I have 4 sticks of ddr5 16gb, I’m seeing the exact model selling on Amazon with a delivery window of tomorrow for a total of $800. I paid $200 a year ago. It’s a good ROI but Im not seeing anything near the $3-5 grand shown.
Edit: I mean it’s sitting unused and I want to sell it.
Thinking buying PC memory “as an investment” so you can upsell it or just the thought process of “my RAM is appreciating in value”, is just so stupid to me…
But we’ve all been indoctrinated into this capitalist slop to varying degrees.
He said it is a good roi, not that he bought it originally thinking of it as an investment
ROI: Return On Investment
“He said he got a good return on his investment, but it wasn’t an investment, he wasn’t thinking about investment returns, but he got a good return on his investment.”
Correct, you can purchase something without the intention of it being an investment and it still ends up being profitable. It’s a pretty simple concept, friend. I don’t think doubling down is the right approach for you here. Maybe you just read it wrong?
No but I also don’t really care. I just think the language is dumb, because it is.
ROI has a more specific meaning. This wasn’t ROI by any means. They didn’t invest in anything. They bought some ram and because of inflation and high demand on ram, it’s now worth more.
It’s a stupid way to communicate, and incorrect.
Return on investment (ROI) is a financial metric used to evaluate the profitability of an investment by comparing its net income or profit to its costs. It helps businesses assess the efficiency of their investments and make informed decisions about where to allocate resources.
Using ROI when someone bought a stick of ram for their PC is ridiculous.
Uh no, I bought it for a new build but it didn’t work with my mobo and the return window closed before I could build the machine and find that out. I’ve had it for 1.5 years.

The entire reason I posted it. I messaged the seller about the price to see what they’ll say.
Yeah I have 64GB DDR5 6400, and I am kicking myself that I didn’t get more. Yeah 64GB is enough. But might be a while before I can get more.
You’re part of the problem.
