(I've always got all of that, and I still get grumpy when people talk about the "$5 Pi Zero" - I've never been able to get a bare Pi Zero in my hand for anything less that about $13US which is close to $20AUD...)
If I don't need either of those, a 2nd hand office grade pc can usually be had for the same price as a Pi3 around here.
It is very annoying when companies like valve charge considerably more for digital goods though. For really expensive software like Photoshop it used to be cheaper to fly to the USA buy it and return home then buy locally.
I've been getting trinkets shipped here from AliExpress for nothing - I'm not sure it's economies of scale.
