[HELP] Buying ram

[vegal]

Hello friends.
The problem is that I think that I can get cheaper ram from ebay or something so I need to know the model details for buying from ebay. Crucial.com shows me this information.
So what do I put in ebay to find the ram model?
Thanks!

You can put exactly what you highlighted to search for that model.

Some sellers may not list their items with that particular phrase though. A more general search of Crucial would also work.

With how cheap RAM is on Newegg or Amazon, why would you resort to ebay? Honest question...

If it's DDR3, you can buy it new for cheap. But for some reason DDR2 holds its price pretty steady. I've seen used DDR2 going for $10-15 less on Ebay.

I will now look for it on ebay
Much <3 to anandtech and the helpers

EDIT: I went to ebay and all I find is laptop ram
I put in "ddr2 pc2-5300 " am I doing something wrong?

I'm guessing it's because a lot of laptop ram were DDR2-666. There's a lot more desktop ram available as DDR2-800.
