Free Raspberry Pi B+
« on: February 27, 2015, 09:29:35 PM »
I want to get the new pi2, so looking for a free home for my existing one.  I don't have a use for 2 of them and I don't want to just throw it away (or into a box to get forever lost), so if anyone has been wanting one to play with, it's this one:

I can't get a new one till I find a home for this one, so please help ;-)

While I would love to use it for both myself and the nonprofit makerspace I am helping to start, I'm all the way in Colorado. I'd pay for shipping if nobody close to you wants it though!

(My current personal Pi is an old model B)

Hey innkeeper, sorry for the delay, was waiting to talk to a buddy of mine that I thought might want it, but he already has pi's and arduino's collecting dust.  If you can use it, PM me your addy and I'll throw it in the mail.  Not worried about trying to exchange $2 for shipping, I'm glad I don't have to throw away a perfectly good computer.

It's crazy how hard it is to give these things away, and they're so awesome.  I work with a team of developers and none of them even wanted it...

If innkeeper falls through, I am interested for my son. He would love to play with it, with H's help.

Sorry, I didn't see this post until today! I'd send it to mayday, it sounds like he has a more deserving use for it.

Sorry for the delay, was on vacation, and needing to get the pi2 in before I can part with this one, but looks like they're on backorder.  I set up an alert to let me know when it's available and will reply again to see who's still interested.

Hey, this is awesome. Thanks OP for giving it to someone who will use it.

I'll probably end up buying a handful at some point...

Sorry for delay, finally got the Pi2.  innkeeper77, if you still want it it's yours.  If not I have someone that PM'd me shortly after you responded that gets second dibs.  After that MayDay and on down the line.

I also have a spare 8gb microSD card I don't need that I'll put in it.
