Memory prices have surged due to market volatility, making any significant discount on high-speed RAM a notable find for builders. A Reddit user recently spotted a Kingston Fury 32 GB DDR5 kit at a Dutch thrift store for just 12.50 EUR. This price represents a massive saving compared to the standard retail cost of the same hardware.

Massive discount highlights extreme variance in local second-hand markets versus new retail pricing

The kit features a 32 GB capacity configured as two 16 GB modules. It operates at a speed of 6000 MT/s, which is a common standard for modern DDR5 systems. Kingston brands this specific line as part of their Fury series for performance computing.

The thrift store price in the Netherlands was listed at 12.50 EUR, which converts to approximately 14.39 USD. In contrast, the same kit sells for around 600 USD on Amazon in the United States. This discrepancy highlights the extreme variance in local second-hand markets versus new retail pricing.

The Redditor described the item as open-boxed, meaning it was not in original sealed packaging. While the source does not provide warranty details or test results, the buyer considered the find a solid deal for budget PC building. DDR5 modules are currently expensive due to the so-called RAMpocalypse, making such bargains rare.
