That may be the case for DDR3, given that you can buy 2GB DDR3 SODIMMs on eBay for about $8 including shipping, but the old DDR, which I guess we should call DDR1, topped out at 1GB, with the exceptions of some 2GB server DIMMS. The going price for a 1GB PC-3200 SODIMM is about $24, 512MB around $10.

Of course you can question the wisdom to putting any time and effort into upgrading a laptops that are at least 8 years old (like my Thinkpad T40 and T42).

I have a laptop memory card that needs a new home. It's a PC2700 (CL2.5)
512MB DDR SO-DIMM, manufactured by TwinMOS. It worked when I took it
out
of my laptop awhile ago to upgrade - as far as I know is still
functional. If someone is willing to come pick it up in Woburn, let me
know and it's yours.

Eek...  I regularly throw 1G and 2G modules in the garbage, as people
upgrade their laptops to 4G or 8G...  Even the users don't want the 1G or 2G
modules for home, because buying new ones is so cheap...
