If that's the case, then why are the cheapest options I can find online multiple times that much?
- alex43578 8mo agoBrent crude is $71 a barrel, but you can't buy gas for $1.69. Why's that?
- dizhn 8mo agoAre you able to buy crude by the gallon and refine it yourself? That would bring the cost down a bit.
- bigfatkitten 8mo agoYou can buy oil on the market and take delivery, yes. Figuring out the logistics (tanker trucks, rail cars, storage tanks etc) will also be your problem though. Commodities markets aren’t like eBay, nobody is just going to FedEx you a barrel of oil.

- dogma1138 8mo agoBecause that’s just the price for the dies, still need packaging, integration and then retail distribution. Also raw BOM is like 1/5th of the retail price usually.
- namibj 8mo agoThat's a small b, that's gigabit. And that matches e.g. a "crucial pro udimm 64GB kit ddr4-3200 cl22-22-22 2Rx8" being at about 100$ a year ago. Currently they sell here in Germany for 409€ each, that's 6.25€ for half of each of the 16Gbit chips on that kit.
