Are those graphs specifically for the US? When I change the country in the top right, it doesn't seem like the graphs are changing, and considering they're in USD, I'm assuming it's US-only?

Is the same doubling happening world-wide or is this US-specific, I guess is my question?

Edit: one data point, I last bought 128GB of RAM in March 2024 for ~€536, similar ones right now costs ~€500, but maybe the time range is too long.

They are US-specific, yes. Thanks for asking that - I'll look into updating those graphs to show for the appropriate region/country depending on what country you've selected (on the top right of the page).

It just means RAMs aren't sold in volume in your area, if you're not feeling it...

I'm not finding any way of figuring out if that's true or not, I live near the second-largest city in Spain, kind of feel like people probably buy as much RAM here as elsewhere in the country/continent, but maybe that's incorrect. I've tried searching for graphs/statistics for the last 1-2 years about it in Spain but not having much success.

I can add Spain price trends to PCPartPicker. Quick question though - do you want the price trends to cover just Spanish retailers, or should it trend the prices across all of the EU?

[embedding-shape]

That would be incredible! Personally I only buy the stuff I can find inside the country, inside the country. But then some stuff I have to order from Germany/France/Italy when it's only available outside our borders.

So I don't know the right approach here, I can see value for both price trends for multiple reasons, unfortunately :) Wish I could give a simpler answer!

[pcarmichael]

Ok that should be in - if you view the price trend pages now there are different currency grouping options (with EUR being one of them). Hope this helps!

Not parent, but logically the EU is a single market, so EU-wide prices are better, IMO.

In the UK I was looking at DDR4-3200 SODIMM last week for some mini-pcs... and decided to pass after looking at the price graphs. It's spiked in the last few weeks.

What graph you used for UK-specific prices as it seems the earlier graphs referenced here are US-only?

camelcamelcamel is the best for amazon items - choose a stick, look at the graph.

There is a bit of annoyance as items come in and out of stock (ie. out of stock often means inaccurate price); so its often better to find a product on amazon and look here.

regular 2x16GB pair https://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/product/B07RW6Z692?context=se...

I have a script watching on some items on overclockers and crucial, including RAM. So for those by graph I really meant "eyeballed an email search".

Maybe it’s time to sell my unused DDR4s! I was thinking it’d be not worth anything at this point

536 € seems expensive for March 2024, but either way, the price dropped a lot over the last one and a half years, only to surge in the last two months.

Yeah, that was my hunch, that something like that was going on. Thanks for clarifying.
