great response there.

To answer your question. It depends on the manufacturer, how many MHz, what size it is and if the DDR2 is on sale or not.. DDR2 is going to obsolete soon and DDR3 will take it's place anyway... The circle of life

Because they don't make it anymore and it's harder to find/stock.

It's a legacy technology.

Just like it's expensive to get parts for classic cars - there's not much demand for DDR memory - so it's costly to produce in smaller quantities - so they have to charge more money to keep producing it.

If you have an old stereo and try and find a Remote on ebay - chances are - the price for the remote will be pretty pricey. Same concept.
