Why not buy an old Google Pixel like a 4a or 5. Install GrapheneOS on it. Don't put a sim card in it. Only use WiFi.
Now you can use any wallet apps. You can choose to not install any apps on this device.
What you are describing exists. You can buy a Pixel 4a on Amazon for $200 and you are done.
Not sure why you don't want the phone. It's just a computer. There are Cyberdeck type devices that run Linux on SBC and you could install Blue wallet but it would be way more clunky.
I dig pocket computers but not for a spending wallet.

You can find one on ebay for 90 USD.

Yeah, I was thinking something like under $50 all in. This is a great idea though. I’m less thinking of for myself so much as folks that straight up CANNOT be spied on or just don’t have much capital.

Under 50 would be tough these days for a computer of any sort that is portable and pocket size.

I guess part of what made me start thinking about this is learning how to setup raspberry pi 0s, which they sell for $10 at the microcenter I go to.

That’s said, that’s before camera, battery, and all that stuff k00b mentioned.

That's a zero. They have their usage but I'm skeptical of them for your use case. You'd need a screen and input device.

OR, would it be possible to use an ssh type situation where the buyer (with the pi zero wallet) basically clicks the button that comes on it to confirm logging in to the stores wifi and then clicks the button again to confirm payment. Maybe an itty bitty screen (like the one seed signer uses) is installed to confirm payment amount. The whole thing would still be under $30 and not trackable (transactions are trackable, but not physical location (thinking about folks in like Myanmar or somewhere like that, could be needed anywhere in the future)). So no camera. The only issue at that point is power.
