A player buys an SSD, but the seller significantly raises the price. This shows that the high price increases have now also reached other products.
Hardware is becoming increasingly expensive. The rising prices have now affected not only RAM but also other components like SSDs. This is now also illustrated by the example of a user who wanted to order “only” two M.S SSDs for his system.
Recently, the manager of a large company warned, that the days of cheap SSDs are ultimately over.
More and more sellers cancel orders to adjust prices afterwards
What did the user do? The user reports on Reddit that he ordered two cheap NVMe SSDs for $125. But the seller canceled his purchase and re-listed the same model for three times the price. According to a screenshot, the NVMe SSD now costs $406.99. And he is not the only person affected by such cancellations.
- A player ordered a gaming PC, but Corsair reportedly canceled his order to subsequently raise the price significantly
- In another case, a user ordered RAM. The seller delayed the shipping to adjust the price as well.
These actions by various sellers are causing little enthusiasm in the community. Because usually it is always the players who suffer, who ultimately are affected by rising prices. Some refer back to the price increases by Corsair: The well-known channel GamersNexus is currently observing the situation.
Many users are now looking for an alternative to the sharply increased prices in the tech sector. And some even go so far as to buy components that are 18 years old: DDR3 RAM and matching processors are significantly cheaper. Dealers report that sales figures for old hardware have reportedly risen rapidly: Users are currently buying 18-year-old hardware out of despair because modern RAM is too expensive right now
