Niche question but I need some help. Here is likely the wrong place but idk where else.

I want to buy an ambernic handheld, specifically the sp but I cannot purchase directly because of insane shipping costs. Anyone know any Europe based resellers? Would aliexpress be an option for better prices? I need advice

Edit: ordered it from aliexpress. 76 euros.

Anbernic release so many handhelds and the price tends to come down a couple months after release. Maybe the SP will get there? I got a 35xxh a little while back from a UK eBay seller for about £40 if memory serves. On the other hand I imagine the SP has been super popular so who can say.

So I should wait? My problem is shipping, not price

imo it's sort of like computer graphics cards. There is never one singular best time to buy because something better is always right around the corner, and prices are always fluctuating up and down. If the SP is drawing you in to buy now, then go for it! The SP already emulates every non-analog stick console perfectly (and even a couple that do have analog sticks), so it's not like there's any point to waiting for a more powerful device.
