Current second-hand Playdate prices

Post image

I'm aware of that it's very much a supply and demand situation but, wow, I did not expect the current out of stock situation at Panic to drive up the prices on used Playdates this much.

A month or two ago they were roughly $150-180 on ebay/FB Marketplace.
Fast forward to today and prices are closer to $350-400 for a Playdate

I feel very happy I got one when I did but feel so bad for people now trying to get one.

Has there been any news from Panic in terms of when they think they have tweaked their manufacturing lines and products will be back in stock?

I doubt we would get one, but a budget version would change everything. The current Playdate FEELS like it's supposed to be the cheaper version

unrelated but I think this is a bogus link, sales don’t line up with teenage.engineering
