Can I preorder a Raspberry Pi 3 B and when?

Be positive? I was asking a question, not expressing an opinion or making a comment.

We don't take pre-orders and as to when that will depend on the supply chain. We will have them in the store when we have them on our shelves.

http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/83-17300 will let you pre-order for $35.00 before shipping.

Go ahead and order from them. As Bill said, we don't do pre-orders.

Actually, I preferred doing business with the lady who got in trouble in college for "electronic art".
She knows what I mean.

Wow! And you guys complain about Adafruit's shipping?

Thanks, but no thanks. I'll stick with Adafruit.

I never complained about Adafruit shipping. I bought a Pi 2 and a Pi Zero. I think they worked Thanksgiving weekend to ship the Pi Zero. I think a business that was started in a dorm room at MIT without any outside funding is worth supporting.

I wasn't complaining about shipping either. I was saying that the price was $35.00, shipping not included. Readers could then do a fair comparison to Adafruit's price, which also doesn't include shipping. Who's complaining?

Who's complaining?

What, are you kidding? Everyday somebody starts a thread complaining about shipping prices. Nobody mentioned anyone here by name, just a general statement that Adafruit's charges are low compared to others.
