The shortage is a real thing.  I remember when it was first starting to happen we tracked down a Pi 400 still new in the box for $100.  Was amazed that one place was still selling them at normal retail price.  Shortly after that you couldn't get them anywhere.  

I'm glad I got in to them early.  I have a few of them sitting around so if I get the itch I can just spin up a project.  Only 1 Pi 400 So better will have to be careful with that one.  

I basically view Pi and the new commodore. and really hope things turn around for them.
