Part of it the thrill of the hunt. I've caught some great deals over the years stalking marketplace.

Got .iso storage after chia crashed
Got a 3090 after Bitcoin asics took over
Got a 5900x when the X3D parts came out

But I've never seen decent RAM for sale, only single sticks or slow kits.

    I fully agree it's worth waiting for the thrill of the deal.

    The Chia crash was great. A local dude I found on Facebook marketplace bought a whole array worth of drives and never got around to even opening the packages for them.

    I scored a great local deal on a PC last week, but unfortunately the only weak point of it is the 16GB of DDR5. So I guess for a while I'll just be chilling with equal amounts of GPU and system memory. Luckily I'm not a gamer and rarely limited by the system memory.
