FWIW, I had to order mine from the USA - 30$ + another 30$ for shipping 
I recommended looking around on ebay.
There's something here but it's unclear to me whether it's the right model.

Why are there so many with no battery covers? Like one guy with 34 that come that way, not just some random guy that broke or lost his . . .

On my Droid 4 the battery cover's hitch went loose after a small fragment of it broke off. Perhaps that is more common.

Instead, try to buy from EU/UK/Switzerland if possible to avoid import fees etc. Also shipping should be lower. You can check ebay uk, de, fr, it etc... Even if the seller doesn't write shipping to Greece, you can still write to them and ask them about the lowest cost with tracking number. Some might still accept that.

Have in mind that this device was released in Verizon's network only so it's rare to find someone own it and want to sell it in Europe.

But still, you never know, you might still be able to find it in Europe, even if it is rarer here.

Finally I got the device! Ebay.us had it on not allowed devices to be shipped here, I have no idea why, so I used a service to reship it to me and after they told me the parcel was lost I received it! 2.5 months in total but thankfully it arrived safe!
The device is in impeccable condition. Looking forward to installing Maemo Leste on it. Anyone knows what's the minimum sd size for Leste installation?
edit: found one nokia sd card with 2gb of storage and flashed the latest image from February 28th. Looks great! I appreciate the work done from the team so far.
