Anyone used this deliciously cheap but suspicious Crucial RAM?

[WristyManchego]

Looking for a 4GB single stick of 667 for my MacBook Pro 3,1 upgrade.

It's a pretty hard to come by pice of kit, Mushkin make one but its almost $200 at RamCity.

Found this guy on ebay, anyone purchased one of these suspicious Crucial sticks?

Warning!

If you read the seller's feedback quite a lot of negative reports of memory not working. Note the seller is from China where a lot of fraud sales originate. The specs are right so if you think it is worth the risk, go for nit.

If you are worried about making the purchase outright, then stick with established vendors or go directly to Crucial or OWC for your RAM.

The advice given is good and super safe but I've also purchased several things from such Ebay (and others) and sellers from China. One main disadvantage is delivery can take several weeks or months, just check.
Also at least ebay and places like PayPal can guarantee your purchase or at least money back, sometimes with a long wait and some correspondence:

Check these as a minimum and/or your credit card company:
As shown at that site:

Payments: PayPal
Ebay: Money Back Guarantee
