I think Rene's option to buy these chips has expired.
I recieved an email from the middleman in this deal, this morning.
He like Rene is going public with an offer to sell at ridiclous prices. He also will be using half truths in the quest of a sale.

Great harm can be done to the hobby when greedy people get involved.
I suggest anyone that is interested in this chip, waits for the November Gaming Times and reads the facts, not half truths, If it is published.

I have given a lot of thought this morning to pulling the article in November. I am sad that greedy people are using bits and pieces to drive the price up. My research was never meant for this purpose.

I can tell you that neither Rene nor the middle man, has the owner of said chips, permission to offer half truths for the purpose of a sale.
