When I built my pc 3 years back, I got the hyperx 4gb for 2300. Now I was looking to add more ram and holy smokes, the price are over the top!! So now should one buy used memory or get it from abroad?

Prices are pretty much the same everywhere, with the exception of too high taxes/customs duty in India.

DDR4 RAMs sometimes cost less in Amazon lightning deals.

Yeah...that's the truth.
Heard that due to scarcity of memory chips and heavy demand of modules from cell phone companies the prices are high.

Samsung and other companies are focusing more on smartphone chips and hence the shortage.
