      I thought used prices would spike, but currently used RAM on Craigslist is reasonable. Maybe people don’t follow the news, as much as people on here.

          Have you tried complaining to the manufacturer? I hear some allow trade-ins for defectives ones. You may not get a brand-new one but as long as it’s not defective it should easily get you a decent drive on the swap market.
