I make things. I make software, hardware, and softgoods. Because I have a full time job at a tech company and way too many hobbies, I try to automate everything that I have to do more than a few times a week. It's obvious that I usually use a Raspberry Pi to automate things and this is how this website was born.
This database was created out of frustration trying to locate a Raspberry Pi product in the height of the chip and supply chain shortages of 2021. I got tired of visiting multiple websites every day trying to figure out if there were any Raspberry Pi's in stock. I coded this website in a few days during my spare time and had it hosted on a Raspberry Pi for a couple of weeks before deciding to make it publicly available. It was moved to shared hosting provider for over two years but in January of 2025, it is again being hosted on a Raspberry Pi.
The good folks at Mythic Beasts have been kind enough to provide me with a free Raspberry Pi 4 8GB to host this website! If you would like to have your own Pi in the sky, check out their Raspberry Pi hosting.
Although they are not as hard to find nowadays, Raspberry Pi computers were almost impossible to come by without a notification system during the so-called "Pi Shortage". If you find this website useful, share with someone that might also find it useful. There is no share button, so you'll have to go old school and copy/paste the link.
You can buy me a coffee through the button below.

This website does not get any commission or kickbacks from any of the vendors featured here. While some of the links inform vendor that traffic came from rpilocator.com, none of the links that take you to vendor or product webpages send personal information.
I tried to include all of the obvious vendors that carry Raspberry Pi products, but not all web stores allow a script (robot) to get information from their website. As you can imagine, I don't update this website manually every few minutes or so :). All the heavy lifting is done by scanning the product pages and updating the database this website runs on. If there is an authorized reseller that is missing (and is also not listed below) and you would like it to be added, send me an email or message me on BlueSky.
I've tried to add the vendors below without success:
I made a decision at the beginning of the site that I was not going to track kits. I do this for a couple of reasons:
I'm not a hypocrite so I'm not against bots. If you are looking to create a notification system for personal use, please use the RSS feed and don't hit the site more than once a minute. High frequency bots will get blocked. Feel free to ge in touch with me if you want to use the data on this site. Business/commercial use is not allowed.
