Oh, that could be. In which country are you seeing Pi 4s in stock? All the vendors in North America are out, and Chinese suppliers on AliBaba are charging 2x the normal retail price.

  Oh, thanks for the pointer. I've never heard of them, as they're not an approved reseller. They're limiting orders to 20 per customer. They're selling the 2 GB Pi 4B boards for 42% over MSRP, but I might bite the bullet and pick some up.

    Update: I tried purchasing 20 of the 2 GB and they told me they don't expect to have any in stock until October. They're still listing them as in stock on the website, though. And they say they actually can fulfill 4 GB orders immediately.

Germany, Switzerland, France, Singapore, etc., though the one I originally looked up was Akizuki as they're familiar to me. Distributors that have it in stock are either not shipping globally or have no English page, or both, so there might be a bit of difficulty and extra costs for arranging proxy shipments. Below is random pick from "Industry" tab in "Buy Raspberry Pi 4 Model B"[2] page. - buyzero.de, $70, "Lieferfrist: Sofort versandfertig, Lieferfrist 1-2 Tage" - pi-shop.ch, $67, "Verfügbarkeit: Sofort-Versand ab Lager" - yadom.fr, $74, "Disponibilité : En stock", "commande passée avant 16H est expédiée le jour même." - raspberrypi.dk/en/, $77, "_If_ the product is in stock: shipment within 0-2 weekdays.", "In stock" - sg.cytron.io, $64, "Availability: 41", "Limit to 20 unit(s) per order." 1: https://akizukidenshi.com/catalog/g/gM-14778/ https://akizukidenshi.com/catalog/g/gM-14778/ 2: https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-4-model-b/?variant=raspberry-pi-4-model-b-4gb&resellerType=industry https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-4-model-b/...

  Thanks for those pointers! I commented on the blog post, and someone from Raspberry Pi actually reached out to me, so I might be able to buy directly from the foundation. But it's good to know about these alternative retailers in case I'm not able to buy direct.
