#1Samsung 32GB DDR5-4800 RDIMM - Lot of 4 sticks (128GB total) - GovDeals
| Current price (bid) | $1,830.44 |
| All-in estimate | $2,259 |
| Comparable resale (asking-based) | $2,958 |
| Projected margin | +30.9% |
| Projected profit | $699 |
| Max buy price (30% bar) | $1,844 |
WATCH
Closest deal of the day and the only one at/above the 30% bar on paper - but NOT bid-grade: status is Reserve Not Met (the $1,830.44 bid does not buy it; any reserve above ~$1,844 fails the 30% rule), and it closes Oct 16 12:06 PM PT, just outside the 48h window. Sensitivity: at $800/stick gross resale the margin falls to ~23%. Seller: University of Delaware - IT Central IT, Newark DE. Buyer premium 12.5% confirmed. All-in = $1,830.44 x 1.125 + $100 shipping + $100 testing/DOA. Conservative resale $850/stick gross, anchored on today's live eBay bulk asking for 16x32GB DDR5-4800 RDIMM at $870.50/stick (itm 168322454395); single-stick retail asks are higher (A-Tech 2x32GB kit $2,487.54). Net resale = 4 x $850 x 0.87 eBay fee. eBay SOLD was blocked by a sign-in redirect today, so comps are asking-based. Lot composition (4 sticks total) is from the lot Q&A read live Oct 14 - it supersedes the earlier single-stick reading.
#2Lot of 2x Samsung 32GB DDR4-2666 ECC RDIMM (64GB total)
| Current price (buy-it-now) | $499 |
| All-in estimate | $539 |
| Comparable resale (asking-based) | $557 |
| Projected margin | +3.3% |
| Projected profit | $18 |
| Max buy price (30% bar) | $388 |
WATCH
Thin positive spread only because it is a 2-stick lot priced under single-stick asks. Needs a Best Offer near the $388 max to matter. Carried from Oct 13 scan (not re-verified live Oct 14): asking comps on the same PicClick/eBay index page: SK Hynix 32GB DDR4-3200 RDIMM $254.04, Micron 32GB DDR4-2933 $420, 4x32GB DDR4 kit $1,310.70. Conservative resale $320/stick gross.

| Comparable resale (asking-based) | $2,665 |
| Projected margin | +1.9% |

PASS
Bid UP from $1,625 (13 bids, Oct 13) to $1,925 (21 bids) when re-checked live Oct 14 ~08:41 AM PT, still open, closing today Oct 14 11:45 AM PT, Tappahannock VA, buyer premium 12.5%. Yesterday's closest near-miss is now dead at the current bid - all-in $2,616 vs $2,665 net resale. Max bid remains ~$1,400. All-in = $1,925 x 1.125 + $300 freight + $150 testing. Contents re-confirmed live Oct 14: 13x SK hynix 32GB 2Rx4 PC4-2666V + 10x Samsung 16GB 1Rx4 PC4-2666V, removed from a working environment. Resale built from active eBay asking ranges for 32GB/16GB DDR4 RDIMM (eBay SOLD blocked). The +1.9% margin holds only under the 13/10 breakdown; an all-16GB lot would resell near ~$1,400 net.
#4SK Hynix 32GB 2Rx4 PC4-3200AA DDR4 RDIMM (HMA82GR7DJR4N)
| Current price (buy-it-now) | $254.04 |

| Comparable resale (asking-based) | $278 |
| Projected margin | -1.4% |
| Projected profit | $-4 |
| Max buy price (30% bar) | $186 |
WATCH
Essentially breakeven at ask; only interesting on a Best Offer at or below ~$186. Carried from Oct 13 scan (not re-verified live Oct 14): asking comps on the same index page: Micron 32GB DDR4-2933 RDIMM $420; Samsung 32GB pairs $499. Conservative resale $320 gross.

