On: Memory crisis is getting so bad that even retro RAM prices are going to the Moon

[vitally3643]

RAM prices are so bad that my business couldn't launch our product this year. RAM increases completely obliterated our profit margin, and would have required raising prices 30%. For a small business, that just doesn't work.

A lot of small businesses are getting absolutely wrecked by this.

Just raise the prices, it works sooner or later. We are not getting the old prices back.

> Just raise prices

Let me guess, you've never run a small business before who's existance is based around being small, nimble and inexpensive in order to compete with large corporations?

Yours is the same answer that were given to hundreds of thousands of small businesses during COVID who ended up going out of business. Now you get to shop/eat at at soulless $BIGCORP which has the same slop as every other soulless $BIGCORP.

No, but I have purchased from many small businesses who are all raising prices and I basically have no choice but to buy from them anyway.
