Refurb DDR linkkkky

I looked a little and didn't see any good deals. Maybe you will.

 

[ss284]

all OOS.

 

[keyman923]

sorry i posted it as soon as I saw it-well after I bought all the crucial

 

[Loricariidae]

There's still a Kingmax 256 MB PC2700 and some Kingston 512 MBs.

 

[tigerbait]

what exactly does refurb memory mean? that which cannot overclock so it got returned?

 

[Squalish2357]

Remember people, it's only a good deal if its a good product, and refurb memory is just a bit too... risky? Memory is not something that one returns without a good reason.

A lot of people in these forums would use the excuse "doesn't overclock high enough" as an excuse to return memory.

How good is this refurb ram?

 

[keyman923]

I bought 3 sticks of 256mb at $59 a piece-all they had available at the time-Not a great deal-If it doesn't work i'll return it-30 day warranty from newegg for sure plus lifetime warranty from crucial I think.

 

[gdawson6]

i got the kingmax 333 so if it doesnt overclock well then who cares, because ill be using a kt266a and dont think i could get the fsb up that high anyway.

 

[littlezipp]

Hey Gdawson, how did your legal problems work out?

 

[gdawson6]

eh....im getting a job and won't be charged for about a year probably...so its just a lesson learned. Im glad i will be able to apply to the college that i wanted still (in 11th grade). My future is still safe, but till im 18 ill probably be considered a felon.

Isn't refurb RAM what they used to put in Packard Bell computers that made them so reliable? JK.

I've been holding onto the PB reference for thread crapping for soooo long.

Actually, these sticks are prolly from the morons who bought their new P4 RDRAM systems from Dell & thought they'd put in some aftermarket RAM because it's cheaper. "DDR is the same as RDRAM, right? It's a helluva lot cheaper than what Dell sells!"

 

[keyman923]

I wish I could have waited for memory prices to drop before I bought anymore but I need it now. I fiqure I saved $100 on the 3 that I bought. Even If I have to ship a stick back it can't cost much to ship, $3.20 priority mail.

1 stick of Kingston 512mb pc2100 left at $127.00

priority mail for 1 pound (cheapest it can be) is $3.50, $3.95 for two pounds.

newegg will refund shipping on rma's if you fax them your receipt! (or so i heard.) If i have to rma i will take a picture of the receipt and email it to them.

 

[slycat]

i don't think refurb memory is a good idea

 

[gdawson6]

I think its a good idea. I save some money, get free shipping, and i could either return it to newegg for a refund or most manufacturers would replace it themselves with there 'lifetime warranties'. Whatever it takes to save a few bucks!

are you sure about this? if so, i can get back some money.

refub ram = :disgust:

 

[gdawson6]

i heard someone on Anandtech say they would fax there fedex or ups receipts that they returned items with and they refunded them...its worth a try at least.

 

[keyman923]

I'm pretty sure I'm getting lifetime warranty from crucial. I hope its not any good-they wont have any other refurb to give me and I'll get new. Newegg has 1 of the best rma service around, Most places dont have toll free # for rma's
