The AI bubble is certainly going to burst at some point. Assuming manufacturers are ramping up production to profit off of the higher prices, the bubble will result in a glut of supply after demand collapses. So we'll likely see a year or two of depressed electronics prices.
On top of that, DDR5 is worth more than gold until DDR6 comes along and suddenly you have companies who own a significant percentage of the 2025 global production of RAM that want to purchase newer hardware. I doubt all of that RAM is going to be shredded, so we may have a thriving secondary market when that happens.
It'll suck for the next year or two, so get used to your current PC and pray that you don't have a RAM failure.
