Is it just me or are RAM prices going up?

[BZeto]

I just bought some RAM not too long ago from googlegear.com and now the same RAM is about $20 more. And poeple have been saying corsair has been going up in price. Are prices going to keep rising?

yupp the corsair PC3200 512mb was $158 little more then a week ago. now that same ram is $183

No biggie RAM companies are slowing/stopping production. They are trying to inflate the price for the Christmas season. They do this every year pretty much.

Yeah, I bought 512mb Kingston PC2700 from googlegear and it was $127 now its $143.

I'm glad too... I got 2 x 256mb of Crucial PC2100 RAM for $27 each shipping included!!! This was almost exactly 1 year ago... I also got a Samsung 512mb pc2700 for $90 shipped I'm smiling cause I can sell the crucial for double its value today

Yep, whenever I'm looking at buying memory, the prices start to go up. Happened last year, no reason it can't happen again. :|

anyone know why ram prices are going up ?

1. Holidays
2. Unstable market pricing can't last this long without shutting down another fab or two. We lost two companies when 128MB was down to $1.20.
3. Profit margins are unbearable.
