Wow, and they came on a socket 4 tray too - also rarer than hen's teeth!
If you can bear to part with any of them, I'm in the eager crowd too!

Another story - 6 C4040 processors and a bunch of white ceramic support chips for $150:

http://cgi.ebay.com/6-INTEL-C4040-MICROPROCESSORS-27-EXTRA-GOLD-CHIPS-/300520250578?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item45f8671cd2

Congratulations to forum member who bought it! I'm impressed.

I did not win them, I did however reship them for the member
They were in great condition (1 had a bit weak print) and a couple of the C4289s had chips, but still an amazing deal

Let's hope there is no loaded gun nearby the seller
if he ever realize that $150 buy-it-now for 6x C4040
was really a bit too inexpensive... Shocked

3 pieces of Intel C8085 and a couple of D8086 for $200:

http://cgi.ebay.com/8085-CPU-Quantity-3-8086-CPU-Quantity-2-/140572074627?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20babfa283

Not a bad deal considering that it's a non"A" version of 8085, and it's more rare than C8085A.

Edit: I'm not a buyer.

He has sold some things on ebay, so the spares may appear Smile
