Whats the point of this email? And, shipping costs vary on location. Remember, Insurance....? Hav a nice day oh and thanks or looking.



Besides, do your homework on the RAM... Geil is never cheap cuz its great RAM. Plu, this is the uultra low CL. Again, do your homework b4 opening your mouth or go and buy some cheap Ballistix or OCZ...or whatever you use.

[SuperDave1685]

Wow.. what a moron.

[meionm]

I don't know why do you care. It's buyer concern. As goes for his listing if item doesn't sell, seller will need to pay listihg fees to ebay. At one point or another seller will get the message that sell not gonna happen.

[gigabit]

Oh my bad its 4x1gb and PC8000 but still its not gonna sell

I dont care but its amazing what people will try to get away with

[CGR]

Oh my bad its 4x1gb and PC8000 but still its not gonna sell

Ahh, well thats a little closer to his price then.

[OldSkool]

Still completely foolish, if he does sell it, it'll be to someone who thinks the more the better as far as price. Just plain silly IMO.

[ratbuddy]

If those are these http://www.memoryc.com/computermemory/ddr2ram/2gbgeilpc28000cl4ultrakit.html then it's not a total ripoff.

Those are some of the fastest sticks of DDR2 money can buy.

Dominators are available in 3-4-3-9 DDR2-800 which MIGHT hit 1000mhz @ 4-4-4-12, and there are some Mushkin sticks of 4-4-4-12 DDR2-1000 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820146114 but those cost $175 for 2.

The only other thing which is faster is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145044 again Dominators, for over over $500.

I'd say the auction is towards the high side of fair, but it is not a rip off by any stretch of the imagination.

[gigabit]

Well i just paid $43 for a set of Crucial Ballistix DDR2 800 16FD5 Double sided with the new heatspreaders without the clips and i had them running 1000 at 4-4-4-12 with 2.1v.and 1100 at 5-5-5-15.I didnt try higher................Yeah i know Crucials have that pproblem with SDS

If they are the ones ratbuddy linked us to then yf tuna is only asking about $125 to much.Just because DDR2 is so cheap now.I dont care if they are D9

[ImSpartacus]

Oh my bad its 4x1gb and PC8000 but still its not gonna sell

And it's cl4 with a lifetime warranty. Used? I say 100-150$ but he really isn't that far off. It claims full retail packaging and everything so it may be worth 160-170$ if it actually is good condition, but I admit 275$ is way too high.

[ratbuddy]

I really don't get it. He's selling some very fast memory for a fair price. Why give him grief?

[gigabit]

I wouldnt call that a fair price.And he wants $23.70 to ship them to Pa which is at best 200 miles for a 1/2 pound package.Noway i just sent ram to canda for under $8

[Trap05]

It's called capitalism and buyer beware

[ratbuddy]

How long did it take you to get to the post office? How much gas did it cost you? Did you take the time to go and ship it for free? What about packaging materials? Were those free? Did you send it insured? Etc etc..

[G3F0RC3<>R4D30N]

Yeah, he's just trying to screw some newbie to computers over...

[ratbuddy]

Fine, keep hating the poor guy. I challenge anyone who has commented to find sticks this fast on newegg for anywhere near this price.

Nope, those are 5-5-5-15, guess again.

So is what he is selling.

*Edit 4-4-4-12 sorry, but I'm sure these can be adjusted to that.

His auction is for 2 2x1 kits. Keep trying....

[gigabit]

Even still no one is buying DDR2 because there is enough cheap ddr2 that can OC with the best and have D9GMH IC's like my old Geil's which are selling for $52 shipped at the momemt on newegg .So for $104 i can have just as fast ram

Ok you beat me, I can't find comparable stock sticks on the Egg. But I have to agree, it's a ridiculous price and you could do far better for equal ram

5-5-5-15 again..... Bet any money the Kingston won't do DDR2-1000 at 4-4-4-12 while the Geil will do 1066 at 5-5-5-15 all day long.

[OldSkool]

So OC them.......

I'm surprised the message hasn't gotten across yet.. You guys ridiculed someone selling a high end item at a high end price, without understanding what he was offering and how special it is compared to ordinary DDR2....

If they do 5-5-5-15 at 1066 I can almost guarantee 4-4-4-12 at 1000.And look at the voltage that geil needs to do 4-4-4- 12 at 1000 2.35v to 2.5v geessh

underclock,tighten timings and they probably run d9gmh/gkx.otherthan those there isnt much to choose from at newegg.

