Comment on RAM is so expensive that stores are selling it at market prices

Another user in the BlueSky thread showed a photo that appears to be a Best Buy case of RAM, showing a 32GB set of two DDR5 DIMMs going for over $400 USD, a 64GB kit for over $900.
If I hit Google Shopping, which indexes a ton of retailer sites, I can find 2x16GB DDR5 DIMMs for far less than that at various retailers that haven’t jacked up prices yet.

My first hit for “2x16gb 32gb ddr5” sorted by price is this:
pcpartshawaii.com/…/kingston-fury-ddr5-32gb-2x16g…
Kingston Fury DDR5 32GB (2x16GB) 5600MHz CL40 RAM KF556C40BBK2-32
$100.00
These guys have some:

Price: $103.06

Who goes to best buy for ram? Like the physical store… Everything small is marked up anyways.

And what’s not marked up is sold out. Fuck that place.
