Hard case for PicoCalc

I like this as I can put this in my flight bag and not worry about a soft case allowing damage.

Over $700 is a bit rich for my blood. :roll_eyes:

Am I missing something :-). $700 ?

Only $7.68 each

No. I go there and get $720 (down from $1,000). My currency is set correctly on the page.

At the checkout, the total is $771.93.

The tariff is only $43.20, so that’s not the problem.

But they have a related item for $8.83.

There’s a reason I don’t buy from AliExpress anymore.

Wow, interesting. I purchased 6 of these for other equipment in my lab.

I am based in Canada and don’t have the tariff war that the US is engaged in. And not had a problem YET with aliexpress.

Here is the screen shot that I get, looks like it went up in price in the last 2 hours!

Guess I’ll finance it LOL

I find that absolutely bizarre! What is the possible reason,

-software glitch based on locale?

-Actual cost due some type of government interference due to retaliation?

I have not had a problem like that ever, and I have purchased things such as low coersitiviy mag tape to make memory cards and mag strips for computers.

Tell you what, I will purchase 100 and sell them at 600 as a favour :zany_face:

Aside from all this, it is an excellent case if you can get it for the cheap price! A tip, the latches are very secure. I sand the contact points to make it easier to open and close.

Not only that estimated delivery is in September :exploding_head: I almost thought for a second that ClockworkPi was the shipper :toosoon?:

It really is bizarre as I have ordered in the last three weeks, four mediums and six large and in both cases, they were the low price and delivered within seven days.

As I said, very bizarre

Cheers

But I love the case, they are really tough and with the foam very protective from movement inside the case.

That’s clearly a “I don’t want to sell to the US, go away” price, not an error.

That makes sense. A while ago, I tried to buy some Raspberry Pi Zero 2Ws, from Micro Center. :astonished_face:The first one was something like $10, but the second one was $9,999.99! The clerk, at first, thought that it was a mistake, but when he checked it out, it turned out that they did not want people to purchase more than one. :frowning:
