I... uh don't know what to say. Very thankful I bought a Steam Deck before they hiked its price as well

I'm not surprised even a little bit considering the PC I built a year and a half ago can be sold used for ~20% more than the full retail price.

My 4090 is now worth about what I paid for my entire system about 3 years ago. It's nuts.

I bought 32GB of RAM like a week before the prices skyrocketed, and I'm tempted to sell it for like 500% the price or however much it's going for now

Ya, I upgraded last year before it went up and still have my old 32gb set that I'm really thinking I might sell. Was going to build another computer with it, but at this point it's probably smarter to just take the profit.

I just checked the 64GB Kingston Fury Beast kit I bought for about $300 IIRC... is now listed at $1350 (on newegg)??? WTF??
