I hope avoiding Amazon fits this community rules?
I need a few bits to resurrect an old PC. My Amazon cart is $68 with shipping - we're going to cancel Prime, but my wife is still working on downloading all her photos. Best I can do elsewhere is near double this PLUS shipping from 3 different suppliers and 2 of the suppliers are on eBay, which is also a US company.
I moved to Canada a few years ago from Australia where I had pccasegear, scorptec and others. It seems Canadians have become reliant on the US market and Amazon and we now have no competitive local retailers for this type of thing?
DDR3? mate let me dig around my old stash and drawers, I should have some somewhere unless it got lost.
Edit:
found it

It's not 32GB so idk how useful it's gonna be to you, but I got a 4x4GB kit of Corsair DDR3 1600
part number CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9
Also got a Samsung 860 Evo 250GB
part number MZ-76E250
Thanks for trying! But, I really need 32GB - I want to upgrade a machine that currently has 4x4GB. I know it seems wrong and I've thought about doing a whole new motherboard, CPU and RAM but that very quickly gets to several hundreds of dollars and puts more stuff in the ewaste bin. I'm confident I can easily get a few more years from it with $50(ish) worth of RAM.
The SSD is for another project - repurposing the motherboard and CPU that used to do the job of the 16GB one above :-) I'll probably go for a new SSD because they do wear out eventually and someone else pointed me one at a Canadian supplier for $20.