PASS
Open-box system pulls from a high-volume memory seller. Priced at the bottom of the resale range already - no broker spread at ask. Carried from Oct 13 scan: Samsung 64GB DDR4-3200 RDIMM used listings $902.43-$1,133.26 asking; conservative resale $1,050 gross. Today's live bulk search again showed used OEM 64GB DDR4 singles at $439.99-$509.99 and true RDIMM lots at $449-$500/stick - no sub-$400/stick working RDIMM (sub-$400 entries were LRDIMM only).
#6LOT 4 HP PM983 3.84TB SSD PCIe NVMe U.2 2.5 (Best Offer)
| Current price (buy-it-now) | $2,673.04 |
| All-in estimate | $2,936 |
| Comparable resale (asking-based) | $2,724 |
| Projected margin | -7.2% |
| Projected profit | $-212 |
| Max buy price (30% bar) | $1,833 |
PASS
Ask would need to fall to ~$1,833 to clear 30% - a ~31% cut, unlikely via Best Offer. Re-checked live Oct 14: $2,673.04 + $62.61 delivery, Best Offer YES, seller tbcitdepot, Canada, Pre-Owned ($668.26/drive). Conservative resale $800/drive gross from U.2 3.84TB asking evidence ($689-$720/drive bulk lots today; healthy singles $550-$555 at the low end are single-drive asks). Net resale = 4 x $800 x 0.87 - $60 outbound shipping. Health percentages not stated - the swing factor.
#7512GB DDR5 8x64GB Server Memory Kingston KSM48R40BD4-64MD RDIMM LOT Kit (Best Offer)
| Current price (buy-it-now) | $19,402.68 |
| All-in estimate | $19,633 |
| Comparable resale (asking-based) | $18,096 |
| Projected margin | -7.8% |
| Projected profit | $-1,537 |
| Max buy price (30% bar) | $13,689 |
PASS
Bulk lot priced at retail per-stick level. Only works at <= ~$13,689 for the lot (~$1,711/stick all-in basis) - far below ask. New live find Oct 14 (bulk-lot pattern): $19,402.68 + $30.50 delivery, Best Offer YES, seller aoz_103 100% (531), Open Box - $2,425.34/stick, the cheapest DDR5 64GB bulk lot today (no working DDR5 64GB under $1,600/stick anywhere). Conservative resale $2,600/stick gross (Oct 13 asking range $2,381-$2,760 for the Samsung 64GB SKU); net = 8 x $2,600 x 0.87.
#8EMC 3.84TB NVMe U.2 SSD Samsung PM1723b (63-68% health stated)
| Current price (buy-it-now) | $385 |
| All-in estimate | $450 |
| Comparable resale (asking-based) | $413 |
| Projected margin | -8.2% |
| Projected profit | $-37 |
| Max buy price (30% bar) | $253 |
PASS
Screen-flag on price, fail on health. Worn enterprise SSDs are the classic trap in this category - health % is decisive and 63-68% caps resale below cost. All-in = $385 + $14.99 shipping + $50 testing/DOA. New live find Oct 14: $385.00 + $14.99 delivery, Best Offer NO, seller asmarketplaceonline 100% (2.8K), Pre-Owned. The ONLY working U.2 3.84TB under $500 today - but the title itself states 63-68% health. Conservative resale set at $475 gross for a worn drive (next-cheapest healthy singles $550.00 Intel D7-P5520 / $555.00 Micron 9300 PRO asking); net = $475 x 0.87. Even at a healthy-drive $550 gross, margin would be only ~+6%.
#9Lot of 4 Micron 9200 PRO 3.84TB NVMe U.2 2.5in Enterprise SSD
| Current price (buy-it-now) | $2,800 |
| All-in estimate | $3,000 |
| Comparable resale (asking-based) | $2,724 |
| Projected margin | -9.2% |
| Projected profit | $-276 |
| Max buy price (30% bar) | $1,895 |
PASS
Priced at roughly conservative resale before costs. Only works at <= ~$1,895 for the lot (~$474/drive). Re-confirmed live Oct 14 at the same $2,800, free delivery, Best Offer NO, seller tech.vaulttx ($700/drive). Conservative resale $800/drive gross; the 9200 PRO is an older PCIe 3.0 platform, which caps end-user pricing. All-in = $2,800 + $200 testing/DOA.
#10Samsung PM983 1.92TB NVMe M.2 22110 enterprise SSD (used)
| Current price (buy-it-now) | $278.07 |
| All-in estimate | $296 |
| Comparable resale (asking-based) | $260 |
| Projected margin | -12.2% |
| Projected profit | $-36 |
| Max buy price (30% bar) | $182 |
PASS
M.2 22110 form factor, not the U.2/U.3 target SKUs - narrower end-user pool. Priced at retail; no spread. Carried from Oct 13 scan (not re-verified live Oct 14): seller's own listing shows a $299 'recent sales price' reference and $278.07 current ask; no independent sold data obtainable (eBay SOLD blocked again Oct 14 by sign-in redirect). Conservative resale $299 gross.
