Questions & Comments

Help me out here, im certainly no techy' but i am one of guys who thinks " I more likely don't need it, but I want it any way " so what the heck is this? and how does it asscoiate in everday home computing life? hope that's not too much of a ?

The Raspberry Pi is a single board computer that fits in your palm. It was created as a cheap product to be used for teaching programming to kids.

Most people who buy one for their home use use it for a media center. There are several media center operating systems built to run on the RPi. Others with the know how use the RPi for controlling their home electronics, such as powering them on or off. others still with more know how use them for many advanced projects such as weather analysis, remote control cars, robotics, and more.

You can find out more by visiting the official site http://www.raspberrypi.org/ and their forums http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/

You can also search Raspberry Pi on YouTube to find some great projects that are being thought up.

My uses for a Raspberry Pi:
development web server
xbmc media center
minecraft pi edition server and client
thin client for easy and cheap work stations around the house
dlna server
more to come...

Most of all, teaching my daughter on these with the above projects is really fun!

$1=1,000 period not the buying creds price who ever buys creds are morons just sell stuff i sold a eli manning rare rookie card for 111,111 creds

May 8th, 2013 at 5:50:03 AM PDT by

Nice sale! ;)

May 8th, 2013 at 6:57:35 AM PDT by

Here's my 2 cents. Anyone can buy Amazon $1 gift codes and sell them on here for upwards of 1000 credits (I'm not sure if this is some kind of secret, but I figured it out as soon as I started using the site). That makes the GIN = $45.00 in my book which is not expensive. But the whole point of Listia is to give your crap away to get stuff you want, so if you do that it's even cheaper (or possibly even free, if you are patient).

Anyway, I plan to bid. Thanks!

May 7th, 2013 at 2:45:37 PM PDT by

Thanks for your 2 cents! Good luck bidding!

Just so everyone knows...This is the last Pi I will be listing here for a while. I am currently working on a project to use the rest of the ones I have on. So you also know, the project involves setting up minecraft pi edition on my local network so we can play together and over the internet with friends. If anyone is interested in this kind of project, or maybe just wants to play minecraft pi edition in a shared world over the internet, feel free to hit me up with a private message. It may get wild with the option of using the api to control minecraft.

I'm also working on a desktop app to use to control a minecraft pi instance running on the local network. This app will probably be built with appjs or at least node and socket.io or something.

fanned and watching! Great auction!!!!

May 10th, 2013 at 7:11:26 PM PDT by

Thanks! :)

May 10th, 2013 at 8:10:42 PM PDT by

Honesltly I think people should leave the $$$ out. Listia is more of a bartering system based on the fact people will bid on an item based on what they perceive the value of it is and will normally get there credits listing an item in which other people bid with the same mentality. Listians have there own economics which is based on personal value rather then the skewed commercial value of things such as on eBay's site. It's hard for people to think of the fact that not that long ago project boards such as the Pi could cost between $225 - $500 a pop. I'm not even talking about 5 years ago either. So in that sense the GIN price makes perfect sense. I definitely fanned you on before and will surely be watching. Great auction and good luck.

May 9th, 2013 at 8:19:23 PM PDT by

Thanks for the props and for watching. Yeah, I don't understand what a lot of the people's problems are on here. My wife and I are getting free stuff with free shipping. We win our credits with auctions, and most of the stuff we auction off we got from thrift stores, or we had already. Listia is fun! I love the intensity of a last minute bid war. I love it even more when I win them! LOL

May 10th, 2013 at 4:50:52 AM PDT by

WANT.
Have wanted one since they were introduced.

May 9th, 2013 at 3:04:24 PM PDT by

I know that computer love. Good luck bidding!

May 10th, 2013 at 4:46:45 AM PDT by

So, is the next step in watchers past 10, 50? Boy, that one's gonna be tough to get ! :)

May 9th, 2013 at 8:52:38 AM PDT by

Yeah, I'd like to get 50....I see a lot of auctions with "100 watchers" in the title, so.....I guess you really have to advertise the need.

May 9th, 2013 at 10:30:30 AM PDT by

I cannot bid any longer, but I am still a fan and still watching.

Very cool item !

May 9th, 2013 at 5:40:12 AM PDT by

Sorry you can't bid, but thanks!

May 9th, 2013 at 8:24:46 AM PDT by

Just so everyone knows, I can't upload the pics of the new cables until tomorrow because I only have my cell phone to take the pics with. I do not get good lighting at night with this phone to take quality pics. I will take the pics first thing in the morning in the daylight. Sorry for the inconvenience.

May 8th, 2013 at 6:40:56 PM PDT by

How about this people minecraft pi

May 8th, 2013 at 5:59:38 PM PDT by

LOL....I was just playing that before I logged in here. My daughter is learning python at 9 and want to try out some more stuff now that she has been introduced in a fun way.

May 8th, 2013 at 6:24:37 PM PDT by

aww neat! I've read much about this device on many Linux Magazines. nice post!

May 8th, 2013 at 11:03:24 AM PDT by

Thank you very much!

