Selling them individually, at 256, would probably take you a good amount of time.
