# Marketplace pricing — PC RAM and brake parts (market data 24 Oct 2026)

## A. PC RAM — what Ontario buyers are actually asking
Pulled from live Kijiji Ontario desktop-memory listings (asking prices, Oct 2026). Asking price is not
sale price; expect to close 20–30% below ask.

| Type | Live asking prices seen | Set your ask | Realistic close |
|---|---|---|---|
| DDR4 8GB desktop UDIMM (2400/2666) | $15, $20, $20, $25, $40, $40 | **$25** | $18–22 |
| DDR4 8GB 3200 | $20, $35, $40, $60 | **$30** | $22–25 |
| DDR4 16GB kit (2×8), 2400–3000 | $40, $50, $60, $70, $80 | **$60** | $45–55 |
| DDR4 16GB single stick | $100, $110 | **$95** | $75–85 |
| DDR4 32GB kit (2×16), 2666–3200 | $180, $200, $250, $280, $325 | **$200** | $165–185 |
| DDR5 8GB | $35 | **$35** | $28–30 |
| DDR3 8GB desktop | $20, $25 | **$20** | $15 |
| DDR3 4GB desktop | $10, $10, $15, $20 | **$12** | $8–10 |
| DDR3 2GB desktop | $5 | **$5 each / $20 for a lot** | — |

Two hard rules from the listings:
- **8GB DDR4 is the fastest mover.** Single 16GB sticks sit — the same listing prices appear repeatedly
  across sellers. Bundling 2×8GB into a "16GB kit" sells better than two singles.
- **DDR3 is nearly worthless** ($5–10/stick). Sell it as one lot, not per stick, or it will not move.

Loose sticks tested working → say "pulled from working system" and price at the top of the band. Untested
or mixed brands → price at the bottom.

## B. Brake parts — the honest read
New-part benchmarks that set the ceiling for anything used:
- Economy brake pads: **$30–50 per axle**; premium ceramic pads **$80–120 per axle** (Canadian parts
  pricing, bestparts.ca).
- New pad + rotor kits for a 2020 Odyssey: **USD $120–200** (Detroit Axle 8-pc $194.92, A-Premium front
  kit $131.35, TRQ rear set $117.84, PowerStop front K7670 $243.99).
- Installed at a shop in Canada: **$300–600 per axle** including labour at $80–150/h.

Consequence: **used pads and rotors have almost no resale value** — a buyer can get new rotors for
$60–90 each. Used take-offs are worth **$20–40 for a set, at best**, and usually don't sell at all.
- **New in box / never installed**: ask **40–50% of the new retail price** — e.g. a $130 front pad+rotor
  kit → ask $60. This is the only category worth listing individually.
- **Used with life left**: list as a **single lot** with everything else, priced at $30–50 total, or
  scrap them. Do not post individual used rotors; they will sit and cost you messages.

## C. "Other stuff"
Anything that isn't RAM or brakes should be priced by the same rule: look up the current new price on
Amazon.ca, then ask 40–50% if new-in-box, 25–30% if used. If the item's new price is under $40, it isn't
worth a listing.

## Blocked on
- **What the brake parts actually are** — vehicle (2014 Rogue / 2020 Odyssey / other), which corner
  (front/rear), and whether they are new-in-box or used take-offs. That single answer decides whether
  they get individual listings or go into one $40 lot.
- **The RAM inventory** — how many sticks, DDR3 or DDR4, capacity and speed per stick. The table above
  turns into exact prices the moment that list exists.
