I recently bought an rPi 4. After trying in vain to find any in stock at a reasonable price, I figured out you can buy units that are preconfigured for another purpose and re-flash them (eg https://www.pishop.us/product/raspberry-pi-w-optisigns-pre-c... - in stock right now).

I’m not sure others have caught onto this yet given these are still in stock.

Seems that’s about $20 markup? Not bad if you’ve been looking for awhile. Comes with a case, sd card and psu.
official PSU is $15-20, SD card is $5-10, and a case can be 3d printed or bought for $5-$20 depending.

I didn't look at the link so i could be missing that if you add all that up, there's still a $20 markup above and beyond that.
