I just received a lot of DDR and DDR2 memory I bought on Ebay.
First the good.
It was more than 50gb of memory for ~40 dollar, mostly 1gb sticks.

Now the bad.
Why do Ebay sellers often use newspapers to wrap computer components?
The unprotected memory modules were free to move around in the shredded newspapers, A real static wonderland for memory.
The two 2gb sticks of DDR2 memory I have tested so far seems to have survived and if only a few more sticks are ok then at least I got something for my money.
But things like this really piss me off.
Wrap stuff tightly so it cant move around and dont use !#"#%!"%"#¤ newspapers instead of antistatic bags.
