Looking back to an old Newegg order from my last PC build in 2012, I paid $84.99 for 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3. Today (9.5 years later) it looks like ~$150 at least for 32GB.

2x16GB kits of DDR4 3200 were was $110 last June. I have a receipt from purchasing four kits of it. The same Ripjaws V kit is on "sale" for $160 today.

I also built my last PC in 2012 but I paid over $500 for 32GB DDR3 overclocked at 2400MHz which is much more comparable to the DDR4 you'll find today (mostly 2400MHz+, with some laptops at 2133)
