I agree, but I think if the Price is right, especially right now (crazy Times), People will just grab 2x32GB too

.ha I ended up building the same thing without realizing it - DIMMsum — used server RAM price tracker
Very nicely done.
Love the name ... "Service 24/7 -- and always a table available."
So I just used it to track prices for ram I am posting to sell and if I am going to use that as a reliable reference I should set prices a lot higher than I originally intended ...
Samsung M393A2K40CB2-CTD (16GB DDR4-2666, PC4-21300, 1Rx4 ECC RDIMM) should be listed at about 80€, with 60€ as low and 120€ as high, but you do not have any of those examples. Only new at above 130€.
Kingston KSM24RS4/16MEI (16GB DDR4-2400, PC4-19200, 1Rx4 ECC RDIMM) should be listed at 90-100€ since they are rarer. You only have new lists at 140€ and above.
I do understand your site only does data aggregation so if the data is not there it is not you fault in any way, but I am more concerned about the viability to use ramlist.com as a reliable price reference. It seems all ram prices are going up?

SecCon, not sure if you were looking at dimmsum.com or ramlist.com but here's something to ground against:
First, you're looking at asking prices. Sellers ask whatever they want; what actually sells is a different number. On US eBay your Samsung spec (16GB 2666 RDIMM) has a median asking price around $98/stick right now, but the median sold price in June was $58 and July is tracking ~$51. The 2400 sticks sell around $50-55. That gap is exactly why the spec pages chart both lines:
dimmsum.com/ddr4/16gb-2666-rdimm
dimmsum.com/ddr4/16gb-2400-rdimm
Second — at least for used DDR4 on the US side, prices are falling, not rising. The benchmark 32GB 2666 stick sold for ~$149 in April, ~$120 in May/June, ~$105 so far in July.
Caveats: it's all US eBay in USD, and EU used enterprise gear usually carries a premium plus VAT, so your 80€ might be right for your market. But if you price off asking prices you'll sit unsold next to everyone else — the sold line is the one to price against.
Also if you searched by part number: those mostly match new-in-box sellers, they're the only ones who write full part numbers in titles. Browse by spec instead.
I was looking at ramlist... not aware of dimmsum but nice to know.
And yes I searched using model numbers.
Pricing is, as you imply, tricky, one wants to get a sale, and as high as possible. Then again, the sticks are not gold plated, as some seem to think.
EU prices are generally higher due to VAT and that is also what makes purchases from anywhere but EU a search for unreasonably low price tags, while buyers outside of EU sees our prices and frown upon them. Customs, VAT, are not fun to deal with and takes a sensible bite out of the meager profit.
My intention was to find where the average listings are on what I want to sell and place me just under. I am also a great guy and take an effort in communicating well and careful packaging but I do not sell a lot. I don't stock or try to make deals, I just get what I need for my hardware and sell what I deem is in decent shape to be sold.
When I was young the family business approach to selling "stuff" was to sell a LOT and CHEAP, and make money from volumes.
