Yeah your qualifier is important. If I have zyngots and suddenly the price goes through the roof, it is not collusion or illegal for me to raise my prices.

Tacit collusion requires at least signaling. There has to be some intent. Like in the US rental market where Realpage coordinates tacit collusion.

But if there is legitimately demand for far more memory than can be produced, it seems silly to claim collusion to raise prices.
