It's not just in Spain, I saw a CCR2116 for almost $2K USD on Amazon last week.

Amazon is a dogs breakfast (in terms of knowing who the vendor actually is), I would be more concerned with a supposedly 'valid' seller storefront online.

I think what you are seeing here is that when a particular device is not available from normal resellers, someone who might (or might not) actually have one will sell it for the price he thinks it is worth on the market (or which might attract some buyer who really wants to have it).

In this case, it was a well-known reseller and not some random person.

Basic economics: supply and demand.
There is an offer and maybe there would be a buyer.

PcComponentes is a general computer store, the other ones are more professional oriented.

You only have to know where to buy and where not.

Well, I don't know if "PcComponentes" ever had this device in stock, but when I look at local and other suppliers they mostly indicate "no stock", "delivery time at least 2 weeks", "will be in stock next month", etc.
SO apparently it is unobtanium. In some cases when stores add a new product they will put some imaginary price on it, e.g. because their naive web shop system cannot list items without a price. But usually in that case it would be priced like 999,99 or 999.999,99 or similar.
So no idea what is going on here. I assume that when you tell them you want 100 items at that price, it will turn out they don't have them.
(one item, maybe yes)

@jprietove........
Ever converted a movistar Askey RTF8115VW from Triple play to Double play ( From internet/IPTV/VOIP to IPTV/VOIP only )? In other words remove the pppoe interface on the router part of the Askey modem/router and move it to lets say ether4 and thus connect ones own Mikrotik router?

I think these are the steps but looking for some affirmative feedback.........

Configuring MOVISTAR For External MT Router

Step1 Go to the WAN INTERFACE MENU AND DISABLE THE WAN LINE (ip2 – pppo) Note the instruction says to delete, but to keep the information available why not just disable. Should have the same effect. The purpose is to remove the current WAN connection between the modem RGO connection and the Movistar DHCP client on the router side ( stop it from giving the public IP to the movistar router part! )
...

...
Step2 Decide which port on the Movistar router we will designate as the WAN port so to speak, we will choose ether4.

Step3 Next we will access the FILTERING PAGE find etho.4 and DELETE IT> ( hint line index 10 ). Currently ether 4 is considered associated or bridged with the LAN ports.
...

...
Step4 Referring to the diagram above, we now create a new RULE to associate the etherport to the WAN Bridge, using the ADD button at the very top. In other words, adding etho.4 to the Bridge containing the WAN, which now only really consists of RGO as we removed the PPO interface from the moviestar router in step 1.
{FILL in the Following Parameters}
Adm State: Enabled
Order: Put it as last rule #.
Interface: etho.4
Associated Bridge: 1(Internet WAN)
Egress Packet: All
VLAN ID: 6

Hit apply!

Step 5 Now go to the MARKING Page….. Similar process DELETE etho.4 and create a new rule. (Hint index 6.)
...
G1.JPG
...
Step 6 Add the new rule using the ADD button at the top. This selection appears to complete the last steps to connect the modem to the LAN port eth0.4. In the previous new rule we bridged the two interfaces in the same 'WAN" bridge. In this rule, it appears we are ensuring the traffic is passed on vlan6 from one to the other. Basically a trunk port type connection. Thus the modem RGO will be passing the public IP address onwards to ethero.4 and thus to any router connected to ether4. I don’t fully understand how this is accomplished by -1 and 1 settings below… but that is what is detailed online that I could find.

FILL in the following parameters.

Adm State: Enabled
Interface: etho.4
Associated Bridge: 1(Internet WAN)
Egress Marking: Accepted Type: Tagged
VLAN ID (remark) : -1
Priority Re-Mark: 1
Hit Apply!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Step7 Add Mikrotik router WAN port to ether4 on the Askey device. Ensure PPPOE username and password are correct.
Step 8 Add ISPs - IP address, IP gateway, DNS servers ( from previous settings)

Done.

My dear Bartosz, this topic is not all that important ( mostly an observation ), and I didnt want to waste another thread on my specific question to a specific poster LOL.
Since JP from Cadiz, is active on the thread, I thought to reach him, would be easier here. If you prefer I can start another topic?
Even better if you have is email address and phone number I can contact hiim directly. :-)

Lets say if there is no response by today, I will make that a new topic.............

Larsa, the flying scavenger mouse ready to swoop down and eat regurgitated dogs breakfast. How yummy!

Well, sorry if this is off-topic. @anav, my contact details can be found on Trainers page of MikroTik. Also on Consultants.

I've done that configuration before. I don't have a router near to check it, but it looks good.
