CanaKit Raspberry Pi 5 Starter Kit PRO - Turbine Black (128GB Edition) 
(8GB RAM)
Order placed October 9, 2024
$135.99

'Buy it again' is indeed $259.95.  I don't think so.

amazon.com/BOSGAME-E5-Ryzen-Business-Office/dp/B0GQ43833C/
Ryzen 5300U 4C/ 8T, 8GB DDR4 256GB M.2 2280 SSD,
$259.99

The price history is interesting. The low for the last 30 days was $227.98 
but there was a spike to $359.59 around the end of July before falling 
back to $259.95.