May 8th, 2013 at 4:40:30 PM PDT by

Still watching ... :)

May 7th, 2013 at 9:49:01 PM PDT by

Great! Today I am adding an HDMI cable and an audio cable.

May 8th, 2013 at 5:51:19 AM PDT by

free shipping on canada okay on this one too?

May 1st, 2013 at 12:37:38 PM PDT by

Yes....I posted the auction from my phone and it gave me no option of choosing Canada specifically. I am updating the auction now. Thanks for coming back!

May 1st, 2013 at 2:20:04 PM PDT by

I'm not slamming it (or not meaning to. Just doing math.) These things are awesome, and as you said, it gives people a chance to *possibly* get them for free, which is also awesome. Honestly, I think you're doing something really cool by putting them up here. Buying these on here is definitely not for the "Pay for credits" person, but rather the "I have no cash so I yard sale my stuff on here" kind of Listian. It's a good auction, but I think the GIN is a bit steep, even with the cables, that are not particularly expensive either. I will be bidding.

May 7th, 2013 at 10:11:09 AM PDT by

I'm glad you cleared that up for me. I do admit that this is not an auction for the credit buyers. Unless they are only bidding. I also realize that the GIN is a LITTLE steep, but I only added the GIN in case someone thought it was worth it to bypass the bidders. Thanks also for giving me props! ;)

May 7th, 2013 at 5:20:33 PM PDT by

You realize, by conversion of $5/1500 credits, which is $1/300 credits, that makes this $35 piece of hardware $150, right?

May 7th, 2013 at 9:10:51 AM PDT by

Let's not forget the power cord, ethernet cable and I am soon to add an hdmi cable, av cables, and an audio jack. Do you also realize that many people are selling $1 items here on listia for up to 7000 credits and maybe more. It is up to the buyer (who may have gotten ALL of their credits freely or by selling their stuff, not by buying them) to decide if the item is worth it or not. Thanks for slamming my auction by the way.

May 7th, 2013 at 9:22:32 AM PDT by

I added the pics of the power cord and ethernet cable. Be on the lookout for more cable soon!

May 6th, 2013 at 3:28:14 PM PDT by

With 2 USB Ports & you need a mouse, do you just use the USB hub? Or the type of USB in one port to give you extra ports?

May 5th, 2013 at 10:17:38 AM PDT by

If you use a usb hub, you should use a powered one. That way you don't use too much power from the Pi. However, 2 usb ports are plenty for a mouse and keyboard.

May 5th, 2013 at 6:44:39 PM PDT by

Sounds like a lot of fun & cool to learn on, w/kids! You definitely need to have an SD card, though? Right?!

May 5th, 2013 at 10:09:28 AM PDT by

Yes. The sd card acts as the hard drive.

May 5th, 2013 at 6:42:24 PM PDT by

I will be adding the power cord and ethernet cable this evening. Thanks to all who are watching so far!

May 5th, 2013 at 8:33:14 AM PDT by

Whew! I have had a long day....I am sorry to say that I can't get the pics up tonight of the power cord and ethernet cable, but they are included as of now!

May 5th, 2013 at 6:41:49 PM PDT by

Also! Do you need the SD card for the OS or is one "built in?" Sorry not very familiar w/ this at all! Seems great for a child to learn and explore with? What would be the "advantage" of using it just for media?

May 5th, 2013 at 6:45:16 AM PDT by

The OS can be downloaded from the internet and there are instructions on installing it to an sd card here http://elinux.org/RPi_Easy_SD_Card_Setup. These are awesome for kids and grownups alike to learn with. I am learning python with my 9 yr old daughter with minecraft pi edition, which comes free with an api to play with. an advantage of using it for just media purposes is that the OSes built for it are built FOR it. Most of them come with many features and the best one is playing media from any source that can stream media. Not to mention being the Pi can play full 1080p video and can be controlled with your tv's cec remote control through hdmi.

May 5th, 2013 at 8:32:08 AM PDT by

Hi! Nice auction! Is this model a or b? On the app, and not sure. Does it come with the SD card (pre-loaded) just wondering if it has one or 2 USB ports & what type of keyboard do you use? Are there a lot of keyboards that won't "work with it?" Thanks!! Watching

May 5th, 2013 at 6:42:26 AM PDT by

Thanks! This is a model b as the title says. There is no sd card included. I use any usb keyboard and have found none that don't work. There are 2 usb ports on this model.

May 5th, 2013 at 8:26:15 AM PDT by

Oh wow ... Fan'd and watching ( #13 ) this one - I hear these are pretty cool ... :)

May 4th, 2013 at 7:33:47 PM PDT by

They are indeed! Thanks and I fanned ya back.

May 4th, 2013 at 9:31:44 PM PDT by

if i gin this, would you add the accesories? or some?

May 3rd, 2013 at 5:02:21 AM PDT by

I guess I should specify that in the listing. If you gin before any accessories are added to the auction, you will receive a power cord and an Ethernet cable. If you gin after accessories are added, you will receive everything added as well.
