£79 is official RPi5 8GB price in the UK. So €90 sounds correct.
Comment on Raspberry Pi is now manufacturing 70,000 Pi 5s per week, will surge to 90,000 in February
WallEx@feddit.de 8 months agoSo what is the price supposed to be? I’m seeing ~90€ for the 8gb variant

That’s decent. They sell for over $130 on Amazon. And that’s the issue. You can check decent stock and prices here: raspistock.com

Yeah okay, that is way out of line, are there really scalpers, that buy raspis? 50 bucks for shipping one of those sounds like a decent business model … But scalpers suck nonetheless

Yes plenty of scalpers were mass buying boards to increase the shortage. Now adafruit requires an authentified account to buy them with a quantity limit.

MSRP is $80 I believe

That sounds okay with taxes and stuff

It’s “okay” but you can do much better for the price.

I bought an old thinkcentre for $50 on ebay that trounces the Pi’s performance.
