content: I've been building another Raspberry Pi 3 mountain under my desk, was up till 4am working through the pile and there are now plenty tested and ready to sell.All of them are customer returns for the same old reasons...1) No HDMI output2) Does not boot up3) WiFi not working4) Bluetooth not working5) USB not working6) Stuck in VGA mode7) Snapped PSU connector offThe ones with fault 1 and 2 are usually cured by using a micro SD card that isn't cracked across the middle and actually has a valid bootable image on it. Seriously, 50% of these things are returned because of faulty SD cards. The other faults tend to be real, I've already sold all those.So I'm selling the ones that are tested to boot ok with working HDMI, USB, WiFi and Bluetooth. I don't test ethernet or GPIO, but remember 50% are returned because of SD card issues so have never had Mr Clumsy plugging stuff into them to damage them.Original boxes, boards are in nice thick brown paper bags and an instruction sheet included, just like new.Prices are:1 off can't be arsed, takes ages to pack and ship and postage ends up being far too expensive.2 off £30 to try and put you off5 off £6010 off £120 (no quantity discount, these are already bloody cheap at £12 each)UK shipping is £2.50 extra, sensible EU countries £7.50 extra. I'll ship anywhere else if you pay the extra shipping cost.I've got a pile of Raspberry Pi V2 cameras as well. When I figure out how to test them I'll put them up for sale, or if you buy some Pi's you can add an untested camera for an extra £5. Oh and I seem to have accumulated quite a few 16GB Integral/Sandisk cards that are fine once the original contents have been wiped, you can add 1 of those for an extra £2.50. Only one camera and/or card per order, I don't have many.

content: Will have to pay attention again in the new year and I'll take another five, possibly ten in January if you get round to testing more by then.

content: Mine arrived today. Thanks. Only checked one but I have no doubt all 5 are fine.The untested camera module seems fine too. Could the "defect" just be the bit of screen protector that was covering the lens?

content: Found a few more under the tree while I was fiddling with my baubles.Yes I had a look at the cameras and most of them show no sign of the connecting cable ever having being pushed into a connector. No idea what the story behind them is. I might have to try and test them before I give perfectly fine working ones away cheap...!
