What is something you have bought, online or in store, and had the price increase afterwards?
For example this is the chipset cooler I bought yesterday, with 4 left after my purchase:

And today (glad I paid upfront):

I bought a HDD for my dad and a week later a accident happened at the factory (in Taiwan I think) so the prices went up like 15 euros

Nothing because things rarely jump in price after release, unless they no longer have the item available.

well personally I bought 16GB of DDR3 RAM for $120, now the kit is $180...

 

 

stupid fire in a factory caused it

I think that reason is bullshit, that factory only made a small % and the prices went the high, I think some big dogs kept the prices up and took the fire as a reason.

I think the entire 970 lineup has people who bought them before prices increased, I'm not one of them however as I had to pay $565 for it, and ordering them in would have increased the price to near the $700 mark.

Yeah. I preordered mine and got them as they were released, and then immediately afterwards they were impossible to get hold of and were a lot more expensive.

My motherboard had a horribly low rating on newegg when it first launched, and I got it for 95 bucks (Asus P8Z77-V LK). The dimensions of the board are weird and the right side can be snapped off if too much weight is applied. otherwise its a solid mobo.

 

I looked a few months later because I was going to recommend it to a friend, and the price was ~$150 CAD...

As some people already said, RAM was the big one. I bought a kit of 4GBx2 for around 40 bucks in 2012. I decided to get a bigger cooler so my high profile RAM wouldn't work, and I look at the price and I'm like....whaaaaa???? 4GBx2 is 80 bucks????

The jump on RAM price was ridiculous. Like ~50-70%. And they say it was the memory chip factory burning down. They were like the largest manufacturer of chips.

I bought my 2TB HDD for $103 @ Best Buy and when in the store the next week, it was $80... As for price going up, I got the Golden Edition of the GTX 970 and they sold out in 2 weeks. I bought it for $400 on NewEgg and sold it on eBay a few weeks later for $480. 

 

As for the whole RAM fiasco, I was in Best Buy looking for ram a while ago and was looking at kits. 2x4GB was only $30 while a newer 8GB stick was $60. I asked them why and nobody knew. I found out soon after and wish I had gotten more cheap ram.

Damn, I had to pay $80 for 2x2GB DDR2 (generic) RAM, and it was second hand. I actually had to pay for an antistatic bag too.

999$? What the hell

Ikr? I bought the cooler when 5 were left, 2 more got sold on the original price, then obviously the idiots increased the price thinking people wouldn't notice.
