indeed it is!
I bought one of these cards from him last year and it's flawless. It's
virtually just a plug-and-play deal. I think I actually got the last
one from his initial production run. I have no idea if he'll ever do
another run, though.
I also have a second third-party RAM expansion card, called the Sirius
RAM Card. It will add up to 8 megabytes (instead of 4) to a IIGS. I
believe the card I have is damaged, however, as I've never been able to
get it to work with more than 1 megabyte. The instructions that come
with it are somewhat confusing as to the correct jumper settings so it
could simply be user error. Though I did spend days and days trying to
get it to work, and I think I tried just about all possible jumper
combinations. It was suggested at the time that maybe I should try
using SIMMs that were all the same manufacturer/speed instead of
mismatched 1MB SIMMs. Unfortunately, I didn't (still don't) have 8
identical 1MB SIMMs.
Maybe some day I'll dig it out again and give it another go.

It probably was the card by Bill Garber, who run GarberStreet
Enterprises. I've got one of these cards, and they're well-made, and
do what they're advertised to do--add memory to your computer. (I've
been after Bill to make other cards, and they're all on his rather
long to-do list. :) )
If the card you saw on ebay say GarberStreet, and has Vince Briel's
name on it as designer, it's a good card.

I saw on ebay the other day a 4mb memory expansion card. It wasn't
the normal Apple one but a 3rd party unit. Does anybody know who
manufacturers these boards?
