Is the Raspberry Pi real at that price?
I can't help but think when you sell 10K pieces of an item at bargain basement prices, (and in a single day), and in advance of having the products, that there may be something very wrong.
They have entered into licensed manufacture partnerships with two British companies, Premier Farnell and RS Components. That means there has to be a dealer margin. If you can retail it at $25, then how much did it cost wholesale?
I may be barking up the wrong tree, but am I one of the few sensing something may be very wrong with this deal?
Have a look at what Tsvetan from Olimex said in a forum thread about it here:
Anyone have insider information that what I am saying is completely off the mark? Comments?
Of course, If I am off the mark, this will be more free advertising for them. :-)
