That's right folks, refurbished ram!! (How in the hell do you refurbish ram?) Anyway, it's as posted in the title, although newegg says refurbs are supposed to have a 15 day warranty, yet this item says lifetime (ours or the chips?)

Linky

may have to buy 1/2 doz at this price

😉 😉 😉
 
Another reburbished deal from NewEgg. Refurbished from New Egg means returned and little more. You can buy new, yes NEW 512 PC 2700 at Circuit City this week for $19.99 or $29.99 (revised price) after rebates that is CL 2.5. This might be a lukewarm deal if it were Corsair XMS CL 2 or something of that sort. We need a thread for all of NewEgg's refurbished (returned) junk, so it won't fill up the Hot Deals section. Refurbished items from NewEgg are not Hot Deals. The items that have been returned have not been checked to see if they actually work. You only have a 15 day warranty from NewEgg and have to pay a restocking fee if you need to return the item. You can also buy new 512 PC 2700 Cl 2.5 memory from over a dozen vendors listed on PriceWatch for less than this. Hot Deal indeed- for NewEgg anyway, but only if you're stupid.
 
Looks like they only have 1 in stock and it's "house brand". Sorry, not a hot deal. And you should know by now that most of the "refurbished" stuff at Newegg are just customer returns. They even tell you so all over their website. Only a few items (like Asus motherboards) are really factory refurbished.
 
my appologies folks-meant this post tongue in cheek-have bought lots of refurbs from newegg(never ram) and know they are returns mostly. reburb ram just struck me as funny. and the price? pathetic. and as for ram this week, the hottie seems to be the circuit city 512 deal.

 
Jesus quit with the hall monitor attitudes guys, if you don't like the post then just don't reply and let it sink to the bottom!
 
I just talked to someone at Newegg's Refurbishment and Reconditioning campus about what refurbished memory means. He said that their "factory trained technicians go over the memory solder points under high magnification, resoldering when necessary. They also remove each integrated circuit, test in on a special IC tester, then resolder it with 99.9% oxygen free solder so it is better than new." He promised me that this ensures the refurbished memory is BETTER than normal memory. Finally, he told me that on some memory boards there is extra room, so they actually add a little more memory during the refurbishing process as a bonus.

He also told me that Newegg refurbishes a lot of memory for "major manufacturers," but they are under a non-disclosure agreement so they can't say who. But he says that the brands of memory people like so much are so good because Newegg works on them to ensure they are that good.

This sounds very hot!

We'll forgive you this time. Just don't let it happen again or we will ban you in a fit of rage. 😀

LOL, we all know that Newegg doesn't have any tech support. 😀
