Wanted: PC133 512mb SODIMM sticks

[grenadier]

Seems like I can't post in the sales section

Basically I've been looking for two 512mb PC133 SODIMM ram sticks to put in my laptop (old I know, but it works well). I've been searching high and low to find some obsolete RAM that isn't amazingly overpriced, so does anyone here have a stick or two?

you cant post in sales till you have 100 post. Check newegg. thay have old parts sometimes.

The cost or the ram exceeds the value of the computer though. I have no idea why all these resellers want so much money for this obsolete ram. By their logic the 500MB full hieght 5.5" hard drive I have should be worth at least $150!

Not trying to promote the seller, just using it as example.

Is this what you're looking for?

An understanding of economic theory would reveal that when demand exceeds supply, price goes up. Thus your 'obsolete' ram is not made anymore and when finding it difficult to obtain, those that do have it, can charge basically what they want. Remember, the price of something is simply what someone is willing to pay for it.
