Let’s all band together, sell our collective RAM, buy a Learjet and enjoy the good life!

I bought 64gb of ram (4 sticks of 16gb) back in Jan 2025 last year with a new gaming build. I paid $ 189 AUD for 32gb. Same price now of identical ram 32gb (I just checked) is $ 749 AUD showing as on discount from $ 811 AUD but totally unavailable – this from a major online Oz retail and online seller. Who needs gold as an investment ?

If I need to pull my RAM sticks for any reason I’ll have a security guard standing by !
Cheers
Reg

IF they have it.
I decommissioned and mothballed one of my PC’s in the case I would need spare ram or a GPU because it is getting to the point where the average person cannot afford to buy these things new anymore.

Indeed, sad but true, Jim.

Last year, 40% of the world’s new RAM was scooped up by large companies to further their AI development. And that situation will only worsen.
