Scalpers for highly sought-after hardware or just general lack of supply in specific regions.

Why would raspberry pi’s be expensive but the hardware to build a server be any cheaper?

Second hand markets exist and Raspberry Pis are rarely sold second hand.

Sorry for my ignorance, so brasil has nothing like an Amazon where OP could buy a new pi from and have it delivered? If thats the case i feel like I could buy OP a pi and ship it to them in brasil for less cost than it would be to buy anyother option of hardware for a home server. Assuming USPS still offers flat rate boxes for international shipments.

I’m not Brazilian, but I’m guessing importing stuff is expensive. Look at PC components elsewhere in the world, it’s typically much more expensive than the US.

Right but thats kinda what im saying is that wouldn’t all hardware be expensive and not just Pis?
