GrumbleDook Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 I might drop a line to RS ... they are only just up the road from me so I'll see if they are selling any over the counter.
JJonas Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 from twitter... Mark Hemmings @mhemmings If a woman proposes to me today, with a @Raspberry_Pi, I'll have to say yes. my reply @mhemmings If a woman proposes to me any day with a @Raspberry_Pi I will have to say yes, the wife might not be too happy about it though!
Dos_Box Posted February 29, 2012 Author Posted February 29, 2012 If you want bitter, read some of the comments on The Registers article here: Raspberry Pi signs big-name sellers ? reghardware
X-13 Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 I might drop a line to RS ... they are only just up the road from me so I'll see if they are selling any over the counter. Don't you mean under the counter?
sted Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 I might drop a line to RS ... they are only just up the road from me so I'll see if they are selling any over the counter. let me know if you get anywhere as i can soon drive past the RS in leeds
glennda Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 I've just cheated with the Farnell Site - can't get on the UK one so used one of the others which is working fine.
JJonas Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 let me know if you get anywhere as i can soon drive past the RS in leeds I believe RS are waiting for stock and that stock will go to those that registered an interest first, might be quite a while before you can just drop in and pick one up
GrumbleDook Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Got some feedback from RS. You still have to register to express an interest, and they will send out the stock they have to those first. After that they will then sell over the counter but they will get back to me if anything can be arranged collectively.
Jawloms Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Oh dear....... Raspberry Pi Model B with Ethernet 700MHz ARM SBC | eBay
JJonas Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Oh dear....... Raspberry Pi Model B with Ethernet 700MHz ARM SBC | eBay He has no stock, it should be reported, certainly some of the other auctions have been reported
Dos_Box Posted February 29, 2012 Author Posted February 29, 2012 He has no stock, it should be reported, certainly some of the other auctions have been reported OMG!! £1k for an item they don't even have and then ask you to wait a few weeks, by which time you'd be able to order one for about £25 (inc VAT+delivery) anyway.
X-13 Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) OMG!! £1k for an item they don't even have and then ask you to wait a few weeks, by which time you'd be able to order one for about £25 (inc VAT+delivery) anyway. > £1k You forgot to add the £3.50 delivery. [£3.50 for the UK. Add more for other places.] Edited February 29, 2012 by X-13
JJonas Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 if he gets £1000 for it 90% should be donated to charity
X-13 Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 if he gets £1000 for it 90% should be donated to charity Then he's still making 300% profit. Take the cost of the Pi and delivery costs away from the sold price [actual costs. Not made up ones] and give THAT to charity. Le EDIT: I'd allow 100% profit [~£25] for expansion.
JJonas Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Morally Ebay should just say this is a charitable item any profits over cost price will be donated back to the charity, that would put an end to the Ebay scammers
X-13 Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Morally Ebay should just say this is a charitable item any profits over cost price will be donated back to the charity, that would put an end to the Ebay scammers But, how will eBay take their cut? WON'T ANYONE THINK OF THE PROFITS!
JJonas Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 But, how will eBay take their cut? WON'T ANYONE THINK OF THE PROFITS! ebay take their cut out of the cost price the scammer gets back, scammer loses money and hopefully learns a lesson.
X-13 Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 ebay take their cut out of the cost price the scammer gets back, scammer loses money and hopefully learns a lesson. In all seriousness, eBay would be douches if they did that. Say, for instance, the Pi guys whacked all the boards on eBay for charity. They'd end up losing a lot of money and end up out of business. All because they were trying to do something good.
JJonas Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Raspberry Pi as the charity would be exempt, anybody selling one in a charitable auction would be allowed to make a small profit.
