This is tangential, but when did Raspberry Pi get so expensive? I'm in the EU and starter kits that used to cost maybe €50 are the far side of €250 or even €300

The original price made it very attractive for their BOM and now they are willing to pay >$100 per RPi because put Docker and NodeRed on them and then they sell them for $300-400.
