I am sorry, I mean it's around 300 RMB. It's about $50

Actually you can get one of the cheap tablets for like 350RMB. the same spec, plus a subpar 7 inch touch screen, battery and a camera. Like "Gemei G3"

$50 is the minimum price those things go for if you buy in quantity.

resellers for low quantity either will charge way more ($70~$99) or will ship from china and it will take weeks~months to get it.

Well in that case, nobody can actually get a $35 Raspberry Pi. You have to pay for tax and shipping (see element14).

not talking about tax+shipping here. but even on alibaba.com those boards sell for $50. unless you buy 1000s

on dealextreme it's a little more than 50 (but they include shipping in the price)
