I'm selling the OEM Apple RAM that comes with the new iMacs.

Asking $50.00 shipped.

That's kind of a high price considering you could get them new for under 50. I would ask for no more than 40.

Would these work on a 1.83GHz C2D mac mini?

Really? Where?
Crucial: $55.99
MacSales (OWC): $60.49 - ($57.99 + 2.50 shipping)

And remember this is Apple RAM, not third party.

If you got a hookup, then great - please share.

I don't believe so. At least you wouldn't be able to get the best performance
out of them.

Bear in mind "Apple" RAM (not really their brand) has only the warranty of the Mac it shipped with. 3rd party RAM often has a lifetime warranty.

The only advantage of "Apple" RAM is if you have to send your Mac in for warranty service.

Ok, here is the price for 2GB of Mac Ram at New Egg which comes out to 39.99 after mail in rebate. This is for NEW ram, not used:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233062

Here is a listing of 2GB of Mac Ram on eBay which are also NEW and all priced around $50:

My point being is that you are selling your USED ram at a price anyone could easily buy it for brand new. Apple doesn't make ram, so the sticks they have in there aren't anything special.

That RAM from NewEgg is the wrong RAM. You pointed out DDR2-667 RAM for the previous iMacs, what I'm selling here is DDR2-800 for the current iMacs. In fact, I didn't find any DDR2-800 for the iMacs there at all.

Also, most of the RAM you pointed out on eBay was either 240 pin or DDR2-667. Neither if which will work/or is recommended for the new iMacs.

You can buy 1GB sticks all day long on ebay.com for under $15/each shipped. buy.com has 2GB sticks (not 2x1GB) for under $50 shipped (after rebate and google checkout discount) 2 weeks ago this was priced at under $40 as they put the price up.

$50 for 2x1GB sticks with no warranty is not worth it. Maybe $30, no more then $30 shipped!

Your better off buying a 1GB or 2GB stick from buy.com or newegg.com and getting a lifetime warranty as these 2x1GB sticks your selling has no warranty and I have purchased a 1GB from someone and it failed when I got it, I ended up having to eat $5 as he did refund the $10 out of $15 but still, if you go brand new its guaranteed and has a warranty for life for the same price your asking...

I just did a search on eBay and the cheapest I found was $33.98 and that was for only 1 gig. If you don't want it then don't buy it.

Oh, and again it's the wrong RAM. You pointed out DDR2-667 which is not what I'm selling.


What the heck. Either you want to buy his ram or you don't!!

Geez!!

EXACTLY! Thanks.
