Uh no, I bought it for a new build but it didn’t work with my mobo and the return window closed before I could build the machine and find that out. I’ve had it for 1.5 years.
Comment on These RAM prices are out of hand

You’re part of the problem.
Thinking buying PC memory “as an investment” so you can upsell it or just the thought process of “my RAM is appreciating in value”, is just so stupid to me…
But we’ve all been indoctrinated into this capitalist slop to varying degrees.

He said it is a good roi, not that he bought it originally thinking of it as an investment

ROI: Return On Investment
“He said he got a good return on his investment, but it wasn’t an investment, he wasn’t thinking about investment returns, but he got a good return on his investment.”

Correct, you can purchase something without the intention of it being an investment and it still ends up being profitable. It’s a pretty simple concept, friend. I don’t think doubling down is the right approach for you here. Maybe you just read it wrong?

No but I also don’t really care. I just think the language is dumb, because it is.
ROI has a more specific meaning. This wasn’t ROI by any means. They didn’t invest in anything. They bought some ram and because of inflation and high demand on ram, it’s now worth more.
It’s a stupid way to communicate, and incorrect.
Using ROI when someone bought a stick of ram for their PC is ridiculous.
