Newegg is the obvious place, but is there a better vendor from which to buy RAM?

I'm interested in good prices on reputable RAM brands, not cheap generic stuff.

ZipZoomFly used to be the best place to get RAM from, everything was a good 5% cheaper. But then for some reasons the prices just started going up comparatively to Newegg. I haven't checked that site in years, but I know it used to be THE place to get RAM from.

Watch out for "fresh from RMA Crucial Ballistix".
Another issue with the FS/Trade forum is that people are asking near full retail prices for their used memory.
I guess if people are willing to buy, then more power to them...

Normally Newegg. But this time around I didnt care for their prices. I used the Newegg site to find what I wanted, and then dug it up on Amazon. They have much better prices especially with a Prime account. Saved 50 on the item and 10 bucks on shipping.
Used to buy from Google Gear and once directly from Mushkin.
