sold 128mb stick of RAM for $1

some of this legacy stuff we have laying around can really come in handy for others.

i had a lot of old junk i was planning on e-wasting but decided to list them for sale at really low prices, hoping they would find a better home.

after a couple of months of getting some hilarious messages from people asking if these listings were real and why i would even bother putting up such old gear, someone inquired about this old 128mb sdram i had (that's before DDR era for all u youngins). at first i thought he must be mistaken and needs DDR and told him to bring his laptop and we can try whatever i have to make sure it works.

then the dude surprises the hell out of me by saying it's for a printer! an old model which couldn't handle large jobs due to having only 32mb onboard memory. he shared the details with me and we looked through documents and pictures and sure enough it had an sdram memory slot.

he drove down and picked it up, messaged me in a couple of hours saying it worked. it was a great feeling that i don't often get when dealing with marketplace folks with all the haggling and excuses about why they didn't show up but every now and then, something like this comes up and it's awesome.

i'm sure on e-bay he would have had to pay some ridiculous shipping price for this.

just wanted to share.
