      I’ve still got a pile of DDR2 around, mostly 512MB-1GB sticks in the slower speeds. The better stuff got used, some of it is still in use.

      The real money is the 2x16GB 2400MHz DDR4 sticks I have sitting on a shelf. Not long ago I figured it wasn’t worth trying to sell some old, slower DDR4 memory but now it’s apparently worth something. On the other hand, I might need it myself if one of the old DDR2/DDR3 era systems kicks the can.

      At our local makerspace, we have a drawer thats labeled “memories” with just random RAM chips for the last 20 years. Its probably worth some $$ now.
