  I was going to say, will I ever be able to buy one?

    I was able to buy 2 Pi4's while trying to source 20.

    They cost 2 and 5 times the expected price.

    I ended up converting the project to use VIA industrial x86 boards instead. Reliable supply and reliable price.

    Are you talking about RPi4 or RPi5? RP4 can be now found easily, at least in my region (Spain).

      In the US they are still hard to get. When they are in stock they still sell out in a day

        Pi 4b 4GB in stock on US Amazon for 66 right now.

        They’ve been in stock a while. That’s barely above MSRP.

    There were a lot of supply chain issues in general that also affected the RP.

      This is really a myth, they make a lot of pis every month and have done for a very long time. 99% of them go to industry instead of end users.

        It was the same for any electronics during covid. If you didn’t have any volume buy, the manufacturers and suppliers didn’t give you the time of the day.

        The supply chain is better now and there is some availability.

    Yes. Availability of RPi4 has been low to none over the past 2-3 years.
