You still can't buy more than a single Pi Zero anywhere. Technically the Pi 3B is 7x more expensive. Edit: Looks like Farnell UK doesn't sell the Zero or Zero W, and any store that does is limiting themselves to 1 per customer.

  I could walk in to Microcenter right now and pick up basically as many as I wanted. I know everyone doesn't have a Microcenter within a few miles of them, but they've had them in stock continually since about three months after the release. It might be different in other countries, but I have to imagine that anyone in the US could get their hands on a Zero if they wanted one.

    Gosh - I thought microcenter went OOB in 1998 (at least in San Jose, Ca)

      Their design aesthetic kind of looks like they did, what with the weird grey stucco and the blue and white blocky font.

        In Texas, each microcenter has their own theme. It's actually pretty cool! One is a space station. Another is an oil field :-)

      Their Orange County/Tustin location is the only one left in California, apparently. I built my "graduation present" PC with parts from there in 2008. They've apparently got about 2 dozen locations around the country, along with the web store.

    > It might be different in other countries, but I have to imagine that anyone in the US could get their hands on a Zero if they wanted one. A zero, sure. But I want like 20, haha. Unfortunately my nearest Microcenter is 600 miles away. If I can't get 20 for $100, they're not really $5 each.

    At Microcenter, only the first one (per visit) is $5.00: 1 at $5.00 each, 2-5 at $9.99 each, 6+ at $12.99 each
