I'll take the 4 x 4 meg for $300.

As long as you dont give it a static charge getting it out of the machine,
then I will trust you that it is the RAM that has been adequately handling
all the messages for the past year or so :-)

Place ram in one of the antistatic bags that PC boards come in.
Surround bag with two layers of bubble packing and place in box, so that
there is no slack space.

If you are worried about Aust Post losing or damaging it, then Insure it
and I will pay the insurance as well as the postage.

If you don't trust me to pay, then send it COD.
If you do trust me to pay, then let me know an address to post cheque to,
or if you prefer, a bank, branch and account number and name to deposit the
money to. (probably the least hassle)

I can be contacted on 002-730-934 if you feel so inclined (my dime)

Kind Regards
