Well, I shopped on ebay for 8250 UART's. I saw 19 pieces listed for $0.75
each. I offered best offer of $0.50 each for all. Of course I was rejected,
but to my surprise the price was then raised to $2.75 a piece. I am not
sure whether it was a price error or a new model of business. Fortunately I
am not so eager to get those chips, and I bought some from others for $0.50
a piece.
