Is Now the Right Time to Buy Used Computer Parts on Facebook Marketplace?
Asked by

With the recent surge in RAM prices and whispers of potential price hikes for CPUs and GPUs, I'm wondering if it's smart to stock up on used parts from Facebook Marketplace. I'm thinking about building a powerful homelab and a solid home LAN setup, and I want to know if it makes sense to start purchasing now before the prices climb even higher.

If you're looking to build something in the next year, definitely go for it! Prices for used parts probably won't get any lower for a while.

Are you planning to be a scalper or just hoarding parts? Just asking!
CuriousMind28: Did you even read the original post? They're looking to build a setup, not just hoard.
ThoughtfulTommy: Hoarding definitely worsened the supply issues during COVID. Let’s not repeat that.
