Comment on Are people buying refurb pcs just to strip out the DDR 4 ram with the current price hikes on new ram?

The used market is always like that with the old top of the line stuff. If you look at old high end cpus the highest spec is always super high in price even though it’s not as good as something newer you could get for a lower price. People just see higher number = better so they go for more cores and higher clock speeds. I’ll bet you couldn’t notice the difference between two sticks of 16gb vs 4 sticks of lower end 8gb ddr4. I’m seeing that the rgb sticks are quite a bit higher in price. I’ve seen that if I build a pc with old components and throw it in a glass case with cheap rgb lights that I get a lot of responses immediately. I have to wait a lot longer to sell a plain looking business pc even when it’s higher specs and newer.
