[Wanted] Raspberry Pi Zero

[stoffelsdutoit]

I've been waiting and looking all over for one of these but they're impossible to find. If anyone has one that they're willing to part with, please let me know.

I need it for a project I want to do, but can't and it's making me sad.

Please make me happy?

Thanks!

As far as I can tell there aren't any in SA. Not even RS has them - they have the new Pi 3 B though.

Haven't seen them anywhere localy, considering ordering one from adafruit.

Was going to suggest Pimoroni.com, but they have no stock at the moment either.

Mine still worked out to about R185 (Pi Zero + Adaptors) including shipping, but that was before Zuma stuffed up the exchange rate

How much was the shipping with Pimoroni? Adafruit has stock of the pi with adapters etc for $29, but the shipping is $37!

I emailed RS and they said that they're not planning on stocking the Zero

Was 4 Pounds. Was more than I remember. But included the accessories kit.

The Pi Zero? Is that the original one that was released a few years back?

Pi Zero was released last year. Stripped down $5 version.

Did they give any reason as to why this is though?

Their reply: Globally, RS will not be stocking the Raspberry Pi Zero. Check out our NEW Raspberry Pi 2 bundles and keep an eye out for new developments this year.

From the Raspberry pi site RS isn't a partner, so the fault might lie with Raspberry pi foundation rather than RS, but still, it's pretty lame.

They were available locally for a very very short time. I managed to get one from the PiFactory.

hmm, that's rather unfortunate :/ Was hoping it was more a matter of not bringing them in just yet...

OK, well I have one of the very first ones released.
