ok reached out to the rep for another Pi deal. Not the cheapest from LITB box but still best price atm.
200 pcs only.
apply coupon 6118420DEAL to bring the price from $54.99 to $30USD.
Thanks OP
This is not the newer, slightly faster Raspberry Pi 3B+.
Still very usable unless you require 5Ghz wireless.
Can you get them to do a deal on the raspi 3 B+
RPI reckon they will be making both as some companies use them for embedded controllers, so faster clock and AC wireless they might need to tweak code with new ones, they reckon will be same price for old and new.
so,yes we should be seeing deals on the B+ at the same price once they start making enough in china.
they must be getting close to a pi4 soon eg usb 3 and a sata connector.
Nope, not for a few years:

"I think it's inevitable that for the next board we'll have to have some other chipset. You can safely say by 2021 we'll likely be shipping a Pi 4, and that's conservative I hope." -Eben Upton
How long was shipping for those who brought one last time?
Still waiting on one that does 4K comfortably
How do I power this thing?
You need to sing to it
Honest question…
There will be new 3B+ coming up
It's already here. I ordered one from element14 on Thursday at 1am. It arrived today. $50.60 delivered. That's $10.95 extra for the latest model and 1-2 day shipping.
I've ordered one at 5am on Thursday for pickup .. still waiting :)
element 14 sent email …. no australian stock expected delivery 9th of april …. so bought from little bird for $54 and they do have stock.
element 14 and $50 …. they are $49,95 plus gst at checkout so $54.95 ….. are people checking final price , adds gst right at the end….. check final bill.

Phew, glad I pulled the trigger then! They showed both local and overseas stock. The local stock was in the 4 digits on Thursday. They sent the "Available to buy today!" email on Wednesday. I guess lots of people want one!

$46.00 + $4.60 gst, free next-day shipping = $50.60 total.
unless you had it delivered outside of Australia you'll find that you didn't pay that price at all. GST is not shown until the final page. It is definitely charged though

This is what my card statement shows:
16 Mar 2018 ELEMENT14 PTY LIMITED SYDNEY AU -$50.60
The invoice shows the Pi3 B+ cost $46.00 and GST was $4.60.
What are these things good for?
Eating.
you can put them in Evil Corp's air-conditioning to destroy all their data.
don't you mean… Steel Mountain? :)
oh yeah … summit like that
you can add moniror and keyboard and let little kids use it as a linux PC , if they stuff up the software just reflash the micro sd card.
or
you can write you own software and use it to control or do things …… some people,use them as little servers for home automation.
it’s for techno tinkerers , smaller, cheaper , and quieter than a PC.
impress tha ladies with your tech prowess
Legit question, can I run XP on this?
If I can throw one of these under my TV and run stuff like the 3D GTA trilogy, Duke 3D, Quake 3, and some other pretty light games from 2004 and earlier, I would snap it up at this price.
nah m8 its an arm cpu
you can try chocolate duke, wolf3d and doom though

Has anyone received a cancellation email on this order? This doesn't sound right.
Dear Customer,
This is the customer service from lightinthebox.com. We have received your package back due to customs clearance issue. We would like to help you solve this problem with our greatest effort.
We'd like to help you out and offer two solutions:
1. We can try to reship the package with another shipping company but it takes another 1-1.5 month for transportation, please advise whether you are willing to wait for the parcel.
I did, but i don't think its a cancellation, i asked what is the reason for custom return but they said nfi.
anyway I have asked for reship. will see how that goes.
Nice, thank you.
