I just don't think people are buying RAM/other PC parts period. new or used.
I've have a listing selling a couple year old sticks of 16gb (32gb total) of DDR4 ram for $120 for like 4 weeks now and not a peep from anyone. I've seen other listings for ram at similar price points that have also been up for weeks.
So i'm not sure if there's an actual shortage or people just simply aren't buying.
That’s so cheap there must be something wrong with them. /s
Wish I had known this, I just bought 16gb total of ddr4 2 weeks ago bc one stick started failing and spent over $150
What specs? I'm in the market for 32Gb of DDR4...
What's the speed on them? I made the mistake of not maxing my am4 build when things started going to shit.
