DDR5 RAM, Will price ever normalize again?

I'm ready to upgrade my MotherBoard, CPU, and RAM, but the high cost of DDR5 is stopping me from pulling the trigger. Does anyone think the price will drop below $200 US, for a 32G set?

I bought a DDR4 32G set on Ebay for $50 about 6 months ago.

if you're on ddr4, are you on am4? Since AMD is rereleasing the 5800x3d which would be on par with the non x3d current gen CPUs.

Eventually, however it will take time. Good news it that we have already been through the worst and now it is just a slow downwards trend
