DDR4 RAM Prices Are Skyrocketing TWICE as Fast as DDR5, And It’s Only Getting WorseDDR4 spot prices are exploding faster than DDR5 in recent weeks.32GB kits that cost $60-80 last summer now regularly hit $200-300+ and keep climbing hard.thoughts?
>>108000742Been selling DDR4 RAM and GPU that come out of e-waste donations from offices and average folk. (workstations and gaming PCs)I don't think the businesses have caught on yet, but then again they waste so much shit to begin with.
>>108000768How does one get e-waste donation from offices and average folk?
What are they training?
>>108000822the goycattle obliterator 5000
>>108000778>>108000768I'd like to know too. I assume you call them asking if they have any "old shit" they want to donate to low-income children; say you're part of some organization or speaking on behalf of a local school. Not sure if they'd bother to look into it. Sort out what's worth using/selling, and recycle or give away whatever's useless to you--might be of use to someone else. The part about donating to low-income children *technically* wouldn't be a lie; anything you recycle/bin has a high likelihood of ending up in Africa.
>>108001007just say you want tech stuff for mentally retarded young people (me)
>>108000768>selling DDR4 RAM and GPU that come out of e-waste donationsThis has been happening for the past 2 months already, it's getting very hard to find used Thinkpads, Dells and shit now because the RAM is worth much more than the laptop itself.
>>108000742I don't care, most of my systems use DDR2 and DDR3.
>>108000778>>108001007>>108001061Our Goodwill partnered up with Dell Reconnect, so unsurprisingly a lot of the stuff that comes in for recycling and parts are Optiplexes, Precisions, etc.
>>108000742didn't realise it but I bought the dip
I just want some more ram for my 10 year old server.Why sam jewman, why?
>>108001075So what you're saying is that I need to chat up the christmas cake at my local Goodwill? "Hey mamacita, can you set some 'puters aside for me?" I hear they toss out any CRTs that come their way too. Sad!
>>108001126If they're cool, yeah.The people working in that dept. don't see the value of those donated computers and their parts or they're completely unaware of technology in general. (which is a bit ironic)
>>108001148My local thrift shop looks most stuff up on Ebay, especially video game stuff. But computers for the most part are priced pretty low. I've gotten amazing deals on hardware over the years.
>>108000742the climb will NEVER stop.the climb will NEVER slow down.it's a CLIFF from now to eternity.
>>108001190>My local thrift shop looks most stuff up on Ebay, especially video game stuff. But computers for the most part are priced pretty low. I've gotten amazing deals on hardware over the years.I was thinking about this. normies actually don't give 2 shits about computers. if its old its trash to them. but in any normal city you'll probably get a decent deal on oldish tech. crypto fags don't want it. regular people and businesses aren't fucking running llms. its just tech giants and tards running up the prices in places with low supply already.
>>108001261My Goodwill and local thrift stores have jackshit. I don't know if it's because I go on the wrong days, or if it's because everything's picked out immediately. Every time I go, there's always fags walking around appraising everything.
>>108001335This is what happens when those resellers brag about their finds. Managers and employees get wind of that and start doing their own eBay grift.If people thrifting knew when to shut the fuck up, this wouldn't have happened. We can't expect people to do that obviously, but when I find something priced at a thrift store much lower than it usually goes for, I don't say a goddamn thing. Keeping the magic and fun alive at the thrift stores is good for everyone.
>>108000742Wrong. That's only a 3x increase and DDR5 has risen 5x
>XI, DESTROY AMERIGOY TECH AND MY WALLET IS YOURS
>>108001663nice math bro. 47 x 3 = 263
>>108001663i think it means how sharp the rise is, not how high it's gone so far
>>108000742Heh did you stupid goym really think you can escape by going to an older platform?
>>108001782I don't give a shit about this particular productThe average was increase was not 5x like on DDR5
