Hi, I am looking to go from 256 meg to 512 meg and I was wondering what people thought about buying used memory off of ebay? It is the exact same manufacturer and product number that is in my computer. I mean memory is memory used or not right?
Trust me, you're not alone.Shamou said:Well, I did buy a Sonny VAIO laptop on eBay... how could a guy go wrong... it was said to be in top shape...
...when I received it, the battery had a life expectancy of about two minutes... (a replacement cost about $200.00)... and the OS...was pirated... the clip for the extended power line was broken... and would not hold the cord...
...I wrote a nasty review for the person who sold it to me... but, that was my only satisfaction... and $700.00 down the drain...
That is only my experience on eBay... but maybe worth sharing...
I have purchased a lot off E-bay including two computers with no problems. You have to make sure you are buying from reputable sellers. I also make sure there is a return policy.Rumpo-Stiltskin said:Used maybe, but abused also.... probably.
It's a really bad idea.
I wouldn't even buy "new" memory via eBay.
