    You have 2 prices there Allyall, I'm stupid so can you tell me how much?

    I'm going you order one, no idea what I will do with it but I'm sure I can become a programming genius thanks to you. Cheers mate. Bargain alerts, the ruination of all my savings plans.

    Sorry, the 38.99 should have been in US Dolla.

    So price is in Euro - €33.60 Delivered.

    Nice one. Good price.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,157 ✭✭✭✭Alanstrainor


    Good deal alright. Anyone with a Pi2, probably wont see much in the way of performance improvements, but built in wifi and bluetooth is a big plus!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,482 ✭✭✭Hollister11


    I have been looking to learn Python, so I splurged on this. Keep me busy during the summer and something for my portfolio when looking for an internship.

    Thanks OP. Nice find.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,766 ✭✭✭RossieMan


    Sent from Hong Kong, wonder is this an original?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 240 ✭✭Pizzle


    So tempted by this. Never used a Rasberry Pi before but something I've been meaning to play around with....

    i assume this will get stung by customs?

    so it may be cheaper to buy one from the EU


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,569 ✭✭✭Special Circumstances


    Did anyone get a tracking number that actual meant anything? What website did you enter the tracking number on?

    http://webtrack.dhlglobalmail.com


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,569 ✭✭✭Special Circumstances



    Thanks, tracking wasn't working at all from my eBay mobile app.

    DHL = usually good
    DHL from China/US = nasty surcharges for pre-payment of VAT or other liabilities. Ugh.

    Anyone get this yet, what did they sting you for?

    Interesting, Mine says it has been passed on to local postal carrier for delivery. However nothing on AnPost site yet.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,569 ✭✭✭Special Circumstances


    Not again... my delivery has disappeared into a black hole it seems - eBay can see it, and provide history as far as Ireland, but if I click through to the DHL site they have no record at all of it ever.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 240 ✭✭Pizzle


    Mine arrived in Dublin on Thursday apparently. So should be in Cork tomorrow/Wednesday I'm guessing.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,482 ✭✭✭Hollister11


    I ordered this, then cancelled and was refunded. After the cancellation it was shipped. The seller won't reply to me in eBay and I have my money. Should I reject this.

    If they cant be arsed replying just keep it. They cant charge you for it so you'll be grand.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 249 ✭✭Kai123


    Just bought one! The plan is to have remote surveillance via VPN.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,157 ✭✭✭✭Alanstrainor


    They're great as media centres. I have Kodi on my Pi2 which I use for movies all the time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,496 ✭✭✭quarryman

    I'll take it off your hands if you don't want it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,474 ✭✭✭✭Ghost Train


    Berry boot is great if you want to try multiple different setups and switch between then. Retro pi for games, kodi for media, arch linux desktop etc

    Really? 1080p blu-ray rips and everything with no stutter?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,028 ✭✭✭d31b0y


    I've never had any stutter with my pi 2 @ 1080p
    Best media device I've ever owned and I have bought a HTPC specificly for the job!

    Hi,

    How much time passed between your order and your cancellation?

    Thanks,
    O.D.

    An hour. He even said he cancelled it, refunded me then shipped it out.

    Alas, my internet is not good enough to test that but a quick google seems to be a resounding no for the pi2.

    EDIT: Pi 3 certainly seems capable of 1080p60 as a video format but there are supposedly issues with youtube playback at that rate because of the format youtube uses.

    Thought so. I have a Dell inspiron 3050 (that was actually on bargain alerts a while back) and even that struggles with youtube 1080p60
