The single-stick strategy wins. Two used 8GB sticks at $25 each beats every kit listing on eBay and costs half what Amazon charges new.
Every 16GB DDR4-3200 kit listing on eBay runs $55–100. Amazon new is $119–130. Neither is the move.
632 total listings pulled. Single sticks first — they're the play.
