Ok I'm new to this whole pistar thing so please bare with me.
I'm running a Zum spot 3.5 screen with a pi zero (yes slower then molasses in January :shock: that I received from a fellow HAM and was reading and this whole zero 2 thing looks like a huge improvement! But I'm not long on funds after 4 years now on disability with back issues or steady hands, so i come to yall for advice and help.
Looking on eBay I see zero 2's in all price ranges but I'm very much a cheapest isn't always the best choice person. what's the average price for a decent Zero 2 (would prefer with pins already on... last one I tried to solder I almost killed) lol and if yall could send me some eBay links that would be even better. that way I can put some pennies aside and know how many I got to save.

No Soldering required. Their kits works very well. Fast and easy.
