It's a scam, right? How can they offer such good prices when Pi’s are backordered elsewhere?

The domain is registered on June 6, 2023. They must have had their hands, by magic, on a few shipping containers full of Pi's that fell of a ship, and now selling them at msrp, while the competition charges you an ARM and a leg. Reeks of a scam.

I see tons available now that the supply chain is fixed. https://rpilocator.com/?cat=PI4

But not for the pricings that OP's site is offering. It seems to good to be true

I wasn't debating the pricing, I was questioning OP for the "backordered elsewhere" part.

The site looks like a scam (based on no evidence whatsoever). It is very simple and minimal for a shopping site and has a total of three pages with very little on them.

It’s a scam. There’s a bunch of identical shopify sites you can find by googling some of the text from that page, they make new ones as they get taken down.
