Switch price/availability weirdness?

They are manufactured in China. Production has been down for months. Nintendo commented on this back in January.

I've been looking for the same reason. My wife wants to play New Horizons so bad but wow the standard consoles are ridiculous in price or unavailable right now. Ebay sellers want upwards of $400 for a Switch! The New Horizons edition is over $500!

Everyone is afraid of getting bored while shut-in, so yes, video game sales are spiking in general, and switch consoles in particular. New supply may be constrained too with China having shut down manufacturing for a few weeks.
