Benevolent Facebook trader exchanges 192GB of DDR5 worth $2,200 for one RTX 5070 Ti worth roughly $800 — says selling at such a high price would have been 'unethical' despite huge loss
A Facebook user traded 192GB of DDR5 RAM worth $2,200 for an RTX 5070 Ti valued at $800, citing ethical concerns about selling the RAM at a high price during the ongoing DDR5 shortage. The trade took place in a Facebook group, with the trader expressing satisfaction with his decision despite the significant loss in value. The DDR5 shortage has led to inflated prices, with some chipmakers exiting the consumer market. While the trade may not have been financially wise, it highlights the impact of the RAM price crisis and the trader's altruistic gesture in a challenging market.
