If you really want one remember if you buy these from 'touts' on
e-bay the next nice toy you want will be sold to you at a premium in
the same way.

Bought my current computer on eBay.. from a business seller who is
also reviewed regularly by Computer Shopper.  There are sellers to be
wary of, but I think with common sense they can be avoided :)

I agree,   i think tom may have been referring to people selling a
raspPI for over £100, in fact one has buy it now for £220,  not bad
markup for a £16 computer

The Buy it now is dropping already - the lastest one is "only" £130..

Now if one were to come up for under £100 in Devon I really would be tempted... Sure, someone is going to make a nice little profit, but it's a free market... My oder didn't get through until 12 hours after the gates openend - I'm not going to see mine for 4-6 weeks at the very soonest, so would I pay £100 more for something I could have today? Absolutely.
