Don't they always sale it at market prices? Do they normally subsidize it or sell it at state set price?

    Yes but normally the “price” isn’t so “volatile” that they can’t put it on the fucking sticker

    I don't think the ram manufacturers (like corsair, kingston etc) buy it at spot price, they have contracts and all for fixed price. since that's the case, shouldn't prices be sticky at least for the day?

    It's less about the market and more about increasing prices as stock goes down during the day. With other products people would be pissed, but they have their excuse created for them by the bubble and being a slightly niche product.

    The usual word for this is just price gouging. It's a shortage.
