What each brand pays

Brand changes what used memory is 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 $7–$8
SK Hynix Tier-1 OEM DRAM; near-Samsung liquidity in the server channel. $7–$8
Micron Tier-1 OEM DRAM; strong data-center demand. $7–$8
Crucial Micron's retail arm — genuine Micron silicon, thinner enterprise resale. $6–$7
Kingston Reliable, high-volume module maker; softer resale premium than the OEM three. $6–$7
Corsair Enthusiast/desktop brand; limited server-channel demand. $6–$6
G.Skill Enthusiast/desktop brand; limited server-channel demand. $6–$6
ADATA Value module maker; lower used-market liquidity. $5–$6
Third-party Nemix, A-Tech, Timetec and similar third-party assemblers — we still buy, at a lower payout. $5–$5
Unknown Unbranded or unidentifiable modules; priced conservatively, still purchased. $4–$5

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

First-generation DDR4 laptop memory still moves: 8GB 2133 sticks like Samsung's M471A1K43BB1-CPB and the Avant-built modules (AVJ641GU87J5213N1-SAEP) that OEMs shipped in mid-2010s notebooks. At this tier working condition matters far more than speed grade, and lots beat singles every time. Tell us the count and the brand mix and we will price the batch as one number.

Questions

How much is a 8GB DDR4-2133 SODIMM worth in 2026?

Our current indicative payout is $7-$8 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 tracks the price we pay week over week.

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.
