In my initial request to them, he said he would consider making a deal on a large quantity, but when I pressed him for a price, similar to the answer Mark Capps got, it's not going to happen. See my last email exchange with him below. Sorry, I tried.

>Joe,
>From our experience, I believe, on average, this part brings in twice our
starting price through individual auctions, as cornerstone parts in
assortments and by drawing business to other related items. They are very
popular though scarce and the incentive to make a short term wholesale
profit at the expense of long term retail sales just isn't there.
You may know of Midwest-Analog. I watched them for several years, and even
referenced their book dedicated to applications of the 566 in our listings.
They used to sell their 566's for $6 each but when they ran out a couple of
years ago, they never got anymore. That undoubtedly killed sales of their
book and all their products using the part. I figure if they could have
bought them at $6 for resale at cost, they would have done it just to
sustain sales of their 566 based products.
Once they're gone, they're gone.
