    So what is the price supposed to be? I’m seeing ~90€ for the 8gb variant

            I bought an old thinkcentre for $50 on ebay that trounces the Pi’s performance.

            Reduce, REUSE, recycle.

              I agree that’s a better device but I don’t think it’s fair to compare new to used. You could probably buy a used Pi4 for $20, and if that is sufficient for your needs, would be a much better deal.

                I suppose looking at it from a gaming/emulation perspective. While the Pi4 was fantastic, there are definitely out there foe that usecase

        Yeah okay, that is way out of line, are there really scalpers, that buy raspis? 50 bucks for shipping one of those sounds like a decent business model … But scalpers suck nonetheless

          Yes plenty of scalpers were mass buying boards to increase the shortage. Now adafruit requires an authentified account to buy them with a quantity limit.
