You are talking about the high prices of the EU store? Yeah, that pissed me off too. The only thing you are getting for paying this much is 2 years of warranty (the American store gives like 30 days or something), but that doesn’t justify the price increase for me. You also get free shipping, but shipping doesn’t cost this much. If you order from the American store, you will have to pay the VAT tax and possibly some other fee, so you will probably end up paying about the same. It sucks.
You might be able to get a used one, though. I’ve seem people sell them on Pine64’s forum and on reddit.
Thanks for mentioning this! :) yes, I was talking about the EU store. Also, I get that making a phone isnt cheap. Especially the support will suck for them as EU law is brutal (which I learn to love over time). I could imagine peeps in the EU sending a lot pf phones back for stuck pixels or other small defects which will cost pine64 more than making the phone. Will check if a used one is available somewhere.
