[sdiy] Chip prices today and what about tomorrow?

[Senso]

As some of you know, finding chips is one of my activities; and not 
an unimportant one. In a bold mood I decided to make some inquiries 
in the industrial area, where oft considerable stashes of the DIL's 
we love so much are still available through brokers. Not an area for 
the shy, since you have to come up with serious orders, in order to 
do any business at all, but as a reward you can expect better prices 
than in your local store. Or so one would expect.
The first quote came in 10 minutes ago.

After I had regained consciousness and was able to pull my lower jaw 
back off the floor, I couldn't resist sharing this wonderful 
experience with my fellow list members.
This is the quote I received:

MM5437N
MFG:NSC

MM5837N
MFG:NAT
Price:$22.75 per piece.
MM5056N
MFG:NAT
Price:$21.89 per piece.
MM5823N
MFG:NAT
Price:$23.89 per piece.

Has the world gone totally bonkers?

Senso (still somewhat dizzy and confused)
