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

I suppose looking at it from a gaming/emulation perspective. While the Pi4 was fantastic, there are definitely out there foe that usecase
Can you attach any RPi HATS to it? No? Not an alternative then.
£79 is official RPi5 8GB price in the UK. So €90 sounds correct.
That’s decent. They sell for over $130 on Amazon. And that’s the issue. You can check decent stock and prices here: https://raspistock.com/
