Corsair dominator at £149. The hell?

[JonJ678]

A rant more than anything useful. I bought a set at £100, saw it move to £120 a couple of weeks ago. Its now at £150 and out of stock. Ram prices vary, but by 50% over a couple of months?

Annoyed. That is all.

edit: Not specifically anti ocuk, as everyone seems to have done this. So I'm annoyed with many places

Wow that has really shot back up, I must have got my set when it was retailing at around £100 as I believe i paid around £65 for it from the MM

omg had this in my shopping list ready to buy when i start to build my pc in a few weeks,think i look around again

It was the same with the ocz reaper tri channel i bought, when i first specced up my components it was listed at £99.99, by the time it came back in stock it had rose to £149.99, went ahead and got it anyway though.

 

[JonJ678]

I'm probably going to do the same, but not happy about it. Should have bought two sets at once

ddr2 has been going up in price recently

RAM prices fluctuate wildly on a seemingly weekly basis, always has done. It will soon be back down to a reasonable price I'm sure.

It will rocket in price upto Christmas, it normally goes up in price anyway.

Windows 7 Retail launch around October 22nd their will be a few people upgrading to P55 or whatever around that time & then demand for DDR3 will peak thus the prices will jump.

Just a wild guess but you see.

in other ram related news, ocz reaper 1333 out of stock again and i'll have to look around for new ram...

 

[Locky]

A little birdy tells me that ram prices are set to sour very soon, so be warned.

 

[JonJ678]

Ah, I shall make up my mind quickly then. Cheers for the warning

DDR2 IC pricing is going up so DDR2 memory will cost more. Fabs are gearing back on DDR2 and SLOWLY moving to DDR3. Supply n demand.
