Does this decrease or increase my odds of getting a Pi for MSRP?
Yes
Buy from Mouser or Digikey. They'll just add you to the queue and eventually you'll get one.
Last I looked they had the 4 in stock sitting around.
There are a LOT of Pi 4's in stock right now: https://rpilocator.com/?cat=PI4%2CPI5
And Pi 5's if you know where to look: https://makerbright.com/raspberry-pi-5.html
You can buy a Pi 5 right now from MakerBright, they've been available all week: https://makerbright.com/raspberry-pi-5.html
There's a 1-2 week shipping delay and a $14 shipping charge, which kinda sucks. But this isn't the pandemic chip shortage anymore, you can get a Raspberry Pi now. Especially if you want a Pi 4, they're widely available: https://rpilocator.com/?cat=PI4%2CPI5
