Same here. No way I am paying those ridiculous resale prices. This was something I really wanted, it is baffling they released it -- then didn't produce a ton more when they realized the demand. A friend of mine built a pi based emulator, I played around with it the other day -- it was actually very nice. The controllers he used in the setup were bluetooth (8bit brand?). https://retropie.org.uk/ https://retropie.org.uk/

Based on what (admittedly little) I know about at-scale production of consumer electronics, it isn't exactly easy to just "produce a ton more" when they realize the demand. It is also difficult to tell what the cap on demand is. If they think they satisfied maybe 70% of the total demand for that product with the N-Number of units they produced, they may consider that "good enough" and not worth launching another production run.
