<html><head></head><body><div style="font-family: Verdana;font-size: 12.0px;"><div>Hi, I have a quick question about the pricing, hopefully someone can answer…<br/>
Why are the authorized distributors selling these boards for higher-than-official price?<br/>
Minnowboard.org still shows $139 for dual-core and if I recall correctly, when the MAX was first announced, dual-core version was advertised for $129...

<div name="quoted-content">a first production run has already been shipped out to mouser and the pre-orders<br/>
should be handled first before stock is shown. a second production run starts on<br/>
wednesday, with production runs following every two weeks there after. based on<br/>
the number of pre-orders, it is probably going to take at least 2 or 3 weeks for<br/>
all pre-orders to be filled...<br/>
