Please can you ending the auction early please and I am sending you $500 by Westen Union.

Great news, and good luck with the auctions.

All I can say is =)

Very good, now take my money for a model B please ;)

Good luck with the auction!

Sounds like the testing is going well so far then :)! Wish I had the money to bid haha. Good luck all and Happy New Year.

I hope these make big money for the foundation. Have a great 2012!

Yay! Can’t wait for the auction, although I’ll probably end up waiting until the final release to get my hands on one :)

Also, does this mean the big red button of mass production has been pressed? *excited*

Not going to bid, but good luck for everyone who bids on them.

Anyway… Is that a Skyrim Map behind Eben?

I bid three sardine cans and an antique kipper.
Good luck to all our bidders.

What a great birthday present to me today! I’d love to have a 1 of 10, but I’m happy just knowing that the production units are coming!

Thank you, and Happy New Year to all of the RaspberryPi Team and followers!

Hey, it´s a great idea and I think that i try to buy one of them ;)

Good luck with the auctions, I’m looking forward to these going on general sale in 2012.

Happy New Year (soon)!

Do you ship to Nigeria? ;)

What price will they be starting at?

I can’t wait to see how high the bids go, very doubtful i’ll win one. I predict a low of $99 and a high of $175

i can buy on ebay italia?

(eBay’s Member name: “raspberry_pi” , was it arranged with them or just took chance?)
Seriously, what chance I have for my £500 max. I know someone’s $500 offer!

I just drooled all over my keyboard! Thanks for that! :)

I’ll be spectating at least one of the auctions. It would be interesting to see the compiled bidding trends after it’s all over. Something might prove interesting from it. Good luck with the auction. Cheers.

HHmmmmm…..
OK
New Years Parties + Alcohol + Geeks + Raspberry-Pi EBay auction = ???

What can possibly go wrong… ^_~ hehe!!

As long as there aren’t more than 10 people bidding, I think I’ll be alright.

I bet it will go over the 1000 USD! Anyway, hope 2012 will be THE year of Raspberry Pi!

Btw, I have problems submitting comments using Firefox9 on my iMac. Anyone else?
Safari seems to work fine though….

Ok, it seems that I need to do a full reload of this page before a new password gets generated. For some reason the old one was still shown.

I’ll be bidding. Although I have a hard spending limit so I will not likely win. Glad to see this is finally hapenening. Can’t wait for the final boards, I have several projects that these will work nicely for.

It cost $100,000 to boot this PC for 5 seconds.

This seller currently has no items for sale.

The Pi was a lie

“You’re the high bidder. ” That won’t last

Holy shit !! well there goes my £400 max bid

£1,000.00 at 22:23 !!!

Sorry to spam but it is rather exciting !! I

Wow! The £1000 mark! Well done rasp pi, you guys deserve it. Although I wish I could afford I am glad people out there are willing to help you out.

Keep up the good work!!!

£1000 adds a 0 to my bid.
Silly; Congrats to all @Pi

wow board #10 is currently at £1,120.00

Holy cow!!! £1200+ already….. way out of my price range, I sure hope you guys do more than 100 for your first run this is gonna sell quick!

£1,160.00
Happy new year….xD

I think first three or four of Raspberry Pi s will attract highest interest like they normally do anyway. However release of real thing in Feb will dampen the excitement a bit. For me, fight for Serial Number 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 is not over; YET!

So when all is set and done would the target of $25 for A and $35 for B be anywhere close to the actual goal? If you waiting for quotes from manufacturers I am guessing the TCO is far from expected, no?

The auction is claiming it only ships within the UK. This is preventing the listings to be visible on localized ebay sites. (ie. raspberry_pi “has no items for sale” on ebay.com / ebay.ca / etc).

Its cool to donate and also get some uniques pieces (#10 or #1 should get the most bids). One of our companies is bidding on that history-worth piece. We can’t wait to get the pieces for testing. if you need help finding a reliable but cheap manufacturer get in touch with me. we are a swiss based charity which supplies pc’s to 3rd world countries and has access to excellent contacts in china

There’s already over £2000 been raised for the Foundation, which is great news! I’m just going to wait out the ‘real thing’ coming onstream next month as they’ve already sped way beyond any bid I might have been able to make.

Hope you select a supplier soon! Welcome to 2012 folks, the year of the RasPi!

As expected, the first two boards are already well beond what I’m willing to pay. However, it appears you have them listed as shipping to the UK only so they don’t show up when searching from a us ebay account.

Just in case it hasn’t been said before: Congratulations on coming to this important milestone. I’ve been following the forums closely for months and even made a post or two. I can only say I’m deeply impressed by your dedication and openness. It must have been a tough time with lots of phone calls and long nights. Starting the auctions must mean that you feel confident to start mass-production soon, and that is a huge step forward.

Just as I expected, the money that is already in on the auctions is way above my league, but I’ll happily be first in line when you finally have the mass-produced ones.
Thank you for doing this. Happy 2012

Damn! They’re already getting REALLY expensive!

Cool. Can’t wait to get my hands on some. Don’t fear the Mayans. The End of the World is just the Beginning. Great things are coming.

I wish raspberry pi to erchieve a triumph

Just a thought… Should they be numbered 0 through 9?
