I've watched it go up about $10 a week for the past month!!! I was gonna pick up 4 more GBs of the GSkill I'm using that I payed $39.99 for back when and is now $79.99 for the same kit...

sad thing is, you'd think people selling old PC parts would be able to bet more for the older hardware, but they get stiffed as well as old stuff second hand is pretty much worthless.
Used hard drives I gotta say are the most worthless of all as they wear out fast and get damaged easily with handling.

I refuse to use DVD disks as they die by oxidization, get scratched and would take too many of them to write for the data I have.

That is only true for mechanical parts.
A memory module or CPU shouldnt have a problem if they have already been used.
In any case yes, DDR2 prices are going up which is good.And give it another year or two and you will see how high they can go.
I got over 300 bucks when I sold my hyperx DDR memory a year and a half ago when DDR2 was the standard.
I cant wait to see what Ill get in a couple of years for my current DDR2 memory
It's probably because of inflation. Everything is more expensive now.

It's a normal cycle. Which is why I was telling people months ago don't wait to buy RAM. DDR3 will see the same type of marketing hopefully in the near future. Get you some dirt cheap DDR3. But DDR2 won't go down. It's the typical cycle.

DDR3 has also gone up but not as much as DDR2. DDR2 has almost doubled since I bought some several months ago. I'm glad I bought some extra anticipating going to Windows 7 64 bit.
The reason for the price increase is that the fabs are cutting back on manufacturing the DDR2 and ramping up production on DDR3. The supply of DDR2 is dwindling forcing the price up. There is still demand, so they probably won't stop production completely, but DDR3 is the primary focus, so you will see DDR3 prices come down as the DDR2 prices go up.
