The memory in the PC I put together early last year is now worth about three times the total cost of all the parts I used to build the thing. It is absolutely crazy.

You could get a 990pro 2 terabyte Samsung SSD for €150 just last year. Memory had become a commodity product.
Memory is still a commodity product, in that there isn't a huge amount of difference between vendors selling products that comply with a certain technical standard. Sometimes the prices of commodities (wheat, silver, crude oil, etc) go way up when supply and demand get out of balance.
I did buy one of those for 155eur on 9 November 2025.
Very lucky me!
