1216.0. "256K DRAM prices?" by MQFSV2::DESROSIERS (Tout est possible ) Thu Mar 03 1988 19:57

    I bought an unpopulated Starboard2 last december, thinking that
    the price would go down, HA! someone is doing a number on the prices
    of 256K DRAMS.  The march computer shopper has them listed at $3.95
    for the 120nS but a call gets me a quote of $7 to $8. Can some of
    you noters give prices in different countries?
    
    as of NOW: CANADA $12.00 (CAN)
    		   US $ 8.00 (US)
                                 
    any others?

Re: .0

Since last September RAM prices have been going through the roof.
Contributing factors seem to be a very strong yen and various
governmental policies.

I saw the price of 1meg x 1 chips jump 30% during the month of October
1987.  Since September, prices seem to have gone up by 70%!

So, my experience matches yours.
