Even if you disclosed this no avg consumer is going to be educated enough on what this actually means to make an informed decision.

Functionally making it a moot point.

Still disclose it tho

    It depends on how it's done.

    "This device uses previously used RAM that may have been used for many years. While the RAM has been previously used, we still offer our full and regular warranty and it has been thoroughly tested to still function"

    Granted... i doubt we'd ever get something along those lines.
