I managed to get one from Adafruit last week. They restock ~weekly, typically Wednesdays, and sell out within a few minutes of the notification going out.

I don't get how they can sell out so quickly. Why won't stores simply raise the price in order to reach parity between supply and demand?

The official suppliers are required to sell at MSRP. People buy and then resell at higher prices so you can usually find them on amazon and eBay for double or more the MSRP.

Supply and demand balancing doesn't make you a douchebag.

Because the Raspberry Pi Foundation typically negotiates agreements with its resellers stating that they won't sell above MSRP.
