I'm in the process of building a PC and came across a used Corsair RAM kit (2 x 32GB, 5200MHz) for $300. Given current market prices, I'm wondering if this is a scam or if it's feasible that this deal is legitimate. What do you think?

It could be a real deal or a scam, honestly. Just be cautious—you might end up with a non-functional product or something with different specs. Also, keep in mind that Corsair sells decorative "light enhancement kits" that may look like real RAM but aren’t. You can check the contact pins; real RAM has a full row of pins while the fake kits have missing ones.
You can still find new RAM kits under $300, so it might be real. Just make sure to check who you're buying from. The seller's reputation matters!
Thank you for such a quick reply! I’m building an AM5 PC and looking for a used Ryzen 9 or a similar processor if I find a good deal.
64GB of RAM can be around 900 euros in the EU right now, so I doubt you can find something that size for the price you're mentioning.
Oh, ok, thanks! That’s a huge difference, so I’ll definitely check that out. At least I’ll get to see the RAM in person since it’s a marketplace deal.
