# This Raspberry Pi price tracker is shutting down next month because retailers blocked its bot

RPI Locator, a popular Raspberry Pi price tracking site, is shutting down in July after retailers began blocking its web scraping bots.

With Raspberry Pi prices having risen significantly, the closure makes finding good deals harder for hobbyists.
