Deal Details
Not a sale but the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is in stock on Chicago Electronic Distributors (one of Raspberry Pi approved resellers). Shipping isn't free but it beats buying a whole kit to get the board! Happy tinkering!

I was at Microcenter picking something else up a few weeks ago, and on a whim asked if they any of these. Had no problem getting one for $15 (limit one at that price), but maybe I just got lucky. Haven't set it up yet, I have a few Pi Ws running various home automation stuff -- I've found you can never have too many rPIs!

UPDATE:

Since I needed to go to Microcenter to pickup my free SSD Drive [microcenter.com], I decided to see if I could grab an extra Pi W 2 (in part so I could go to the faster Online Order desk rather than wait in the usually long general line). I was able to reserve one online for $14.99, they had 25+ available at my store (Michigan)

Dang. Never got an alert from Chicago Electric and clicked as soon as I got the Slickdeals alert. Still missed it.

Limit one. 27 left. Shipping was $5.92 for me. Too expensive on the shipping.

But 27 people will get lucky I guess.
It is sold out everywhere and $35 on eBay.
I bought from Adafruit in the past and $5.92 is comparable or probably less than what Adafruit charges.

If you're looking for something similarly priced that can run Linux like the Pi Zero W 2, there's not much out there at the moment, the Pi Zero W 1 is still a good value if you can find it at MSRP ($10). If you're just looking for an IoT microcontroller, the ESP32 is the best value in my opinion, about $6-7/board if you buy like 3 on Amazon
Thank you+rep.

Already have the basics - keyboard, mouse, monitor, microSD card - to use with it. Any recommendations for what else I should consider ordering from the store since I will be paying for shipping anyway?
The HDMI connector on the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is smaller than a normal HDMI connector. So you'll likely need a mini-HDMI to HDMI adapter.

Unless your mouse and/or keyboard are Bluetooth, you'll likely need a USB hub to connect both up to the board at the same time. And since the USB port on the Pi is a micro USB instead of USB C or USB A, you'll likely need a particular OTG cable or adapter to get anything USB connected to the Pi.

Lastly, consider getting a good power supply. You could try using whatever micro USB phone charger you already have laying around, but a lot of times those really don't provide enough power to run the Pi completely stable. If you run your Pi with a weak power supply, there is a chance of corrupting you microSD card and maybe even bricking the microSD when that happens.

Nice find. I can't justify the outrageous shipping fee they charged. First class package is $6.29 when the real cost is less than $1

I'm sure they think this board is more than 3 lbs
Bought from Digi key and was able to have them ship it for 4 bucks

They offered some kind of US Postal mail shipping service if it weighed less than a pound, and I bought 2 of the last 3 they had in stock a week ago.

It's more about finding them in stock, rather than a discount from the normal price.
