Arduino boards on amazon? Only if you don't mind paying five times the price.

You just get them from aliexpress in china, which is where most of these things are made these days anyway.

Five times $2 isn't much -- and sometimes I'm willing to pay to have something today: Not in 3-4 weeks. It's not like arduinos (or whatever) are something I'm burning through often enough to worry about a few extra dollars.

So yeah, I don't mind paying 5x.
