Just buy some Micron (MU) stock and let the price appreciation pay for your next RAM kit.

Basically, haha, we decided to collude to force prices up and we have no intention of bringing them down because record profits. We already killed off and bought out all of our competition, so there'e nothing anyone can do about it. Oh right, aren't there supposed to be laws against this? Something about collusion, price fixing, artificial shortages, and all that?

Corporate greed, screwing over the consumers once more!.. They know PC's can't be built without RAM, and it's relatively cheap to buy up large amounts, and then artificially inflate the prices. Wish samsung, Hynix, etc. would bump up production and give them a solid slap in the face, since those price inflations reflects poorly on them too.

Why is it legal for

Why is it legal for big moneypits to manipulate the markets like that?? You can't do it to the stock market because it can potentially hurt some other rich douche, but using the same trick to screw over consumers.. Feel free, their just sheeps!

Society is so completely broken and the free market doesn't exist anymore.. If anyone tries to threaten the market of the big corporates, they, A: get sued into oblivion or.. B: Get bought up, so they can keep their massive earnings. Free market is just an illusion to make the public think things are fair..

Might be a bit of tin foil in this, but i bet more is going on in the political offices, than any basic Joe could ever imagine. Lobbyists rule the world, not the electees.
