@DonFnord

We had that question in a german section of this forum where @Incanus gave the feedback that mainboards never were sold stand alone.

However that statement is only true with respect to FP3 and 4.
Mention of FP1:

Can you build a fairphone 1 with all the spareparts from the shop?

Hi, I would like to know if somebody already ordered all spare parts and built the phone at home? Is it possible from the parts? If yes is it possible without any instructions? Thanks! Ralf

external reference of price 118,65 (I think FP1U MB)

Fairphone 2 hands-on: Modular phones are finally here

Thread for FP2 concludes availability after request ~320€ directly at FP. However it was combined with the frame/IMEI imprint

(Why) Was the Core module (n)ever available in the online shop?

Continuing the discussion from Can we build a Fairphone 2 by purchasing all its parts?: The core module never was available in the shop. At Fairphone they of course do have those modules. They just don’t sell it. As to why, I could just offer some guesswork, like every other user. if your core-module needs to be repaired, you have to return it to Fairphone. Edit (2018-04-02): I didn’t know, but he module is available
