I wish this had more RAM and at least a USB-C to boot off of: it'd be pretty nice for singular use cases.

I'd replace the Pi 4 in my 3D printer controller with one and use that Pi 4 for a bunch of other things since they're impossible to find outside of scalpers in my country now. :/

yeh I'm a bit shocked they stuck with micro-usb. I understand its a little cheaper but I'd certainly be willing to pay a few quid more for it

Why are they scalping PIs? Not much use for mining right?

[dspillett]

Scalping is usually to sell back to the market at a higher price. People will do that with anything that is in demand but low supply, which has been the case with the initial release of rPi products in the past. I doubt they'll make much, but they make something.

We have an official reseller but it’s been out of stock for months unfortunately. The making a quick buck on other people’s misfortune thing is widespread here. PS5s still cost upwards of $1000.

That sucks. They should limit how many they sell to a buyer.

[dspillett]

Unfortunately there are ways around any scheme to limit scalpers, so no matter what you try they will still come and you'll just inconvenience the genuine people who was the product/show/other even more.

Pi's have always had a lot of resale value, specially in countries where they are not manufactured (no official reseller).
