Unicorn Electronics has the 68B50 for $7.99
https://www.unicornelectronics.com/IC/6800.html $ 30 mininum order and 4 weeks
shipping to canada stopped me.
$12.06 US from china. (ebay).
I am having my PCB's made from PCBWAY in china. Shipping takes longer
than them being made. ~ $100 US for the PCB's and ~ $50 for shipping and tax.
I like OSHPark, US based and pretty quick, decent pricing. Low enough I haven't felt
compelled to look for cheaper alternatives. One nice feature is that they take KiCAD
board files directly, no need to generate the low level Gerber files. One oddity is their
purple (or black) solder mask, but one gets used to it. 2 or 4 layers and some other
variations.
