    Ok, how're they gonna get rid of it? There doesn't seem to be a decent way.

    1)ebay. There's obviously going to be serious scrutiny from ebay now.

    2)trade fairs. Seems most likely to me, but it still seems obvious when you have one seller with a couple boxes of RAM and nothing else.

    3)returning sticks in small quantities to different stores for cash/store credit. The longest way, although chances of being cought would be decreased...

    Seems like one would be better off to raid BB or Fry's IMO. Maybe heavy security, but as long as you can get out in 50 seconds, you get a bit of everything, which doesn't look so suspicious at trade shows...


    And, umm, noo I've never actually done this :worried:
    Stealing is baaad :nono:
