    I would buy that in a second if I had the capital to do so. There is likely 10-15 thousand in resale parts there, plus the scrap.

    Yeah haha the same. Capital is always an issue. That is why I leave it for any of the big dogs in here.

    i dont like his terms of service...its funny how some folks get by with anything they want and others get there listings removed for every little thing....read the part about him not being responsible after the items leave his shop...now everyone knows it is not allowed to charge folks extra for insurance on ebay...he does not come right out and say he will charge you for it but he implies it...he says insurance is available always but it is up to you to ask for it, and if you dont then he isnt responsible...

    his return policy is also not enforceable...listing is posted with a 14 day return policy ,,then he goes on to say he only accepts returns for 7 days and only for certain reasons...i know if you list with a 14 day return policy and you deny a return that is within your 14 day return window all someone would have to do is open a case and they will win there case 99 to 100 percent of the time..they would almost have to admit they broke the items or they altered them in some way before ebay or paypal would not let them return...

    I have tried working with the seller of the 1000 lbs of ram on more then a few occasions. He says he will deal but never has with me anyway.(Maybe I had bad breath)

    In this seller's ebay listings, there are lots of 512MB ram being offered for sale. Expect this to be picked clean of usable modules.

    After looking closely at the picture I see some burn marks on some sticks, possibly flatpacks have been removed. Also its not all ram as i also saw some rambus blanks and what looks to be laptop wireless cards. Thats only what can be seen in the photo. Who knows whats underneath. Highly doubt you will find any 1g + sticks in that lot.

    says non-working ram, for gold recovery. he could get close to this just selling to ewasted or the like. i'm sure someone could offer him good pricing and avoid the dreaded ebay fee's!! oh well, his dream not mine. can't blame him for trying to find a naive gold kook on ebay lol

    Look at his past history and you find a lot 1GB listings so I assume this is pretty well picked though. I never like an auction without plenty of pics and a good item descriptions.

    I just checked he split his initial 1000 lbs into 500 lbs each. He is asking for 16 / lb which is too rich for me.
