RAM prices by country
By the country an item ships from, each offer against the same kind shipped from the US. Figures from 23 Oct 2026, 22:00 UTC.
Against the US, like for like
Each country's offers against the same kinds from the US, 22:00 UTC.
Bars each offer is compared with US offers of the same kind (generation, kind of module, condition, size and pack), and the middle half of those differences is averaged: how much more or less a country's offers cost than the same kinds from the US.
Faint bar its 95% range takes in zero: no clear difference from the US. A solid bar and an arrow mean the whole range is on one side.
Delivered the item and its shipping to a US buyer, as eBay US asks; import duties and taxes, which a buyer may owe on top, are not in it.
Reading a bar point at a row, or tap it, for its 95% range, what its offers are and how they ship.
Faint: no clear difference from the US.
Asking prices on eBay US, delivered to a US buyer, before import duties and taxes.
Compare countries
Like for like, on the kinds they all sell, 22:00 UTC.
Pick two countries above to compare them like for like.
Compared on the kinds all of them sell (generation, kind of module, condition, size and pack), a kind counting where each country has five offers of it or more; in each kind, the middle half of prices is averaged.
One basket the kinds are weighted with each country's own mix counted equally, so no country's mix is favored, and A against B is B against A turned around.
Offers identical listings counted at most five times, so a flood of copies is not the country.
95% range the comparison is worked out again ten times, each time leaving out a tenth of the offers, grouped by photo. With three countries, a difference must also hold when the three pairs are tested together.
Faint bar no clear difference from the base country; a solid bar and an arrow mean a clear one.
Too few kinds each country needs 30 offers in the kinds all of them sell, or there is no comparison.
Not the chart above the chart above prices each country on its own mix of kinds; here every country is priced on one basket of the kinds all of them sell, so a figure against the US, or the same two countries with another third, can read differently.
Every country: against the US, 22:00 UTC
vs US what an offer from there costs against the same kind from the US, as the bars show it; an arrow only where its 95% range is all on one side.
Range the 95% range. The figure is worked out again ten times, each time leaving out a tenth of the offers, grouped by their photo so near-identical listings leave together; how far those ten figures spread says how sure it is.
Offers identical listings - the same kind, price and shipping - count once and weigh five at most, so a flood of copies is one offer. Counts from outside the US, China, Germany and Hong Kong are lower bounds.
As listed the median price per GB of its own listings, whatever their mix, so compare countries by vs US, not by this.
Pooled a country gets a row of its own with 100 offers or more and a 95% range narrow enough that its price against the US is known to within about a fifth, up or down; every other one is in Other countries. All listings is every offer, the US's included.

How to read this
- Every offer is compared with US offers of the same kind (generation, kind of module, condition, size and pack), and a country's figure is the average of the middle half of those differences. Comparing kind with kind keeps the mix out of it: a country that lists mostly cheap kinds does not look cheap for that alone.
- Prices are asking prices on eBay US, delivered to a US buyer: the item and its shipping, before any import duties and taxes.
- Identical listings - from one country, of one kind, at one price and shipping - count once, as one offer, and weigh five at most, so a flood of copies counts as one offer and not as the country.
- Counts from outside the US, China, Germany and Hong Kong are lower bounds: our largest searches are split by those four, and listings from elsewhere can be missed.
- A country gets a row of its own with 100 offers or more and a 95% range narrow enough that its price against the US is known to within about a fifth, up or down. Every other country is pooled as Other countries, and All listings is every offer, US offers included.
- Left out: lots, and memory of unknown generation; memory of unknown form has no kind row. A country with under 30 offers has no figure of its own, only its share of Other countries.
- The figures are worked out once an hour from the listings on the site at the time. Every time on the page is UTC.
