    Just wait for OpenSlop to go bancrupt by it’s ridiculously exessive shopping spree.

    All the stacked memory returns to market and manufacturers revert to normal routine and prices because of diminished pull.

    Hell, maybe even Samsung sells it’s old production lines, which are now in storage, to budget manufacturers as it normally does.

      Anyone paying this much for 64 GB of RAM has more severe problems than the hardware crisis…

        That’s more expensive than the culmination of parts I’ve acquired over the years that has resulted in my current PC - and I’ve spent a good amount of money on it.

        My 5 year old computer needs to chug along for another 5 years before I can contemplate an upgrade with the market as messed up as it is.

        Damn clankers taking our RAM.

      Jesus Christ that’s pretty much what I bought last year for like $200 or something…

      Edit: actually the “more options” shows from $240-$3,980" so this image could just be a scumbag seller. I’ve seen assholes sell deodorant for like $40 over the real selling price. Amazon is like the wild west when it comes to sellers

    I have 4 sticks of ddr5 16gb, I’m seeing the exact model selling on Amazon with a delivery window of tomorrow for a total of $800. I paid $200 a year ago. It’s a good ROI but Im not seeing anything near the $3-5 grand shown.

    Edit: I mean it’s sitting unused and I want to sell it.

      Yeah I have 64GB DDR5 6400, and I am kicking myself that I didn’t get more. Yeah 64GB is enough. But might be a while before I can get more.

      It’s a good ROI

      You’re part of the problem.

      Thinking buying PC memory “as an investment” so you can upsell it or just the thought process of “my RAM is appreciating in value”, is just so stupid to me…

      But we’ve all been indoctrinated into this capitalist slop to varying degrees.

        He said it is a good roi, not that he bought it originally thinking of it as an investment

          ROI: Return On Investment

          “He said he got a good return on his investment, but it wasn’t an investment, he wasn’t thinking about investment returns, but he got a good return on his investment.”

          Cheesus apeshit fucking christmas.

            Correct, you can purchase something without the intention of it being an investment and it still ends up being profitable. It’s a pretty simple concept, friend. I don’t think doubling down is the right approach for you here. Maybe you just read it wrong?

              No but I also don’t really care. I just think the language is dumb, because it is.

              ROI has a more specific meaning. This wasn’t ROI by any means. They didn’t invest in anything. They bought some ram and because of inflation and high demand on ram, it’s now worth more.

              It’s a stupid way to communicate, and incorrect.

              Return on investment (ROI) is a financial metric used to evaluate the profitability of an investment by comparing its net income or profit to its costs. It helps businesses assess the efficiency of their investments and make informed decisions about where to allocate resources.

              Using ROI when someone bought a stick of ram for their PC is ridiculous.

        Uh no, I bought it for a new build but it didn’t work with my mobo and the return window closed before I could build the machine and find that out. I’ve had it for 1.5 years.

    I’m very tempted to sell my memory and go back to a DDR3 machine until things normalize again.
