Well, it's one of the few companies still doing physical store retail of electronic components. On Sun, Sep 17, 2017 at 9:10 PM, Glenn Roberts via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

And last time I was in the Vienna (VA) store they actually had them in stock! (bought one, but they were $10 then!) - so often the shelves are bare.

MicroCenter seems to want to compete with AdaFruit and SparkFun but the way they display their electronic stuff is horrible - just a hodgepodge of stuff on shelves and pegboard. Very hard to find anything. Pretty much a linear search.

Nice to have a local source but wish they were better organized!

microcenter has a sale until 10/1. This seems to be part of it: $5 Raspberry Pi Zero Wireless (usually $10, limit 1 per person per day) SKU: 240424
