Pimoroni limiting Raspberry Pi purchases to previous customers (twitter.com/pimoroni)

I hope this works. One problem is that it excludes new entrants to the hobby space, on a board which was primarily designed to help children and teens learn about computers.

I’m sure Pimoroni carefully considered this. Thee gear is certainly made with a lot of thought. We live in weird times.


So, all for helping customers get their hands on the Pi, but one valid question: I want to build a cluster of 8GB Pi 4s... probably minimum of 5, but ideally 8 or 9... How do I get my hands on that many?! Most places limit you to 1 or now, you to be a previous customer... This is not "business" related, directly, but its something that would help in $DayJob (VMWare Cluster, Kubernetes, Beowulf Cluster... etc). So, how do you buy that many?
