I have one stick of RAM from TigerDirect.com I want to sell. I tried to use it once and it's incompatible with my machine, thank you HP. So, I want to see if anyone here wants to buy it.

That's the stick, exactly what I have. It's brand new, box & lifetime warranty. If I send it back to TG, they charge a 15% restock fee, and I have to pay shipping. It comes out to $55 after tax and delivery, or $49 if you get it in the store. I want $40 so I can buy the right RAM.

The site says 5400, but the box says 5300, the same with my other stick and my motherboard. I think 5400 and 5300 are the same thing.

Except for in HP machines, Ultra memory is a decent, reliable brand that is compatible with most anything. If you are building a computer or upgrading it to play a game, this RAM should work for you. Also, this stick has a built-in heatsink on each side that is supposed to improve performance.

Specs:

1 GB = 1024 MB; 667 MHz; DDR2 PC5400; CAS Latency of 4

Item # on TigerDirect is ULT40051 if the link doesn't work.

from buy.com - $20 after Mail in Rebate and btw shipping is free.

So, what about $20 cash for it?

Well, if the brand on sale was Ultra, I'd consider it. The Ultra stuff performs better, has better compatibility, and has a lifetime warranty. I want money for something I've already bought, not to buy something new.

Besides, I'd get more than $20 from TG after 15% restock.

^^Also, the stick you linked to isn't available right now. And you have to use Budget to qualify for free shipping if the item has that icon. I don't trust Budget, but if you do, then buy the Crucial stick as soon as it's in stock, get the rebate, and get the free shipping. That seems like a better deal for you, since you don't mind waiting an extra 3-5 days with a budget company.

I'm shipping it back tomorrow, but if anybody wants it for $35, lemme know by then

Can you not take it to the store on capital to avoid shipping? I'd imagine you'd still get the restock fee but do it in person with a receipt and you might be able to avoid it all. If you've already checked this out and you have to ship it to a warehouse then gg.
