Well, off the top of my head I can think of one group of people who's going to need lots of 72 pin SIMMs in a couple of months: c-one owners! make sure you separate out all the ones that are 60ns or better, at least 4MB in size - those are the ones used for "multimedia memory".  There are going to be 300 c-one owners when Jeri and Jens are finally happy with the boards, which should be in the not-too-distant future... Jens has high standards, but he has mentioned that he really does want to sell them soon.  Your biggest competition here is going to be the "old parts box" that most of us have lying around from previous upgrades...

Not really - all he has to do is look at the longest string of digits on any of the chips and do a Google search on it, then do a quick bit of math to find the capacity of the entire stick.  One useful site I got by doing that was http://www.memoryusa.com/guide.html.
