#74143 — another downside of high RAM prices

I noticed lately more people on FBMP selling PCs without RAM. One 
scoundrel had a few business workstations. They originally came with 32 
GB of DDR4. So obviously sold off the RAM for buy some nice wine. But 
why the fuck would I buy these when it will cost me $329 for the 
cheapest RAM to make it useful again?

It'd be a good deal if you already had the RAM, eg. if your PC's
motherboard just died.

I've got mountains of RAM sticks, but only for hardware from 15-30
years ago.