You're darn right I am gonna keep hating on him... Second hand sticks for more than they originally cost... Yeah, I am so gonna pay for sticks with that description... Let's try to consider things from a logical viewpoint...

Indeed, let's ;)

Those sticks cost almost $500 new. For a single 2x1 kit. He's offering 2 kits for $275. 1120mhz at 4-4-4-12 timings in this review. http://www.driverheaven.net/reviews/DDR2-1000geil-supertalent/overclocking.php

Logical viewpoint, indeed.....

[gigabit]

Well ok he lowered his starting bid and his buy it now price is $275.Now thats a little more like it.I agree its a great set of DDR2 .But comeon a starting bidding price of $275 was outrageous.Now he might get that even though i still think its a bit high

I hate people that make a point to critisize prices because THEY think its ripoff. A few years ago I used my Circuit City Employee discount to buy a ATI Radeon HD TV Tuner at a reduced price of $100+tax($129+tax retail value). After a month I couldn't get the dam HD to work so I posted here in the forums. I posted it for $75 dollars. Mind you the best price on newegg and zipzoomfly was still $120 but some dude here on the forums PMd me just to say it was nice that like to RIP off members so badly and that I should not be allowed to sell here. THE DAM CARD WENT FOR $120 RETAIL and he was mad that I was selling it for less than you could aquire it anywhere else? I also had the entire retail package left so this wasn't some half ass-ed sale here. My point is why do you care? quit wasting your time and his with worthless messages because eventually he will lower his price to a reasonable level just as economics dictates he will....which he allready has by the look of it.

If they do 5-5-5-15 at 1066 I can almost guarantee 4-4-4-12 at 1000.And look at the voltage that geil needs to do 4-4-4- 12 at 1000 2.35v to 2.5v geessh

Dont hold your breath.

My GSkil 2x2GB kit will do 1066 @ 5-5-5 but I dont think I could go much over 667 at cas4 (I did not try 2.35-2.5vdimm though).

[twEEkerAreUs]

So a typical eBay user sells X product way over priced? Hey if someone doesn't research going prices, that's their own fault and nobody else. This reminds me of the PS3 thing, tons of hype and ****ed off people seeing how much they were selling for. Don't like the price? Don't buy it. The funny thing is, is he has 1 bid on it too.

[Colton H]

Oh well it's his choice..

[ratbuddy]

The auction in question is not overpriced, the issue is simple. The person who started this thread does not know their memory. Sticks rated at 4-4-4-12 1000mhz with a lifetime warranty are extremely rare. The auction is for 2 2x1GB kits. The cheapest you can find them new now is $155 PER KIT. When these kits were released, they were just under $500. I suppose people just fear what they don't understand, this is some of the best DDR2 in the world.

[tRidiot]

I agree.

However, running 2.2v - 2.4v does not seem healthy since I have seen a lot of D9's die when over 2.2v.


Great ram reguardless.

[@mu5fear]

You guys are crazy man, who cares if some guy on Ebay is selling RAM a little overpriced. You get ripped off everyday by all kinds of corporations.... Who here believes that those nice white Nikes they paid $150 for, cost more than $12 to produce? Or that the price of gas should really cost $4.50 a gallon? Or that a $60,000 dollar BMW cost more to produce than a $30,000 Lexus?
People sell things for more than they are worth, becuase people will pay...
And its Ebay, he's not going to get more than the highest bidder offers.
Which is currently at $245... If someone wants to pay that for this RAM, how is that going to affect your life. My RAM cost me $20 per stick
http://www.factorydirect.ca/catalog/product_spec.php?pcode=ME1006
never had an issue with em, so I'm not concerned if someone else pays nearly $300 for 4GB, when I paid $80 for the same thing. Their loss not mine.

i think his whole point was he could get similar, if not better timings on those ddr800's vs the geils at a higher fsb ?

They run 1080 at 4-4-4-12 and 555 rated to 1150 but will do ~1250 without hooking up the water cooler.

And only 170 dollars.

And they are 2x2GB sticks :)
I do see your point though.

Even if it is overpriced which for geil its really not... just dont buy it.

I see used quads on ebay for 200+ dollars all the time (and our classifieds). But you can get new G0's from microcenter for 199 (they were going for 175). I do not bitch about it. Just say no thank you and go on my way.

Well truthfully i miss read the auction and orignally thought it was for 2x1gb of DDR2 800.When i saw that i jumped the gun i said later that his price was a lot closer to being fair than i orignal thought.But was still a bit high but with his shipping prices he is just ripping people off period
