2x is current normal due to shortages, 10x is definitely wrong places.

You can snipe at 1x from the usual rpi vendors when they come back in stock, if you make the effort.

Please only buy from certified vendors and do not under any circumstances pay anyone over normal retail price.

Part of me wants to buy a $200 pi on Amazon, wait 29 days, and then return it. I enjoy the thought of a scalper having his inventory unavailable until price normality returns.

Also, some retailers have just the pi out of stock, but have it in stock if you get a bundle with a case, etc. That's how I got an 8GB one a few weeks ago.
