The really sad part is that now the prices will probably be driven to at least
2-4 times they were before.  I wish I knew what to suggest, it is a crappy
situation all around.  Although the internet is a great communications medium
it also has its problems that nobody can expect.  I think we are all newbies
as it is a developing culture.
I really didn't mean to rain on everyones parade.

Actually, Quint is right : I just checked my source and the stock
is NOT AVAILABLE ANYMORE (although it was still available
last week when I forward my original offer to AH).
Anyway, if it's true, it really pisses me off to learn that someone
bought the stock the day after my original posting...

There are other stocks available, but the quote is so high (more
than 10 times the price I announced in my offer !) that it
becomes ridiculous...

So what's the conclusion to this thing ? I'm not sure...
Actually, I came across that quote for uA726 as I was
looking for other parts, and I thought it could be
interesting to run a group order through the lists...

It is clear that we've been acting as real newbies,
but was there any other way to run a group order ?
As a humble hobbyist, I wasn't going to invest $3000
before knowing exactly how many ppl would be interested,
and get stuck with 50 or more unsold chips...

Sorry for disapointing you folks... I'm sure these chips
will reappear on the market sooner or later, but the price
won't be the same...
