Again seeking SX chips

Do you, anyone, happen to have a hidden horde of smt SX chips you could sell to me? Again I've run out, but still have demand for my Stache product, to support field programming the BASIC Stamp. I can use the SX20AC/SS or SX28AC/SS or the SX18AC/SO. (not SX48).

Found some here:

I have two Scenix SX28AC/SO (not /SS) and three Parallax SX20AC/SS that you're welcome to. If you want them, PM me your mailing address, and I'll get them off to you.

These guys

have 309 of the SX28AC/SS in stock, but I bet they aren't cheap.

Thanks for the leads. Phil, I'll send you an email about the SX20AC/SS that you do have. The SX28AC/SO won't fit, no pcb for that, too big for the enclosure. Thanks too, Dave, for the ebay link, not bad at $7, but that is a through-hole part. An SX20AC/SS is listed on ebay link for €40.70 each (50 available) plus €35 shipping from Hong Kong. Aiiii. Not going to bite on that one!
I've sent RFQs to chip1.com and to worldwayelec.com (referred from Octopart). One vendor, SPW, quotes $933 for 50pcs link. Ouch. There is lots of stock shown on digipart.com link, but is it real? One has to RFQ each vendor to play their game.
In some cases, multiple gray-market vendors are quoting the same stock. It's like multiple listings in real estate.

Tracy,
I went ahead and mailed the three SX20 chips to your business address.

Thanks much Phil. I did find 10 more SX20 that I'd stashed away, ones that have bent pins. That's a PITA, but can be rectified. No responses from my RFQs. A direct phone call to a domestic vendor that claims to have 50 in stock, led to an evasive conversation, no maker or date code, and at least 4 weeks lead time anyway. Hmmm.
If you ever run out again Tracy, I found 4 sx20's at the bottom of a box of other various SX bits!
Next time I travel to Rocklin I could bring them with me. Might be a good offering for an Expo table !
VonSzarvas, I've sent you a pm.
I did receive a quote for 50 SC20ac/ss chips from WorldWay, HongKong. $51 each, US$2550 extended. Ouch! Out of the running, I think. Chips for the desperate. It happens.
An offer appeared on ebay for SX52DB/PQ for US$1.50 each. Or 220 of them for US$130. Too bad I can't use those, but there they are if someone needs them...
