Buy new from macsales.com or crucial.com, and they may (depending on the age) buy your old RAM.

I upgraded RAM and kept my old RAM because there may be a time I am unsure about the condition of the new RAM and will need a fallback position.

No problem.

Both of those sites will guide you to the RAM that matches your system. And you may find that the RAM they try to sell you is more than Apple says you can put in. That is just Apple quoting the RAM modules that were available/reasonably-priced when the system was first being tested -- being "conservative" in short.
