I know this chip is rare, it took me forever to find one myself but holy crap this one sold for a load. What do you all think of this valuation of a mint pentium 60 sx753. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8795172922&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

By the way, to answer your question...

I got one of these in almost perfect shape, with an earlier datecode, for $30 on ebay last month.

You must have been one of the folks that purchased from "chipsfans". Those really were underpriced. Both went on buy it now quite quickly. I didn't see them untill too late. I would say these sx753's are worth about $50 mint what do you all think?

Speeking of TMAC though. He seems to win just about everything. Who is he, is he a forum member? If not does he have a site to display what must be a massive collection?

WOW!!!!

I got an even earlier date code, in a box of bits for about $10. I found mine under a heatsink.

yeah.. stupid prices.. dont pay too much attention to ebay prices, especially if its the same buyers over and over spending large amonts, its not a true indication of what people are willing to spend... a few weeks back those buyers bought some 1Meg Pentium Pros for like $300 .. now the same seller is unable to sell them for $40, and if you look you will find them for a lot less.
