About memory resale values.
Why are used DDR memory prices rising in 2026?
The illustrative, index-modeled reference value for memory is $391 per module (up 199.6% year over year). Memory is among the fastest-rising categories: capacity shifted toward high-bandwidth memory for AI, restricting conventional DDR supply.
How is this resale value calculated?
This is an illustrative, index-modeled reference value modeled from secondary-market signals. It is not based on observed CTS sales, CTS transactions, broker quotes, or auction sold data.
Is the memory value a live market-data feed?
No. This is an illustrative, index-modeled reference value, not a live feed of new market data.
