Be careful when using broker websites for

In my search for some SMC UARTS, I've come across some sites
that appear to have "open registration" for posting inventories.
(i.e., anyone can supply an inventory list, and an e-mail address,
and they'll show up on the vendor search.)
In my opinion, these are all worthless. They all claim to have
everything, but if you read the fine print you find that they won't even
talk to you about order under $2-300.
I've been trying to find a good source for 27C200 and 27C400 EPROMS and
ran into all of these clowns. Does anyone actually know where I can buy
small quantities of these (besides eBay, where I've already been burned by
a Hong-Kong based vendor who shipped pulls that cannot be programmed
successfully).
