If you have a little patience you can get a pi at MSRP from official retailers which have their stock listed here: https://rpilocator.com/

You can also use my telegram bot https://github.com/sschueller/rpilocatorbot which will send you a message as soon as the one you want is in stock.

I just got myself a CM4 a few days ago thanks to rpilocator.

I have been getting Rpilocator notifications for 6 months and wasn’t able to get a pi. If you start your order 15 seconds later you are basically out of luck. Same story for all my friends. So while I get that some people got lucky, it’s not a matter of “a little bit of patience”.
