I was recently looking for basic value ddr3 8gb single stick and that set me back £40 used let alone £55 new. It's stupid pricing at the moment and fixed pricing on memory here in the uk has stuck since 2015 when memory prices sky rocketed. I got my current corsair vengeance pro 4x4gb 1600 kits for £110 and that was amazing price compared to now, whick is around £120 used.
