    I decided to go see for myself how the prices are looking:

    https://www.microcenter.com/search/search_results.aspx?fq=category_flat%3ADesktop+Memory%2FRAM|491&Ntt=32+gb+RAM&sortby=pricelow

    Yeah, starting at $170 USD for 32 GB is really high.

    ETA: this camelcamelcamel price history tells an interesting story too:

      I bought 96g of sodimm about six months ago for about $225 after tax. That same pack spiked to about $850 before tax and has been hovering there for a few weeks

          Sodium. They apparently were buying small amounts of salt.

      I bought mine at the first price hike from 40$ to 60$ which was a pretty good decision.
