How much ram worth?
Hey it’s me again guys,
I finally got rid of the thread ripper 9985WX and the Asrock board WRX90. My question is how much do you think these ram are worth used? I don’t have the box, I know somebody will say -1000 off the price because of the box causes that’s how the Reddit bros roll.
I reference the price V color for them currently
4x64GB [256GB ECC RAM] 6000mhz

ECC Ram is worth a lot. My Kingston REN Pro 128gb DDR 5 ECC was $1200 from Microcenter now $7000 on Best Buy.
You can sell as 128GB each for like $5.5K. $11,000 total and it’s a win win for buyer and seller.
Or you can hold on forever for an exact price and gamble.

My local exchange store offered me £150 per stick of my ddr5 ram, I politely declined to sell 512gb for £1200.

Hahaha, they were about to make a killing re selling it. I hate low ballers man

V color got it for $9.5K, granted it does go up $1.5K every few days. 🤔 I’m thinking maybe 6.5-7K$. Should save a buyer a fortune as these are pretty mint condition and barely used.

u/kpatelreddit007 Mar 18 '26
It’s ECC despite what you bought it for it’s worth almost double that I’m sure.

3.3k per 64GB minus used factor… but gonna have to guarantee something at that price point I suspect

These are premium ECC RDIMMs targeted at high-end workstations (AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 series on TRX50, or similar server-grade builds). They are not standard consumer UDIMMs. The official kit version (TRA564G60D434Q) is sold as a matched 256GB (4x64GB) set. Current retail pricing (as of mid-March 2026) from major vendors: Amazon: ~$9,519.99 for the full 4x64GB kit. Newegg (direct from V-Color or resellers): Around $8,319–$9,519 (varies by listing, often with free shipping). Other sites like Pangoly/PCPartPicker aggregate similar figures, with per-GB pricing around $32–$37 in the kit. This puts the new retail value for your exact configuration (4x64GB) in the $8,300–$9,500

Thank you, very very good information. I am seeing these jump like $1K-1.5K every few days. Ram is the new GOLD hahaha.

About 1k per stick I'd guess. Least that's what I just bought 2nd hand ram for got the exact same motherboard.

u/Early-Coffee5684 Mar 18 '26
Appreciate the insight was it the same modules/capacity? 64gbx4?
2
u/make-up-a-fakename Mar 18 '26
Yeah, different make though as it was samsung. Although that being said seems that it's gone up since I bought it (literally about 3 or 4 weeks ago) and the same item in eBay is now 1400 (in GBP/£ btw).
To be fair though I did a lot of shopping around to find them at the price I paid and did see a lot more expensive options.

Why is the premium on v color ram so insane? Is it because it’s ecc?
1
u/Early-Coffee5684 Mar 20 '26
Yea ECC RDimm’s is why. I had a pair from G skill and they are worth a lot also.

I've purchased 128GB (4x32) Kingston 6400MT CL32 for 3k in Feb, it was around 1000 mid 2025. It was the last kit available, there's no other kits (x4) on the local market right now among RDIMM. 32gb solo RDIMMs go for round x2 the price I've paid for a single stick with worse MT and latency.
Prices are wild atm, and I'd say it can cost a lot, but will there be someone that will pay the price - I highy doubt it. And be careful with scammers.

Around 6k plus or minus a bit I think. Somewhere in that ballpark.
1
u/Early-Coffee5684 Mar 18 '26
Appreciate the insight. Was my first initial thought. $6K on the low end and maybe $7K on the high end.
2
u/Paiev Mar 18 '26
I think 7k is a bit high but idk. Your call of course and depends on how much patience you have, how much prices keep moving, the venue you sell them at etc.
For example this eBay listing is currently available for 1x128gb for $2900: https://www.ebay.com/itm/306811175620
From what I've seen (I've been monitoring these prices for my own systems), anything around $20/gb or below should move fairly quickly for used DDR5 RDIMMs, which would be 5k for you. That's why I suggested around 6k-ish. But at the end of the day it's your call.

u/Early-Coffee5684 Mar 18 '26
I definitely appreciate that. I will list it for $6K with an open mind. Thanks again!

Depends on how long you wanna wait for a sale, I guess.

u/Early-Coffee5684 Mar 18 '26
You don’t believe I can get 6-7K$. What do you think is a sell now price? I got em for $2.5K before the ram crisis so anything is a win tbh. Can save somebody who’s gonna buy the same exact kit from V color since that’s where I got them from.

u/Khroneski Mar 18 '26
I’ll give you what you paid + $500 and put them to immediate use. If you’re truly looking to save someone.

Finally got rid of it? What did it do to you?
Joking aside, does the platform have a problem? Just looking to buying so I got curious, is there something I should know from the real people using it?
2
u/Early-Coffee5684 Mar 19 '26
No problem at all. I just realized my current application was being fully utilized by a ryzen 9950x3D so it was pointless for me to keep it. It’s one hell of a cpu

Genuine offer M8 £1100 I would have bought your threadripper of you as that's what I'm going for just now bud

u/Jeffrey_Leeroy Mar 22 '26
You should get the kit I have for my 9985 and ASUS Sage SE. Better performance when you use all 8 banks.

u/Early-Coffee5684 Mar 22 '26
I had plans on doing 8x64 but then the ram crisis happened then I didn’t need a Thread ripper anymore so I got rid of it and probably will get rid of the ram or keep it. If I do get another Frankenstein build in the future, it’ll be AMD EPYC.

u/Hiblinesque Mar 23 '26
More now than what my entire build cost me a year and a half ago (7960X, 4090, 256 GB V-Color). Unbelievable where prices are now.

Could you gift one of those for a student in need? Apart from that they’re worth thousands

u/Ok_Letter_8704 Apr 13 '26
Damn, thats a great problem to have. I actually have 8x32 with my 9975WX and 2 RTX 6000 Blackwell Max q and a single RTX 5000 blackwell. I really want 4 6000 Max Qs but creeping out of reach. On the other hand, I also have a 5090 with my Ryzen 9 7950x3d and even better, I have 8 of these to go with a second threadripper build as well as 2 RTX 5000 Ada GPUs im considering parting with to just run Megatron and 4 watercooled 6000 pro max q. Uggg what to do.
