What to do with original Mac Pro 2013 memory?

[thomasfalke]

Hi all,

what can I do with the original 12GB of Apple memory (bought 64GB Crucial memory), can I sell it to PC users?


Thanks!

Not to PC users no, I think it's non EEC, but plenty of people are still using the older MP, and selling to them ought to be an easy enough job. It's branded Apple RAM too, so that's a bonus.

Thanks Macman. What's the value? 100 Euro?

I would be tempted to keep them till the Applecare expires.

Why would you offer advice when you don't know?

ECC RAM...says it right there.

You might consider holding onto it for a little just in case there is a problem and Apple needs to replace the nMP. They will want that "Apple" RAM back.

I guess it really depends on who wants and needs it, but there won't be any issues selling it....I'd take a look around on eBay etc and see what others are asking...I also take the point about holding on to it just in case. Depends on how much you need the cash I guess.

Agreed, good move until warranty is over.
