You're lucky you got that far, farnell won't even take my connection!

I'v been spamming the refresh button for half an hour. It's terribly organized anyway

Yeah it's pretty stupid alright; the other place doesn't even have a link to buy it

They should have just taken pre-orders :mad:

I have one in my farnell checkout but the price has gone to 60 quid. What is that about.

Doesn't matter now, it was crashed so long that my session expired

Are you sure you don't have 2?

If snot, that is bad form from farnell.

the time vortex happened again

This is madness.
Was it organised by brain dead monkeys or what.

Back to the €40 order for me again...
Doesn't look like we'll be getting ahold of them anyway

rs-online.com have sold 0 Rasp Pi's apparently.
Someone rang them.

Are you sure they're sold out on farnell?

About an hour ago when I first got on, it said awaiting delivery, 30 days.

So that was probably like that from the beginning.

Managed to order one anyways.

Now they want 108 quid.

I got one from farnell.
39.20 euro inc delivery.

Edit:
Estimated delivery on 12th March. More stock in 30 days.

Same here, just got my 3rd e-mail which has the PDF of the order attached, which says stock allocated.

Now I wonder if that means we bought one of the 10K, or are we on some pre-order list.

They did tweet that they farnell were sold out "apparently" after a half an hour but I'm not sure what the story is.

Getting a little bit pissed off now. Site still not loading

Well according to the latest tweet, we'll have a second chance of buying from RS at the end of the week.

Not quite the launch the team were expecting on RS!

That's pathetic though.
I was on the checkout ready to click confirm order when the thing first went down. by the time it came back up the cart was empty.

A gun in the other hand would be more apt!

Really badly organised if you ask me. I know its the partner sites that are having the problems and not the Rasp Pi foundation itself, but if I was selling something as crazy popular as this I'd have wanted load tests done on the server before I pick a partner to prove they could handle the massive increase in bandwidth over such a short period of time.

Might grab a coffee now as I had less than my usual 4 hours sleep last night

Why the hell does my order keep going from €40 to €120?

Page timing out and you reloading which is adding multiple boards to the order?
Happened to me earlier.
I really wasn't happy putting my cred card details in to be honest as the site was so shaky. But I really wanted that board :rolleyes:
