What each brand pays

Brand changes what used memory are worth — Samsung sets the benchmark, then the other tier-one makers, and value brands pay a little less. We still buy every brand on this list.

Brand Indicative payout
Samsungbest price $31–$39
SK Hynix Tier-1 OEM DRAM; near-Samsung liquidity in the server channel. $30–$37
Micron Tier-1 OEM DRAM; strong data-center demand. $29–$37
Crucial Micron's retail arm — genuine Micron silicon, thinner enterprise resale. $27–$34
Kingston Reliable, high-volume module maker; softer resale premium than the OEM three. $26–$33
Corsair Enthusiast/desktop brand; limited server-channel demand. $25–$31
G.Skill Enthusiast/desktop brand; limited server-channel demand. $25–$31
ADATA Value module maker; lower used-market liquidity. $24–$30
Third-party Nemix, A-Tech, Timetec and similar third-party assemblers — we still buy, at a lower payout. $20–$26
Unknown Unbranded or unidentifiable modules; priced conservatively, still purchased. $19–$23

Ranges are non-binding and scaled from the Samsung benchmark for this exact spec — your firm quote comes by email within 4 business hours.

What this module is

A 16GB DDR4 UDIMM desktop module at 3200 MT/s. Enthusiast DDR4 memory holds value even in a soft consumer market because builders and repair shops need matched capacity, and the current shortage lifted the whole curve. Sticks with undamaged heat spreaders and working XMP/EXPO profiles — Corsair, G.Skill, Crucial, Kingston — are the quickest to move. Typical part numbers are CT16G4DFRA32A.

Questions

How much is a 16GB DDR4-3200 UDIMM worth in 2026?

Our current indicative payout is $31-$39 per unit in used working condition, with the firm number emailed within 4 business hours of your quote request. The range moves with the market — the Payout Index shows what we actually paid over the trailing 30 days.

Will a module pulled from a working server count as "used, working"?

Yes — pulled-from-working with an intact label and clean pins is exactly our base grade, quoted at the full range shown. Our bench verifies with an SPD read and a MemTest pass, and the measured spec always wins over the sticker.

Do I need to wipe RAM before selling it?

No — DRAM is volatile and loses its contents at power-off, so there is nothing to wipe by the time it reaches us. Storage is different: every SSD and laptop we buy is erased to NIST 800-88 with a free emailed certificate.

What if I have more than eight sticks?

Quantity helps you: 8+ identical modules earn +3%, 32+ earn +6%, and pallet-scale lots go through our business desk with a manifest quote and New England pickup available.

How fast do I actually get paid?

Zelle or PayPal within 48 hours of test completion; typical mail-to-money is 5-7 days end to end. Your quote locks before you ship, and if the market drops after we quote, we pay the quote anyway.
