One disti just dropped from £1.20 to 50p when I told them I am paying 50p.

There is a lot of pisstaking going on, but no more than usual.

Since distributors (small and large alike) have now gotten used to the elevated prices, getting them back to  "normal" will happen only when the demand drops dramatically, rather than just when the offer raises back to "normal" levels. Just my 2 cents.

Curbing the profiteers of any crisis usually takes another crisis. ::)

That usually requires price fixing which is forbidden in many countries. We need just one distributor/reseller that wants to
lower the price somewhat in order to sell more and the others will follow. Than the cycle of lowering the price will repeat
untill a normal margin will be reached. It's called competition.

Meanwhile, hobbyists and such are finding better alterative SBCs like x86 boards and, God help us, Intel NUCs.
