I read this article saying it will go on sale today: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-17190918

But was unable to get into the store at the time until now and I also see just the link of  'express interest'

[Brian Goessling]

Yes, it's strange.  The main website uses the words to buy, but the rest just says Express Interest. But I have expressed my interest in both places... lol

Good luck. Farnell sold out about 30 minutes after 1am. Many, many people were also angry because the suppliers R.Pi chose are in Europe/england with no North American retailers so we got screwed a bit on that one. The next batch should be going up for sale in about a month (beginning of April). I suspect that you will be able to actually get some out of that batch. You will also be able to buy more than one at that time.

[Craig]

Awesome, thanks for the update Jon!

[Brian Goessling]

Got an email over the weekend and finally had time to put my order in today at Newark. Said estimated shipping date was the end of the month.

Brian Goessling

[Tye Scott]

Did you get local shipping rates? Last I looked there was a $20 additional charge.

[Brian Goessling]

Nope, free shipping! It said something when I was ordering that the shipping fees will show up in the confirmation email. There it stated 0. But I checked with the Newark/Element 14 support to be sure and they said there is no shipping fee for the Raspberry Pi.

Cheers!

Brian Goessling

[Paul]

The $20 was the shipping rate, final cost was $55 shipped from the UK.  That said, I think the expected shipping date for my order is sometime in April.

[Brian Goessling]

Mine is 35 dollars.

Brian Goessling

[Tye Scott]

Can you post a link to where you bought yours Brian? Maybe we are getting a UK based link

[Brian Goessling]

http://piregistration.element14.com/lvl5/raspl5US.html

Tell me if that link does not work, because it goes through a link forwarder but that is where it ends up.

[Tye Scott]

second link worked for me. $35, I chose standard shipping, with no shipping price to be seen.

[Brian Goessling]

Nope. I confirmed with them however that there is no fee.

Brian Goessling

[Matthew Robbins]

I used the default shipping method, and my invoice (which came like 7 hours after the order) says I got charged $6.52 for freight.  This is worth a call to hassle them about it...

 

Matthew

[Brian Goessling]

Yes, I got that too, plus tax, with an estimated ship date of 06/13/2012. I guess I will contact them again...


Brian Goessling

[Brian Goessling]

Ok, it is a known issue. The 20 dollars charge is a known issue.. that should be repaid.   http://www.element14.com/community/docs/DOC-43273/l/for-newark-element14-customers-we-are-fixing-the-shipping-fee-error-on-raspberry-pi I used their LiveChat order support and he told me that he removed my 6.52 freight fee.

[Chris Davis]

Turns out they didn't cancel my original order, so I have 2 or 3 more Raspberry Pis for people. Craig you've got dibs on one if you still want it. With S&H they were $38 each.

I'll bring them in on Tuesday.

[Dave B.]

Dibs chrisdavis?  I should be down monday but im not sure ill be able to make it tues.
Dave B

[Jim]

claim

[Chris Davis]

Jim and Dave have dibs, one left if Craig doesn't want his.

Note these are bare boards - you'll need at least:

- A micro-usb cable to power it

- An SD card, at least 4GB (a 2GB card may work but will make it a pain at minimum)

- An SD card reader on a PC to image the card with the filesystem

- A composite or HDMI cable and compatible monitor. Composite works just fine but obviously HDMI is preferable.

- Bare bones USB keyboard and mouse. If your keyboard has multimedia keys it may be a problem - thanks Bill for figuring that out!

If you want to use any more USB devices outside the keyboard and mouse you will need an externally powered hub. My understanding is that the RPi does not have the fuses to protect the USB ports. There's at least one of these at the hive now.

[Craig]

Thanks Chris! I do want to play with one of these but I admit I don't have any time to do anything cool with it right now. I would rather see it go to a home where it will be put to good use.

[UDchemist]

Chris, did you ever find someone to buy it?

Thanks,

Tiffany

Sorry, yes - they went to people at that Tuesday meeting. 

Sounds like I should just put in an order for another 4, whenever they show up people will want one.

[UDchemist]

lol - thanks anyways!! yeah, they seem to be backordered everywhere!
