That's quite a markup you're experiencing. A conversion based on US prices makes it seem like you should be able to get that stuff for a little more than sixty Euros. If you can get it at all: availability is tough right now all over, I assume.

Is that price difference about shipping costs or VAT or what?

That is a very cool looking thing, but targeting a different use case, I would think.

idk, maybe you get it a bit cheaper if you look around. This is from a offical store though: https://www.raspberrystore.nl/PrestaShop/complete-sets/245-r...

It's the rest of the kit that makes it expensive.

If you don't need all the parts, then you can shave some off.

I mean, at the very least you always need a charger and a sd card, the barebone price is kinda misleading

Not everyone has to buy that separately. For example, I have plenty of sd cards laying around. For the charger you are probably right due to the rpi not working with every usbc adapter, but that's 10 euros.

You selected the 4GB one, but if you select the 2GB or 1GB version things get cheaper too. I think they are great value for a very reasonable price.
