I recently bid on 340 sticks of memory and won the auction at 600.00.
I thought great thats 2$ a stick. Even if half are 512 and 1 gig sticks I'll make about 1500 on the lot. The seller 'icemedia' who I highly suggest you stay away from, said they were a nice mix of memory up to and including 1 gig.
Well I got the package. Just complete junk memory. Stuff pulled from computers from the 90s and early 00s
8mb old old memory.
32mb pc100 sdram
and the best being 64mb pc200 DDR which has no value to speak of.
It was packed in anti static bags but thrown into a box with no other protection so UPS could kick it around some.
Im pretty good with computer stuff and knew right away it was junk so the night I received the package I filed a dispute. They have until next Thursday to return my money then I am disputing through Paypal.
If they return my money I'll give them another shot.
Also, I'm looking at some of the bid amounts on stuff, including me. Lets not get carried away here with bidding on this stuff. Lets use the proxy and set it to a low amount. We have to factor in a 30% junk ratio to protect ourselves. There are 5 laptops being bidded on for about 2500 bucks that are maybe worth 500 each. And definetely can't be sold on eBay.
If Liquidation makes me go through Paypal which I am guessing they will I am only buying stuff that I can physically see. Like going to a liquidation warehouse and looking at the pallets first.
