Intel C1101A

[Corey Cohen]

I do notice these "schlock" IC sellers actually raise the price the more "hits" they get on an item.  So your shopping around will actually make the price worse and my even cause your earlier vendors to raise their price when you finally do place an order.

The probability is that you may have hit the original stocking guy with your first query.  Querying any others will result in them looking at the wants that others shared, or buys, and he saw someone else had it and quoted you the same info.
