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

[–] Aux@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

£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/

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

[–] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

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.
