Time to check out old
catalogs. What size ram? 128x8 or 1024x1.
Current 2102 prices are $1.50 to $2.00. link below memory prices 1958 to 2008

If you're talking bare chips: from the back pages of Kilobaud, May'77,
SD Sales has a deal on 21L02's (1K*1,500nS): 8 for $12.95
Prices from other back-page retailers are similar, around 1.20 - 1.70 for 2102's.
From the same mag Sep'79, prices for a 2102 are
about the same.
Here's another deal from '79, 2114's (1K*4): 8 for $45-50, so still around
12$
per KByte.
Granted, those are all probably floor sweepings.

Depending on how you measure it (via www.measuringworth.com)
that $12 is about $35-40 in today's dollars.
And by Xmas '08, Amazon.com sold a 4 gigabyte microSD for $9.
