    Alright, after waiting for a week and a half for a package to be shipped from ****ing Ohio to Arkansas, i was getting ready to file a complaint with ebay, until it showed up today. :/ Well, to say the least, i was iffy about the package that enclosed my ram. $60 ram to be exact.

    This is the bubble wrap package the ram was in, and he only protection it had. And i have also, never seen a pink antistatic bag. [​IMG]

    But wait! There is something else in the package.

    Nice, a single peanut :p What more protection can you ask for?


    As for RAM, have you checked online stores like NewEgg and ZipZoomFly for better prices? Though it seems like that RAM module is PC3100 or something, so it may get pricey.

    I'm surprised you didn't receive it in pieces.

    I do agree with coriolis, buy stuff like that off newegg where they pack it good along with good warranties.

    I normally use newegg, or pricewatch, but nothing they had was this cheap, that's why i turned to ebay. It's 2700 ddr333.

    It did come through USPS, i'm sure if it had been through ups, or fedex, mixed in with all those big boxes, i woulda got it in peices. :(

    Never doubt the one mighty peanut. It did its job right? :p It was just too good, so it didn't allow any other peanuts to help.
