guess it depends on what chips youre looking for, you're probably are talking about higher end chips, which are out of my price range anyway, but for lower end chips, prices seem really low...for instance, chips that where selling for 60 to 100 bucks a few years ago are going dirt cheap, again, depends on the chip. I wanted to grab this last night, but computer froze as I was putting in a bid, chip sold last week for a bit under 50 bucks.
