> Buy a PI's Canadian store is selling them for $185 > For those who have been having problems getting one, is it because they've been hoarding them? They retail for well under $100. You’ve been buying from scalpers who are jacking up the prices. MSRP-priced retailers haven’t been able to keep stock in years, and often sell out within minutes of getting inventory. Some people just want their first or second RPI, but aren’t willing to pay scalpers. I don’t know how many people are hoarding them, but I know some people prefer them to arduinos and more simple microcontrollers. Many people are more familiar with Linux development instead of embedded development. When they were cheap $35 boards, the advice was buy one per project.
