At first I was thinking, "WTF, why did the prices shoot up so high?" And then I looked up how much I spent on the same amount of RAM rated for the same speeds back in 2022: Three Hundred Fucking Dollars. The price didn't shoot up; it never went down!
For larger RAM chips if went up - sometimes more than double - in half a year. I can literally look at the RAM I purchased in June and it's more than twice that price now
