The first comment in the original post is a corsair agent reaching out to them to fix it. OP never even indicated that they tried to get support to honor the price. This is a nothing burger.

Does any one know how this works for places like MicroCenter? Like, they presumably have stock that they purchased at the old rates but then sell them at the current rates. Does more money go to the manufacturer or is MC just banking an extra few hundred dollars on each RAM sale for older stock? (For instance: MC bought from supplier in July for $125 and sold today for $550)

As someone whos only ever bought corsair for RAM and PSU’s for 25+ years, this is the sort of behaviour that makes me think, never again.
There are plenty of other manufactures that are highly recommended too.
I bought my recent new build, very luckily 3 months ago, but now corsair have lost my favour and can get fucked. If they behave like this, then their reputation is aligned with the scalpers.

I can sell my half a year old PC with a 5080 and 64 gb of DDR5 for more than I bought it for. It’s insanity.

It’s funny because if it was already in stock, they did not lose any money. They got the product at the old price, selling for the old price.
This is just permanently losing multiple customers in attempt to make a quick buck.

BestBuy did this a couple months ago to me. They said the $4000 laptop wasn’t available then when I checked the sku there were 18 available. They would not give me the same price no matter how much I called.

Cancelling orders when the seller thinks they can get more is becoming a thing now. I read an article a while back about this happening to a woman. She had a ‘prestige’ vacation cancelled pretty much last minute so the travel agent could tack on higher prices, and more fees. (I’m guessing their commission was a percentage of the total sale.)
My point is that it is not specific to the tech sector, but this specific example may still be telling.

Wheres that tech channel to call them out

$800 seems like a bargain compared to the bar PR Corsair is now getting. 2k+ upvotes from an enthusiast community

AI data center demands raising the prices for components I guess?

Beelink did the same shit to me last month. Jokes on them, they didn’t get any of my money. I do like my new framework desktop though.

Corsair pre-builts have been notoriously trash anyway, bullet dodged.

Blame AI companies they are taking all the supplies, and the manufacturers like it as they sell all there stock to data centers, hopefully when the bubble bursts there will be so much hardware on the second hand market

Can’t wait till openAI and friends can’t pay their bills that swung production capacity away from consumers and drove up the price of everything

The website is stupid, the *source* is a reddit post.
I wonder what they’ll do with the ram that’s in the warranty periods. Like if a ram stick dies now, as they’re super expensive, they would probably do whatever they can in their power to not replace your ram sticks. Sucks cuz I have ram sticks from them
fgsfds11234 on
there was shady companies having ups/fedex or whoever return ammunition back to the seller when it was half way to being delivered, just to jack up prices. good times

This just makes me happy i panic bought more ram in March of last year. I wasnt happy at the time but the writing looked pretty dire on the wall.
I just dont understand how anyone can look at unfettered capitalism like this and think “yeah, this is a good thing.” I’m a diehard socialist but even I recognize the benefits of a dual idealogy society where earning money isnt frowned on but supporting the social safety net is the top priority.

What is truly wrong about that?
