Sold by a scalper near you five seconds after it's sold out at launch

Was able to get rpi3bs easy...4 drops...never saw one that wasn't overpriced scalped shit.

4s were pretty easy to find pre 2020, I bought one at launch and 2 more before the pandemic hit and I never paid more than MSRP for any of them.

I didn't know they were that hard to find now. I have a few of every generation and they were never hard to find, or expensive. Must have bought my 4s before the pandemic as well I guess

Just wait until the market stabilizes.

These aren't GPUs in the crypto boom, they don't produce their own profit. Stop buying from scalpers and the price will crater.

It's not the everyman buying from scalpers its industry buying cheap pis over plc, when it's that much cheaper scalper prices isnt much to them. And they need them NOW. Gotta love just in time manufacturing.
