  I seem to recall buying the same kit 3-4 years ago for around $50. Has memory gotten a lot more expensive recently?

    Yes, they were ~$50 back when the dollar was getting US$1.10, also with the explosion of mobile devices like tablets the demand for RAM has slowed a fair bit.

    Back in 2012, demand for DDR3 was low, and you could buy memory DIMMs for very cheap.

    Then, in 2013, a fire forced the closing of SK Hynix’s factory in Wuxi. That particular factory produced 10% of worldwide's memory chips.
    Company such as Apple, HP, Lenovo still needed as much memory modules for their products, which ramped up the demand:offer ratio.
    Prices skyrocketed back then. As of today, price are still high but keep decreasing since production of memory chips is back to full speed.

  Vengeance, Ballistix, patriot, viper, fury , sniper … what's with all the silly bogan names?

  It all sounds like names for muscle cars, or cheap-but-loud speakers.
