Raspberry Pi Shortage?

[MuhScopeBroke]

I figured that such a large supplier would have their shortage supply lines figured out by now but I still can't find RPis at anything less than double retail price.

I need a few for my university club and its very nerve racking relying on the sole RPi we have left for all our testing.

Availability of Raspberry Pis has always been uncertain, I think it's on purpose. It's been one of the numerous issues utilizing it in professional installations.

I'm surprised how fast things ran out. I got some two months ago with no problems. Now it's next shipments "Expected 2022-01-20" 4GB Mouser.
PiShop Canada prices have stayed the same but recent "NOTICE: Due to the global shortage we currently have a limit of one board per customer per month..."

"More stock available to supplier lead times which is approximately 28/11/22" lol, hopefuly a typo there.

28/11/22" lol, hopefuly a typo there.

Don't count on it. Have a look at the stock and lead times at your favourite reputable distributor for any complex ICs - microprocessors, FPGAs, that kind of thing.

Price increases and update Oct. 21
... a shortage of some products, notably Raspberry Pi Zero and the 2GB variant of Raspberry Pi 4."
"... We’re now expecting our supply chain challenges to continue through much of 2022. These challenges will fall most heavily on our older products, built on 40nm silicon: in practice, anything that isn’t a Raspberry Pi 4, Raspberry Pi 400, or Compute Module 4.
2GB Raspberry Pi 4 temporarily moves back up to $45
1GB Raspberry Pi 4 makes a comeback at $35

"  we expect to have enough 28nm silicon over the next twelve months to support both our existing Raspberry Pi 4 and Compute Module 4 customers, and customers migrating from Raspberry Pi 3B+; and that we see early signs that the supply chain situation is starting to ease."

I’ve got a few. What would you like to buy? I need cash more than raspberries.

I'm interested, let me pm you

The hard days are over. Now more difficult days await us. Unfortunately

Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W released
Despite the name, it's actually based off the Raspberry Pi 3.
https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-zero-2-w/

It's also $15, not $10 like the original Zero, but some of that could be due to silicon shortage.

Still out of stock at distributors and retailers.  New 2GB Raspberry Pi 4s going for ~$100 on eBay.

See my other thread. Selling 4GB Pi 4

[CJay]

I have enough Pi 3 to be getting on with, I can wait for stock.

I put a backorder in with RS for a Pi Zero W and it arrived about 2 months later on the agreed time.

It's just the way it is now unfortunately.  Ukraine crisis is likely going to make it worse too.
