I was about to comment - there's absolutely no issue buying an RPi4 in the UK currently, if you don't mind buying a bundle. Pimoroni has few different ones in stock currently.

And yes it discourages the scalpers - while the stuff you get in the bundle is usually worth the price being asked for it, to a scalper it's worth 0 and it makes it difficult to make profit flipping the boards themselves. Same principle is successfully used to fight PS5 scalpers.



I wouldn't say there's 'absolutely no issue' buying one in the UK, I just checked on Pimoroni and they're all out of stock, every single one:

I wasn't able to actually find any website other than eBay at 100+ quid that have them in stock, even as kits.


You're looking at bare boards. I specifically said bundles are in stock, and no, they are not "100+ quid"
