If you want to buy 100 DIMMS or 21 μPs, none of which is going to be the genuine product, nor have a manufacturer's warranty to protect your purchase, and wait forever to receive them, go for it.

Did u have any experience on this company? They looks scam too me too, but Alibab has verified them & I’m not sure that verification is valid or just a .png icon?!
 
No, but I do have experience buying from China.

Unless you are a brand name company, in your own right, and have a plant rep in China to insure QC, expect buying to be a crap shoot, and very problematic.
 
I never go for that then. Thanks for tip
I’m looking to buy bulk of used RAM & CPUs for my shop, the working ones of course.
 
Just to clarify....

When making bulk purchases from China, you have to accept that there WILL be a certain percentage of DOA components in what you receive. From the Chinese perspective, you are paying very little for the purchase, so you should expect this as a normal cost of doing business in this way.

Should you have an unacceptable level of DOA components, you will find yourself in one of three situations:

1.) Tough s#it. You are on your own. Better luck next time.

2.) You get to pay for shipping of the DOA units back to China for evaluation and warranty (if one even exists) replacement. Shipping FROM China is dirt-cheap. Shipping TO China, on the other hand, often exceeds the cost of your total original purchase--including what you paid for shipping from China to you.

3.) Some organizations will state that they will replace DOA items--at no cost to you--upon receipt of PROOF of the defect causing the DOA condition...often stated as "photograph of the defect". Think of how you can render photographic PROOF of RAM or μP failure that will be sufficiently convincing to an organization that is motivated to discount such proof. In all honesty, it just can't be done.

My experience has shown me that, in extreme cases, you may get anywhere from a 50% to 10% good unit yield from such purchases; leaving you to ask yourself if the calculated price per good unit is an equitable return on your investment of time and money.

Your odds of getting "enough" good units for your needs obviously increase as you increase the unit quantity of your order; but, do you really want to buy 3- or 4-hundred of something to get just 1- or 2-hundred good units to work with?

And that's before you even consider the actual performance specs of the "good" units you receive.

If you want to get your hands on functioning used components, have you considered contacting the various e-waste recyclers in your area?

Many do offer "system-pulled" components for quite a good price.
 
Thanks for your all honest tips, any suggestion on which online store I buy from?
Is Amazon & ebay much more reliable for what I’m looking for?
 
Not really. I minimize my purchasing of used components, and generally restrict the few purchases I've made to people with whom I negotiate in meatspace. I'm told that, with only one eye, and an imposing physical presence, I have an advantage in dealing with people face to face. I can't figure out why, though.

My brother does buy on eBay, and CraigsList, but he has been burned more than once. It is his opinion that eBay has mechanisms in place that make such purchases a bit safer.

YMMV
 
i know this is old, but seems nobody here has ever even used any of their products and just makes assumptions... and this is for anyone who happens to come across this. no <Mod Edit> there are <Mod Edit> chinese brands, but literally everything comes from china... pretty much... that's why you use paypal or something with buyer protection, with even 3rd party sellers on amazon, etc... so you're covered. and i have actually used 4 sticks of their ram for years, and it has been the most stable ram i've ever used. never had a single problem, AND it is BY FAR the lowest profile, really possible. the memory ic's and the pins are it as far as height, nearly half the height of all my other ddr3, that don't have a giant "heat sink" on them just looking pretty and getting in the way. this is my only experience with them, but they are definitely not just a straight up scam. these came in a "custom" dell 7010 i got years ago. and after being ran basically 24/7, gamed with, 3d rendering, everything... and now are basically my go to test ram, unless i want to overclock. never tried overclocking these, just run them at the initial setting. i don't think i ever really even got into my dell bios, other than maybe once or twice. but anyway, they do work very well. all 4 8gb sticks still run perfectly fine. they had some listed on amazon that even looked really nice. black pcb's and all just like everyone else, i mean i think all ram is pretty much made by like 3 or 4 manufacturers anyway. just maybe better binned parts or something. i would try them again if i just needed a normal pc for everyday stuff, or if i need some for testing on other platforms. i only have one ddr5 system, and a bunch of ddr3 stuff. the ad was for ddr3, but i wouldn't hesitate trying theirs if i found some for a good price.
