The pi3B+ and pi4B are still $35 for the 1GB models and have the same performance today that they did when they came out (and way more compatible software).

If all you're doing is setting up a tinkering lab at a school, which everyone and their mom seems to want to do judging by the comments, you can still do that. The only thing that has changed is the entry of the sbc choices. Raspberry pi hasn't gotten worse, the market has just caught up with them to some degree and that's fine.

Maybe it's just them not being sold here officially, bit I have NOT seen those for $35. They're all closer to $100.

I literally just went to the links provided by the Buy Now buttons on the raspberry pi website and they're all there.

I feel like there's a Mandela effect thing going on with how people remember the price of pis several years ago. If anything, because of inflation, pis are cheaper now than when they released.

Well, "buy now" would not work here, that's the point. Neither of the resellers listed (one does indeed list the low price) ships here.

Oh my god. Where are you located? I'll literally look it up for you.

FFS.
