discussion DDR5 pricing going up FAST

[freeagent]

If you see me at the mall, don't tell my wife I said that

So what you are saying is I should be checking my old unused RAM and selling it on FB?

i wonder how much i could get for a kit of DDR4 128gb 4x32gb 3600mhz

might be able to put a downpayment on a house with these.

Crap I gave away 4x4GB of DDR3 Kingston low profile RAM with my old FX9370 CPU and Crosshair IV board.

I still have I think 256GB DDR 3 Server ram from my old Duel Operon build from years back

Now it's full market pricing. Also in the news, motherboard sales are projected to fall because of memory pricing. Furthermore, shops are now doing dynamic pricing on RAM since it changes for them daily.

Always sad when things go this way and just exacerbates the issue at hand. All these people that had RAM sitting around collecting dust, suddenly selling it at huge profits. Why not sell it for what you paid?

People sure weren't doing that when they were offloading GPUs during those dark days. Only now do I see them somewhat reasonable locally.

I would straight trade the ram in my system for a 5080, but not a Gigabyte.. after Christmas haha when people are desperate.

Sounds crazy I know.. but..



I still have a couple of sets of 6000C30 that do what these can do.

Only that a 5080 is going to be super expensive after Christmas too since there's no GDDR7 available either

You will need to trade 2 sets of RAM!
