And this might be the same guy that was trying to get $1500 before. Only if you can't get them new from a shop I figure...

Default What does the Euro have to do with it? They're AWE ICs...manufactured in the US...

Sounds like price gouging to me...

Your price gouging is my supply and demand.

Default Because AW keeps hyping them up as the ultimate ICs and people *must* have them.

That keeps demand high. AWE keeps supply low, so that keeps the price high.

That is the same price as AWE. I don't know what you are talking about.

Default There's always a shortage, and everyone here always hypes them as the best.

So, high demand and low supply equals high resale prices.
