That being the case, um, what type.of.quality can be expected? Some are fairly cheap. I

I'm not clear on whether you mean some specific chips or in general, but here is my
experience.
For things that are in current production or recently discontinued, I have had extremely
good luck with Chinese suppliers either from Amazon or Ebay. For things that are long out
of production, such as 1802 (normal, not SOS) and 6502 processors, I've heard way too
many horror stories so I look to ebay for new old stock or used from US or sometimes
European suppliers. Again, I've had very good luck. In fact, I can't remember
every getting any bad ones. YMMV
