      Nah, it’s a common sense. Too bad many people are lacking it and will happily pay 200% or 300% of MSRP, because they must have newest and shiniest stuff.

        I have been waiting literally 3 years to buy a Pi zero 2 W at its MSRP, So I can upgrade the pi zero that runs my 3d printer with something that can also handle video processing.

        I only just was able to get one last week… (canakit has em in case anyone need one)

      I don’t think so.

      Selling scarce items for high prices is pretty much basic economics and the heart of capitalism: if demand remains high and the supply goes down, prices go up.

      If people don’t like the game, they don’t have to play it. I don’t.
