    Older Ram Memory - surprise!

    I just got off the phone with one of my buyers and he dropped a bombshell on me, I sent in 75 pieces of DDR ram, the old stuff, he had been buying them buy the pound.

    He's the most honest parts buyer I've come across.

    Anyways, that old DDR ram I sent in he said he's not going to buy it by the pound, but by the piece, some of that stuff is worth upwards of 10 dollars a piece. PER PIECE not per pound.



    We're working out a deal I'm going to buy a ram tester from him, and just send him the working stuff in different batches from the non-working.

    I've been selling newer ram per piece but didn't realize the DDR was worth that much still.

    DDR ram was jumped in price in the last few weeks due to the older computers being upgraded and used again. I have been able to sell working whole p4s for more than scrap worth. But then again I am sending out around 3 pallets full.

    I was getting 25 bucks a pound for ram, I'm not dealing in pallet quantities yet. But still having buyers that actually look out for me makes me feel like not everyone I deal with is trying to screw me.
