I looked at a bunch of the other parts that seller has listed. It's the first time in awhile that it's been actually PAINFUL to look at someone's pricing at an 'Ebay Store.' Atrociously priced DTL chips; 19.95 each, with 25 available. The guy is either getting free listings from eBay, or is engaged in a big tax writeoff for the loss he's about to take in listing fees.
