Probably the most expensive Propeller DIP chips I've every seen. $33. in single units. Gold plated?

What's up with Newark?

    You've got to take inflation into account. After all they were $31 a little over a year ago.

    ...guess they don't really want to sell any.

    The old-line distributors like Newark, Allied, Arrow, and others of that ilk, are pretty clueless. They've been blindsided by the successes of DigiKey and Mouser, both of which understand the concept of customer service and the needs of small purchasers. Unfortunately, the Newarks have learned nothing from the experience. Just ignore them. They're no longer important.
