- Memory prices continue to soar, pushing the cost of an average 32GB DDR5 kit to $300-400.
- A Redditor recently lucked out with this purchase, receiving 10 kits for the price of one.
- He intends to sell the rest of the kits at a price below MSRP to help the struggling community of PC builders.
As the tech industry continues to navigate the new era of increasing memory prices, various absurd stories have gained traction recently.
One Redditor shared incredible finds after dumpster diving for memory, and another received pebbles after ordering an RTX 5070 Ti. As the bizarre stories continue to come out one after another, another user has now received 10 DDR5 RAM kits for the price of one.
Why it matters: Most people rarely, if ever, experience this type of luck, so it’s always interesting when similar posts turn up on social media platforms or forums.
Over on r/PCMasterRace, Redditor u/AccomplishedFan8690 recently shared that he ordered a single 32GB kit of Corsair Vengeance DDR5 memory for around $300, but lo and behold, an entire box shipped with 10 kits instead.
For anybody curious, this box is worth at least $3,000 at the time of writing, but with the current trend of prices and shortages, it could end up being valued anywhere between $5,000-10,000 by the end of the year.
According to the post, this mistake appears to stem from Amazon confusing a single item, in this case the RAM, with a full box of said item. Judging by the number of similar posts showing up on Reddit and other platforms lately, this type of mishap happens more often than one would think.
The good news here is that the Redditor claims to be selling this RAM at under MSRP to those in need of an upgrade or a memory change. Of course, this hasn’t stopped many from recommending he do the opposite.
Some have even accused the user of stealing, but the Redditor remains firm that this mistake is Amazon’s and not his.
This story of luck aside, RAM prices continue to soar for the time being. It is said that this could be the case until 2030, putting immense pressure on not only the PC industry but practically every industry that utilizes modern technology one way or another.
