People, please be patient when ordering items. Why are we supporting Ebay sellers that are selling this chip for $65. I see where these items are actually being sold for this price, it is absolutely absurd. I asked an ebay seller if his price was a typo and that I can buy the chip for around $15. He asked me to prove it. I refuse to show him the link as he will buy them all up and jack the price again. Well it is actually closer to $19 and they are available at the moment. I just picked a couple up. If the item isn't in stock when you want it just be a little patient, they WILL get more in stock. We just shouldn't be supporting this massive price gouging going on over at ebay and other auction sites.
What's with price gouging on Ebay for the Naos Raptor Chip??

e-Bay, to me, is not the End-All-Be-All when it comes to price.
I have gotten some Fantastic Deals. I have also seen Items going for Way More than I can buy Elsewhere.
I also Don't Believe in the Concept of Price Gouging on Items that can be Purchased in a Free Market. An e-Bay seller can set Any Price they want.
It to me is Up to the Buyer to decide if they want to Pay what the Seller is Asking.

I'm tempted to order some from Digikey, and put them up BIN for just enough to cover expenses, I saw that, and it is outrageous..
You MUST be an informed consumer. Ripp off artists are everywhere
Yeah... That Mobile Dentist I found on Craig's List turn out to be just Some Dude in a 78' Econoline Van.
I love this thought process. Hopefully gas/oil prices get even higher as we watch the rich get richer.
Adding in the stocking as a reseller this can happen.
No foul or moral dilemma its the process of sales.
When I first bought my OEM joytech ego twist over a year ago when it was fresh on the market whoa 200.00 at some online stores. I searched and searched and @amazon found a twist on sale for 35 bucks, this was before they had a clone of the twist but then a few months later clones hit the street for 15 bucks. The clones were identical perfoming as the oem twist except for the 510 connector, it stripped threads in as little as 3 months where my joytech 510 is still good over a year later..
Meh good heads up, but to some 65 is 15 when it comes to gettin er dun..

I'm just wondering why you're trolling sellers on ebay for their prices. It is theirs to sell, if you don't want to pay that, don't =) I admit that sometimes when reading over there, I get a serious belly laugh out of what people think others will pay for their wares. It is their choice to pick a price, and yours not to pay it.
Like it or not, it's 100% correct. The only way to stop that dynamic is through regulation. Not sure what the oil analogy was about, but it's particularly inapt.
These chips are in high demand by modders and in low supply because, from what I gather, they are old tech.
Absolutely, time is money.
