I just (10 mins ago) ordered one from Pimoroni. 6.50GBP including the cheapest domestic shipping option. That's 8.14USD.

There's no way to save on shipping by buying multiple units, as the limit is 1 per customer.

I'm guessing shipping (the padded bag plus postage) costs them about 80p, so in reality I paid about $7, not $5. About $1 of that is tax.

But no WiFi - that's the big difference here imo.

just out of curiosity: where would I be able to get one? they seem to be perpetually out of stock (at the $5 price point).
