There were sellers buying the smallest RAM units, changing the RAM chips, and then reselling them as the higher RAM SKUs. The sellers who do this don’t always care to use good RAM chips and may even use QA reject parts. When the unit doesn’t work correctly, the anger and RMA requests are directed back at the Raspberry Pi foundation.
Painful that the RPi higher memory versions are so crazy overpriced that made the RAM swap, an obviously expensive process, meaningful.
The solution of ofcourse would be to have market prices that are meaningful rather than trying to retain the overpricing moat through sabotage.
