Looking back on my prior receipts, a stick of 8GB DDR3-1600MHz a year ago was about $12. Currently, lowest price I see is sitting at $21 on pricewatch.com with Newegg being the seller offering the deal (my receipt is from Portatech.)

This would make a 4Gbit DDR3 chip cost less than a dollar, and I don't think that DRAMeXchange prices has ever been that low

You are responding to somebody who claims to have a receipt with a "I think". The best way to respond to an anecdote is data, not opinion.

I'm the kind of person that keeps receipts for tax purposes, as all parts I buy are for business purposes (repairs, fresh builds, etc.)

Umm, would you care to point out where in my unedited post I said "I think"?

I did mention the DRAMeXchange source though.
