## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this just the board? If so.. Why $40 when it's only $10 on the rasp site**
A: the person selling it at $40 is only doing so because they can. I am selling (along with others) at a much more reasonable $15.

**Q: Is the price of this supposed to be a joke?**
A: YES , I paid $24 for the first Pi0w I bought in 2017.  The whole point of the Zero is that its $5/$10 (with wifi), supposed to be affordable for anyone.  Amazon has THE WORST pricing when it comes to the Raspberry Pi.  It really depends on where you buy it but if the price is low they usually make up for the difference in the shipping like Adafruit.  I'd never buy anything from them.  Amazon is great for accessories and microcontrollers , if your lucky enough to live near a Microcenter they have the BEST prices and you can order it like Pizza and pick it up within 20 minutes.  The Pi0w is $10 and $13 with headers, they also have the regular Pi Zero which is always $5 unless you want more than one, then they get more expensive.  Which is stupid but understandable from an inventory standpoint.

**Q: Why are you gouging price on this?  I get selling for a little over cost, but double?**
A: because money makes people stupid; and to StPetePaul: actually in many states it Illegal to sell a new/never used product over 30% above the MSRP and can be grounds for fines from the customer's local state department of consumer affairs.
supply and demand is not grounds for hiking prices on items that can be restocked, nor is "cost of my time" for a commercially available product that requires no special handling or processing.
the price hike must be justified either by operating costs in the NORMAL operations of the business (rent, wages, cost of the next restock of said items) or by the manufacturer raise the base prices of those products themselves.
google "price gouging laws" and your home location for specific laws regarding this as they vary state by state but generally anything over 25-30% of MSRP is grounds for a price gouging complaint and pursuant initial investigation.

**Q: Amazon, how does it feel to be a scalper?**
A: If you take into consideration the cost of shipping, no one sells this for the $5 or $10 mark. Try anywhere on the Internet for an actual Pi Zero W and you won’t find it much cheaper. Not defending Amazon but I’ve looked.
