Now now... mediocre.
More like godawfully bad.
Just one more pcie lane bro
I have some older DDR4 16 GB sticks that I have been meaning to sell, I wonder if I should wait a few months.
Dont be that asshole
These are second hand DDR4 modules, why shouldn't I pick the best price I can sell them for?
It's not like I bought them to resell.
And when everyone acts this way, we get over valued shit. Look at the current GPU market ffs.
Dont be the greedy capitalist asshole because I want, be a decent person and sell them for a reasonable price
We have a very well developed second hand market, I would not be able to sell the DDR4 sticks at anything other than a reasonable price (as per current conditions in our market).
We don't really even have GPU scalping because very very few people would be willing to pay a scalper price (even if they could afford it) and all our PC components are 20% higher cost relative to the US (and 20 is the minimum).
I've built computers while living in North America and in my own country, I know what I am talking about.
My OP was almost glib, me waiting another two months would net me $5 - $10 dollars per 16GB DDR4 stick at most.
I do not support scalping.
