    I bought 32GB of DDR4 RAM for cheap (even for the time) just before the prices really started skyrocketing. They only had a few extras in stock and I strongly considered buying them out and trying to resell them. If I’d done so I could probably retire by now.

    I just sold 2x8Gb of G.Skill DDR4 RAM for only 60€ so I guess I was way below market. I don’t really mind because I mostly wanted to get rid of it and help someone get cheaper RAM in doing so. Hopefully the buyer won’t try to speculate to make a lot of money off of someone else…

      Doesn’t make sense, why sell anything below market, especially when you have 0 idea who bought it? Charity I understand, but this ain’t it boss.

        I sold it at this amount when I saw offers for the same RAM model around 60€. I don’t get why they would be so much lower than many other offers though.

          Because they are also the ones buying the ram being put up.

          You put up listings for cheap with no intent to sell. Individual sellers put up their ram for the same price thinking it’s fair.

          You then go buy that cheap ram and resell it elsewhere for five times the value.

          This is age old market board pvp. Been a common thing for God who knows how long.
