Hi All,

Is there anywhere to buy raspberry pi zero W without getting ripped? I was about to buy from banggood for $30 but luckily realised it was the non WiFi model. I've been looking for a while now and can't find anything. I need the Pi Zero for its low power consumption with a battery/solar powered installation.

  I got mine from core-electronics for $17.95 + $3 Delivery.

  Update: Showing as 200 units can dispatch between Sep 6 to Sep 30, but can't add to cart as it out of stock.

    That's where I got them previously but they've been out of stock for the last several months (Can't remember when exactly I started looking). There was a post here that they were in stock in July but it went out of stock in hours.

      I purchased mine last month (6th August), so it appears they are adding small amount of stock regularly. Best to check the site regularly.

        Thanks, that is good news. I have been checking them pretty regularly. I signed up to be notified when stock comes in but not sure if that works.

        Actually now it says "Available with a lead time 200 units can dispatch between Sep 6 to Sep 30" but won't let me purchase

  Hey mate, the Zero WH is back in stock if you're okay to pay $8 extra.

    Thanks, I hadn't noticed that, I've ordered one. I've always thought it was a bit pricey for the addition of a header but I'm happy to pay it seeing how hard they are to get.

    Interesting that I just happen to post this question right when they were back in stock. They disappeared pretty quick once you posted the deal 🙂
