I'm looking for a 32GB DDR5 kit made up of two 16GB sticks, ideally at a reasonable price around €100–€150. Most listings I'm seeing are dramatically more expensive—somewhere between €400 and €600—so I'm wondering whether there are reliable retailers, used-market options, or specific kits that are still close to the normal price range. Is it worth waiting for prices to drop, or are current prices simply unavoidable?

You probably won’t find a genuinely cheap new kit at the moment. Check several local retailers and price-history tools instead of relying on a single marketplace listing, since some sellers have raised prices far beyond the normal range.
Used kits may be more affordable. One person reported finding a used 32GB kit for about $250, but that’s still above the usual target price, so verify the exact speed, timings, condition, and whether the seller offers any return protection before buying.
Memory prices are unusually high right now, so finding a new 2x16GB DDR5 kit anywhere near €100–€150 may be difficult. If you don’t urgently need the upgrade, waiting could be the best option rather than paying several times the usual price.
