Just got (4) P8X32A QuickStarts for $32.05 including tax! They were clearanced for $7.47 each. :cool:

P.S. -- The USB AB cable included is worth $5 by itself.

    I would be surprised if there were any left to be sold at $5 (or less).

    Hopefully you got the $10 off coupon also with their current promotion ($10 off next purchase with $30 purchase).

    $7.47 each! You can't buy them that cheap on EBay. I guess we should expect a lot of new Propeller users soon.

    Yup, Been that price for at least 3 months in a lot of markets.

    Well, a nice huge Clearance Sale really is not a bad thing. It puts a lot of product in the hands of a lot of new customers. It creates a lot of attention as to what the Propeller is and it seems like a good time to have people curious. They may find themselves really wanting a Propeller 2 before they know what happened.

    I just consider it all a warm up for what is about to unfold.

    Loopy,
    ...a nice huge Clearance Sale really is not a bad thing...
    Yep, but it seems to be the final clearance of RadioShack stock before they board up the shop.

    Nothing is about to unfold on that front. The future is with AdaFruit, SparkFun and so on.
