Are those graphs specifically for the US? When I change the country in the top right, it doesn't seem like the graphs are changing, and considering they're in USD, I'm assuming it's US-only?
Is the same doubling happening world-wide or is this US-specific, I guess is my question?
Edit: one data point, I last bought 128GB of RAM in March 2024 for ~€536, similar ones right now costs ~€500, but maybe the time range is too long.
- threeducks 1y ago536 € seems expensive for March 2024, but either way, the price dropped a lot over the last one and a half years, only to surge in the last two months.
- embedding-shape 1y ago> the price dropped a lot over the last one and a half years, only to surge in the last two months. Yeah, that was my hunch, that something like that was going on. Thanks for clarifying.
- Normal_gaussian 1y agoIn the UK I was looking at DDR4-3200 SODIMM last week for some mini-pcs... and decided to pass after looking at the price graphs. It's spiked in the last few weeks.
- embedding-shape 1y agoWhat graph you used for UK-specific prices as it seems the earlier graphs referenced here are US-only?
- Normal_gaussian 1y agocamelcamelcamel is the best for amazon items - choose a stick, look at the graph. There is a bit of annoyance as items come in and out of stock (ie. out of stock often means inaccurate price); so its often better to find a product on amazon and look here. 8GB SODIMM stick https://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/product/B0C7Z4HJ8L?context=search https://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/product/B0C7Z4HJ8L?context=se... regular 2x16GB pair https://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/product/B07RW6Z692?context=search&cpf=amazon-new-used https://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/product/B07RW6Z692?context=se... I have a script watching on some items on overclockers and crucial, including RAM. So for those by graph I really meant "eyeballed an email search".
- coffeebeqn 1y agoMaybe it’s time to sell my unused DDR4s! I was thinking it’d be not worth anything at this point
- pcarmichael 1y agoThey are US-specific, yes. Thanks for asking that - I'll look into updating those graphs to show for the appropriate region/country depending on what country you've selected (on the top right of the page).
- numpad0 1y agoIt just means RAMs aren't sold in volume in your area, if you're not feeling it... [1]: https://kakaku.com/item/K0001448114/pricehistory/ https://kakaku.com/item/K0001448114/pricehistory/ (archive: https://archive.is/CHLs2 https://archive.is/CHLs2)
- embedding-shape 1y agoI'm not finding any way of figuring out if that's true or not, I live near the second-largest city in Spain, kind of feel like people probably buy as much RAM here as elsewhere in the country/continent, but maybe that's incorrect. I've tried searching for graphs/statistics for the last 1-2 years about it in Spain but not having much success.
- pcarmichael 1y agoI can add Spain price trends to PCPartPicker. Quick question though - do you want the price trends to cover just Spanish retailers, or should it trend the prices across all of the EU?
- embedding-shape 1y agoThat would be incredible! Personally I only buy the stuff I can find inside the country, inside the country. But then some stuff I have to order from Germany/France/Italy when it's only available outside our borders. So I don't know the right approach here, I can see value for both price trends for multiple reasons, unfortunately :) Wish I could give a simpler answer!
- pcarmichael 1y agoOk that should be in - if you view the price trend pages now there are different currency grouping options (with EUR being one of them). Hope this helps!
- overfeed 1y agoNot parent, but logically the EU is a single market, so EU-wide prices are better, IMO.
