    So... can you buy RPI and colo for me? I can pay setup fees. You help me to buy in UK and I am the owner. I am the OP that looking for RPI colo and I see that Int'l shipping fees in China is worth half a RPI 2. So expensive.

    @MSPNick - Supply me a RPI, and i may pay a onetime fee for it :-P

    Yes I can do that. But once you've finished up I'll have to tell you shipping fees back to China.

    Or you can add an offer to buy the RPI's for at a discounted price and offer to another client. Win-win-win! :)

    Or donate them to a local school/computer club if they're fully paid for and still in working order.

    That would actually be a pretty cool promo, for x amount of pi's rented/colocated, one is donated to a local school.

    That's OK, ship to China is much easier than ship from China. Tell me the price.

    On RS-Online, a RPI 2 is 230 CNY. I don't know the price in EU.

    But I see that in this way I have to pay for the RPI's VAT indirectly.

    @XIAOSpider97 said:

    For your question, RPI is £24.90 on RPI EU.

    http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/processor-microcontroller-development-kits/832-6274/

    The VAT is £4.98.

    So £30/unit pretty much

    Any equipments (except SD card) needed?

    Also tell me the price of bitg 8/16GB SD card, I think it will include VAT...

    So I need to pay VAT for hardwares (because the buyer is in EU) and don't need to pay VAT for colo fees.

    I'm ready to pay anytime.

    Check this, 32GB for £13.. You can't beat that.

    So total is 41.88 GBP and I will pre-pay 1 month colo fee, the GRAND TOTAL is 44.38 GBP.

    Give me a link to order.

    Chinese like to pay for bills on the 1st or every month... the prepaid colo fee is for March.

    I guess we can attach an external USB HDD to the RPI and colo it to use it as a storage server or maybe add two drives for redundancy ?
    Sorry if its a silly idea, just asking. Total noob when it comes to RPI.

    At that point you'll probably get more bang for the buck with a different solution.

    I agree the pricing is great however I still find it hard to trust them after they lost two cards I paid for and refused a refund and blamed royal mail, once sure, twice meh.

    i find they are usually good for that sorta stuff, especially when you buy via ebay as the star system applies and can hurt a seller a lot.

    £2.50 :-)

  • JustJonJustJon Member

    Thats great, i am not entirely sure of your setup but do you prefer the Pi's in cases or just bare, do i need to send power cable or just the pi and sd card? also would there be any additional charge for an attached usb memory stick?

    Thanks for getting back to me,
