I think it's a pretty fair price especially with the holiday pricing... Just the pi alone sans case, card, cables, power supply, wifi, keyboard w/ touchpad, speaker, etc. is $35 US. http://www.element14.com/community/community/raspberry-pi/raspberrypi2?ICID=rpimain-feature-products http://www.element14.com/community/community/raspberry-pi/ra...
