*Update-Deal bad*Kingston 512MB DDR PC2100 CL2.5 for $95 shipped

[BrunoPuntzJones]

Ripped from hot-deals.org

GoGoCity

Looks like an auction, but is not (according to hot-deals). Cost is $85 and $10 shipping. Again it's not an auction, it has a fixed price when you actually buy it.

edit: PsychoAndy added this further down

I just called the vendor. The memory you guys are loading up on at $85 plus shipping is KINGSTON PART NUMBER KVR 800 X16 /256
That is a kingston 256 meg stick of RDRAM. 184 pin 2.5 volt.

The one that is 512MB DDR CL2.5 PC2100 is kingston part number KVR-266 X72 C25/ 512ECC or KVR-266 X 4C25 /512

I was quoted $155 for the ECC, $139 for the non-ecc.

/edit

Buyer beware indeed Sorry guys, was just passing on the deal from hot-deals. Hopefully not too many folks ordered...

Wow! Now that's hot if it's legit. I might have to bump my PC up for 1GB for that cheap.

i've done business with gogocity a year or so back, theyre good people from my experience.

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

Yeah just scroll to the bottom and it's $85 and you select USA ground for $10.

This isn't GoGo actually, just an Auction place?? Hmmmmmm, but why would the invoice say Gogocity. I must stop talking to myself.

 

[UofI]

Is this legit? I dont want some dead memory. The price alone is superb:Q

 

[UofI]

They dont take a credit card? I take it I have to pay prior before shipping?

 

[MoMoney]

Looks like it's ECC RAM. Can I still use it along with 2 sticks of non-ECC RAM?

 

[Gujski]

I am trying to create an account and it is asking for payment option, but it only has check, money order and paypal....no Credit Card? Am I doing something wrong? I want to use my Amex Blue on this

 

[UofI]

You have to send payment to: Charlie Chen
748 S. Epperson Dr.,
city of industry CA 91748
USA

Is this correct? I am really skeptical about this deal. I just send someone funds and hope they ship it out?:Q

 

[UofI]

I to do not see a credit card as a form of payment...

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

Don't kill the messenger

I don't know if they take CC or what, caveat empor or something.

 

[avhokie]

Could this look any more shady?

 

[kermalou]

He is a PayPal Verified Busness Member whatever that means.

Pay To:
GOGOCITY INC.,
User Status:
Verified Business Member (494)

 

[zzzz]

It is NON-ECC.

 

[avhokie]

A few questions.

How can you tell if a seller is verified (Paypal) and what their rating is before actually sending them money?
If you've ordered the memory, did you pay sales tax or insurance? The page says that insurance is extra and optional, but doesn't say how much it is.

 

[UofI]

I am gonna pass on this deal. Just to risky.

 

[IgoByte]

Now, if this only were legit.

The "auction" or store front clearly states:
KINGSTON 512MB DDRAM 512MB DDR CL2.5 PC2100
KVR266X64C25/512
KINGSTON 512MB 266mhz DDR@0.01 NR 1 $85.00

 

[UofI]

Andy,
Why are they advertising it wrong? It says ddr and your getting rdram? Thank god I didnt paypal them the funds. I hate these shaddy deals.

 

[vladgur]

If thats true, that is very unfortunate for GOGOCITY. I just received the confirmation from AuctionWatch Storefront(thats what GOGOCITY is using) for the DDR ram and here is what it says

Dear XXXX XXX

We hope you enjoyed shopping with GOGOCITY.
Please find below your purchase summary and order confirmation.

I already paid with paypal and if they send me RDRAM, I will have to dispute with Paypal, but just in case I printed out the original order page...

 

[PsychoAndy]

bingo.

she said that he only KINGSTON ram they are selling for $85 is a 256 800mhz stick

the non ecc 512 meg PC2100 is $139

 

[PsychoAndy]

WTF does it say KINGSTON 512MB 266mhz DDR@0.01 NR

as the item at checkout?


266mhz isnt PC2100 is it?

 

[Schmo]

<< WTF does it say KINGSTON 512MB 266mhz DDR@0.01 NR

PC2100 = 266MHz
PC1600 = 200MHz
PC2700 = 333MHz

those are DDR rates of course.
