Last I looked
which was, admittedly, a few days ago
Google Shopping still has some retailers that have stock and haven't yet jacked their price up. Mostly dinky little companies.

Never heard of these guys, can't vouch for their reputability, but they have 2x32GB of DDR5 for $159.99 listed as being in stock.
The University of Virginia Bookstore
which I imagine is reputable
appears to be selling 2x32GB DDR5 for $245.95, and it looks like one can buy as a guest, so one presumably doesn't need to be a University of Virginia student or staff.

EDIT: I would advise, though, that if you plan to get memory in the near future, that you're probably better-off getting it ASAP, since I'm sure that there are going to be scalpers combing over all those small retailers before too long if they haven't gotten to someone yet.
