That is crazily out of whack. Back in 2011 I bought 8Gb (2x4Gb, 1333Mhz) for in my 2009 15” MBP and it cost me €25 secondhand. Worked like a champ too, even transferred it to the computer of my little brother when I upgraded to a new MacBook.
- stordoff 9y agoIt's not that long ago I used to think of RAM as _almost_ disposable - you could max out your capacity pretty cheaply, and it wasn't really worth reselling a lot of the time. Over the past few years it seems to just been getting increasingly expensive though.
