Yep, it doubled in the last 4 months https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5Zc-FsUDCM I upgraded my PC by adding 64GB.. two Fridays ago I sold the 32 GB I took out for the same amount of what I paid for the 64 GB in July... insane

I bought a refurbished laptop with 64gb ddr4 (so-dimm) last week. It was just slightly more expensive than the 32gb variant with same specs. I guess the seller was not yet aware of the high memory prices.

In a week or two I might be able to make a profit by just selling the memory.

		There's cheap adapters that allow you to use SO-DIMM memory in desktop DIMM slots. Of course performance will suffer compared to native DIMM sticks, but if you happen to have SO-DIMM laying around that you aren't currently using, this might be a nice use for it.

And I'm beating myself for not preemptively ordering that 128G kit for $500 a couple of months ago, thinking about upgrading soon.

Last week it went to $1300 and now it's not available anymore.

Guess I'll just skip AM5 and wait for AM6 at this rate...

		Same situation. I looked up the previous RAM boom and bust cycles (thanks Gemini) and we are looking at over a year of waiting potentially.

Bought a 64gb upgrade kit in September for my wife's new PC for $205. The same kit right now on Newegg is $570. That's not even double in 4 months; thats almost triple in 2 months.

		If I can get that right now $389 retail is there an arb opportunity (not in US, but maybe you are getting fucked on tariffs? Could that be the difference?)
