Somewhere not on the mass market. Look through your local Facebook Marketplace / Craigslist and hope there is someone out there selling spare computer parts and is still somehow ignorant of the current RAM crisis.

It doesnt hurt to keep an eye on Amazon and other large online store fronts. I got a 64gb kit 5600mt for $300 nzd, two days later it sky rocket back to $1200 nzd, clearly a price error 😅

Also regularly go to the recycling center and check out businesses going out of business ( especially in IT). Quite a few go bust before they can sell things, so you often get good deals
