Hello Community!
Every year, before we count our inventory, we try to clean up the warehouse from items that sell slowly, have been discontinued, or that we can’t make anymore due to component availability (a big issue this year). This year we’ve got about $75,000 of inventory to sell at a 25-75% discount. Each product has its own story but they’re all fully functional and useful in a number of applications. Some have been replaced with newer versions — sometimes without much improvement and certainly not enough to label them obsolete!
Below, I’ve tried to point out what I think is special about some of these components. If you have a need for our entire inventory of any of these parts, we can make a deal outside of our online store. For example, if a school district (or a state) is interested in the micro:bit v1.5 modules, we’ll make a deal!
Please don’t let our sale cause concern that your favorites might also be discontinued in the future. Such products are part of core existence and the ones you rely on for your own business or educational program. These include BASIC Stamps, our robot kits, Propeller 1 and 2 chips and modules, and the many sensors we manufacture in Rocklin, California. For example, we still manufacture the BS1-IC, which was released in 1992.
Sincerely,
Ken Gracey

All of the stock quantities in the pictures above are what we had when this sale began. Quantities are limited to stock on hand, so once an item is sold out, there are no more!
