Johnathan,

How far into the shopping process ? My cart fills fine here. That is
regarding kernel concepts. Don'y they also do a card reader ?

Anyway, I tried loads of places within the UK, not much luck, then just
bought an Omnikey, but my pinpad never worked until somebody made a
patch. Seems to work fine now. Although 2.0.19 broke it I think or fixed
it. I cannot recall, which one broke and then which fixed it again. ;-D

Maybe you could contact a supplier and ask them how much they would
want, if they order one for you.
However, then they will charge you RRP as a bare minimum, probably more,
as you asked them for it.

Regards,

Tristan

P.S: Maybe choose another model ? Which is more widely available ?
