Dw, that won't happen. With RAM prices climbing steadily, consumer electronics won't get cheaper.

Yeah, honestly, best anyone can hope for is OLED remains at the same price.

It's not only RAM but also GPUs and SSDs.

Harddrives too! I needed more drives for my NAS and looked at drives last week, noticed they're all up almost 20% in price since summer.. So I bought a single drive 5 days ago (18tb) for ~400 eur. That same drive is 610eur right now.

I bought a 1TB Samsung 990 Pro SSD one month ago, it has since tripled in price.

Check out serverpartdeals for cheap refurb drives. I'm seeing 28TB on their site for 355 eur.

Yeah, I'm not gonna buy something from outside of my country (Norway), our consumer protection laws are worth so much more to me.

And most of the savings get eaten up by import fees and VAT, it'd still be cheaper but I would lose out on 10 years of guarantee that trumps any warranty.

Makes sense. Its a good vendor, but not that good.

I'm betting GPUs will also be increasing in price (over the increase caused by AI data centers) due to RAM as well.
