Its the US tarriffs that i am talking about.
This has directly affected the pricing of the products shipping to other countries as well.
As the companies are trying to earn same or better margins , due to the tarriffs bringing down their projected margins.
Yeah tariffs are also probably another cause.
Even the electronic components have increased anywhere between 10-50% in 6-8 months timeframe.
A nodemcu board that used to be around 120-130 odd is now 170-190. Couple of other breakout boards have also increased by a lot. I guess tariffs are affecting everyone and everything either directly or indirectly.
Not a great time to be homelab or hobby electronics enthusiast.

After a lot of indecision on my part and back & forth for which @aasimenator replied patiently, I placed an order and paid for in full for the following:
2 x 32GB DDR4 3200MHz - ₹ 10000/- each. This went up from ₹ 8500 to 10k in 5 days. Phew!
1 x 16GB DDR4 3200MHz - ₹ 5150/-
1 x 16GB DDR5 4800MHz - ₹ 7000/-
1 x 170W Lenovo Power adapter - ₹ 1800/- No lower wattage was available at this time and knowing well that this would be an overkill for my P330 right now, I went ahead with this in case I would add a GPU later.
RAM and SSD prices as being talked about everywhere are going crazy wild. Decided that there’s no point in timing and waiting and jumped in.
However, my overall spend across components was a little too much to process and hence dropped the plan to get the HP Pro Mini 400 G9 with 13500T. It itself was a good deal, I thought, but given that I need to buy more RAM and SSD for it pushed the price to insane levels at once.
Awaiting tracking details.
Thanks @aasimenator.

They could probably cost MORE than the Mini-PC.
I suggest 2x64 GB. Let be nice now.
