Do you want the advantage of having matched pairs of 512mb genuine oem apple ram (ddr2 pc5300 667mhz) and get that extra little boost of performance? these were directly pulled from a macbook and it worked perfectly in the macbook.

In exchange, i'd like your apple oem 1gb stick of ddr2 pc5300 667mhz ram.

Just to update: I will also include $10 with my RAM. I can send it via paypal or include a $10 bill when i mail out my 2x512mb RAM.

well, in terms of valuable, just going by Newegg.com - Buy Computer Parts, Laptop Computers, Digital Cameras, and Electronics for ram prices:

2 sticks of 512mb (whether as a bundle or bought 1 stick at a time) is actually MORE expensive than 1 stick of 1gb.

besides, i view it more as a tradeoff. 2 sticks of 512mb gives you the extra boost that matching ram provides. 1 stick of 1gb gives you extra expansion space later.

in terms of trading, I have traded my laser mouse for a bluetooth mouse
http://forums.macnn.com/59/marketpla...h-mx900-mouse/

and i have also cross shipped some RAM (ie - i sent the check at the same time the seller sent the ram) (but i can't find the thread right now)

i have excellent macnn forums references as well as 178 ebay feedback rating. i would expect good references before agreeing to a cross ship, or i would respectfully ask for your ram to be sent to me first, if there are no references on your end.
