Is it just me.. or does this look really fishy to you guys?...

 

DDR4 2666MHz RAM in 4x4GB sticks for just short of £200... shipped by the actual company at that stock price....

 

 

Plus the fact that it says Red but the image is Bright Blue....

I just feel fishy about it. Considering i have some 2800MHz RAM in my wishlist for £250 and all the other GSkill RAM doesn't seem to be that cheap... It just feels off to me. I can't afford it at the moment anyways so fuck it ;D

I see what you mean sort of about the price. But ram is so unpredictable nowadays, I mean who knows anymore.

Doesnt seem fishy at all, its on CCL for £229 for example, amazon are often undercutting other retailers

Its sold DIRECTLY by Amazon, and there is also  a photo of the red ram underneath the blue one. I see no reason why not to trust Amazon directly

I see no reason not to trust anything on amazon sold by anyone. Amazon has always had my back when buying stuff from their website. Any issues I've had were always handled really quickly. It's amazon we're talking about though. If it were ebay, I'd be saying different things. Amazon is trustworthy though.

Agreed, and its not even a third party in this case, its between G Skills own shop, and amazons fulfilment

 

its like the most trustyworthy thing ever, just cos its £30-50 cheaper than other places doesnt make it not trust worthy

That is only 2133MHz though. The kit on Amazon is 2666MHz.

 

As you say though it will be fine as it is Amazon themselves who are selling it.

If amazon was selling it for £50. I'll still buy it. But then again, for £50, who wouldnt?. :P
