Don’t even get me started on this. I recently been shopping on eBay for some DDR4 memory. You may think - who’d need this dated stuff besides me? Yet 16Gb 3200Mhz is at least 60$. Which is effectively the price you paid for DDR5 6000. Crazy, right?

I have 4 32gb sticks of DDR5 6400 in my machine.

The RAM in my machine being worth more than the graphics card (7900XTX) was not on my bingo card I can tell you that.

Holy cow. I have 96GB of DDR5 I bought at start of year for a machine which never materialized. Might have to flip it.

Never in my dreams I could imagine PC parts could be an investment. Someone should start ETF tracking the prices.

For a while with bitcoin, it seemed GPU investing was almost a thing.

I just checked, the kit I bought in February was $270, today it is showing up for $1070. Woof. Now I have to decide if I should keep it on the off chance I do get around to that machine or dump it while the getting is good. Then again, who wants to buy RAM of unknown provenance unless they themselves are looking to scam the seller.

I'll give you $300 for it! With that kind of money, you can buy an ice-cold sixer and still have some walkin' around money.
