$50?... (Score:2)

I paid nearly $1k for 4 or 8MB of RAM for the SE/30 in 89 iirc...about the same for the HUGE 40MB hard drive that I thought would take years to fill :)

  IIRC the RAM cost around $150 per 16K cartridge. (Though it was more than 20 years ago, so I may not be RC) I thought it was an awful lot of memory at the time, and I suppose it was--you could do quite a bit with 16K of RAM when writing in Atari BASIC. Or 6502 assembly. Now you're hard pressed to squeeze the dynamic library link info into 16K...
