Time to start scouring used-PC sales to reclaim the RAM and sell it for a profit?

but why wouldn't that used-PC simply increase in price due to the components becoming more expensive?

If you can find used PCs being liquidated with DDR4 RAM that is fast enough for a modern build, then you might.

Old RAM that comes out of the PCs being sold at fire sale prices isn’t really in demand though. Even slower DDR4 grades aren’t seeing much demand.
