Did I get ripped off?

Why not call Micron and talk to them about this vendor? Odds are they can apply some serious pressure that you can't do alone.

Step 1 = call or email them for an RMA #, then ask how long it will take for a refund and if there is a restocking fee.

Step 2 = ship it back to them via a trackable carrier.

Step 3 = If you don't get a refund dispute the charge with your credit card company.

Honestly, you're screwed. Never buy from a Yahoo Shopping site.

Let me repeat that.

NEVER BUY FROM A YAHOO SHOPPING SITE. You're better off buying from eBay -- at least then you might get eBay to suspend their account. Yahoo just doesn't care. I've reported places to Yahoo before and they do nothing. The BBB really doesn't care, either. Most of these places are just little scam operations that pop up and disappear. You won't be able to get anything out of them. If they want to keep ripping people off, they'll change their PO box and start another Yahoo Shopping site.

If any of the kind readers here are attourneys, you might try talking one of them into sending a letter threatening legal action for fraud if they do not refund your entire purchase. Just a thought.

You think maybe they made a typo and typed 4200 instead of 3200 on the page that you ordered from? could certainly be a possibility, in which you should get your money back..

I would be surprised if you are even able to run 200 FSB stable after reading the rest of the customer reviews. About every single one is a person that got slower memory than what they ordered. Looks like they stick on heatspreaders to cover up the chips. Look up the info on the chips so you can find out what it really is.

Nanya pc3200 should not be that bad as far as I know (nevery used them before, though).

I have some Nanya memory myself, it certainly isnt any good for overclocking, so the OP got owned clearly.

As a general rule, you should document everything. Send all correspondence certified, keep copies of everything. If you have a scanner, scan the RAM at a resolution that displays the serial numbers so you have proof of the modules they sent to you. And immediately dispute the charges with your credit card company. Even if you are lucky enough to get the con-artists to refund most of your money, you can still recover the restocking fee by disputing with the bank.

A member here did that to me on AT Trade/sell forums. Never mentioned it before the sale of course. I got stuck with PC3200 ram rated for PC2700 specs. And the new K8V Bios would not let me overclock the ram. It just kept auto detecting it's rating on me. So yeah, I'd say you got ripped off.

Send the mem back, get your credit card co. involved. You can also report them to your postmaster for fraud.
Having your credit card co. involved is your best bet. And stick to reputable vendors. ie newegg
