The Life of Pi: Ten Years of Raspberry Pi

These days it's impossible to find Pis in any of the online stores at their original prices. Vendors who do have any stock are charging 5X.

I've been looking for a Zero WH (Zero W with headers), and for the life of me can't find any in stock anywhere.

Edit: not sure they track the WH variant though

Get it w/o headers, and solder them; A half an hour job for a trembling hand.

Since you seem to only need one board, I don't see how this is an issue.

Or I guarantee someone near you is capable to do the soldering for you. Indeed, if I was designing a soldering practice exercise for someone’s 5th minute ever holding an iron, putting headers on a Pi would be a good one.

Soldering thru hole components is charged by the pin by the fabs. Header might be adding almost $1 to the BOM.
