It reads " the final cost probably came at about $100", which means including model B+, shipping cost and everything.

- icebraining 11y agoSorry. That said, it's still way too much. Adafruit sells the B+ with tax + shipping for $40.26. Adding up, it's still less than $60.
- yeukhon 11y ago1. Because it shows how much one have to spend for the more expensive model. 2. I don't not know Adafruit, but most people I know got their PI from one of the partners. If we got ripped off, that's a fault on RPF (https://www.raspberrypi.org/ https://www.raspberrypi.org/). I actually mixed up model B and model B+, I owned both. Model B is the more recent one is more expensive. But I got both when they first came out, so equally just ordering from the approved distributor the cost was pretty much the same. I am not going to argue cent by cent with you, the final bill for each setup came around $100, and at the time they were the cheapest and most reliable. Also, there have been many reports on which SD card is better for the model, so I didn't just pick a random cheapest SD card. Your mileage varies. Whether I got ripped off any $10, $20 or not, the end result is still the same. The overall cost is larger.

"Raspberry Pi Model B+" (renamed to "Raspberry Pi 1 Model B+", when Raspberry Pi 2 came out) is more recent than "Raspberry Pi (1) Model B": > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi
