Hi Joe (and list)!

When these chips were new (back in the '80's) I bought two for stock, they
cost me around $40 (about $35US at the time) that was the going rate...some
IC's are worth a little more than others...

As for the bottom feeders, a year or so ago, I bought a few obsolete CPU
IC's that were used in the Bally home pinball games, they cost me $50US
each and I thought I was getting a good deal as I was unable to get the
customers game running otherwise. This was from Graveyard Electronics, one
of the cheapest, in some cases, of the bottom feeders.
