Sooo.. Want a RRP ~$130 #RaspberryPi device in Australia for your kid to learn electronics?

Well you're shit outta luck unless you'd like to pay double or more than $RRP for a 'Kit'

"Hey wait, Raspberry Pi's aren't sold as Kits from raspberrypi.com !! Hey hang on .."

(You are correct, no, they don't)

"..Oh but 'Covid' ..oh but 'Chip Shortage' 'Oh but...' my arse.

These Sleazy as f--k people at #CoreELectronics #PiAustralia ... ( just #LittleBirdElectronics with different CSS who does the same) all do it. They only want your money, when you're prepared to pay double or more than the RRP, so they can move some additional cheap Chinese plastic crap accessories.

They ar clearly refusing to sell you stock they clearly have, citing they're out of stock,
..BUT ..

You can get one if you purchase one of our 'kits'..

I'm sure the #ACCC has rules for this, but despite the strong fecal odor, it looks like the Electronics Suppliers online version of Bait'n'Switch to me.
