Hi GG.
Thanks for the linky.
The gentle readers might find this to be somewhat interesting;
The above from the Wikipedia Article.On 16 April 2012 reports started to appear from the first buyers who had received their Raspberry Pi.[49][50] As of 22 May 2012 over 20,000 units have been shipped.[51] On 16 July 2012 it was announced that 4000 units are being manufactured per day.

25$, 35$ ... now $42. Inflation or demand?"A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.”

$25 is for the Model A, $35 is for the Model B.Originally posted by GreyGeek View Post
Both prices are exclusive of sales tax (or V.A.T., as we call it in the UK), which stands at 20% right now, so $7 VAT is exactly what I'd expect to see on a $35 purchase.sigpic "Let us think the unthinkable, let us do the undoable, let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all." -- Douglas Adams Comment

Model A was ment to be $25, model B was $35 and initial shipments where of model B only, not sure whats happened to A. The prices have also always excluded taxes as far as I am aware.Originally posted by GreyGeek View PostComment

Having said that, sales to customers outside the EU *should* be exempt from VAT...

VAT isn't charged to non-EU purchasers.Windows no longer obstructs my view.
