He was having trouble selling them at $25, then all of a sudden he raises the price to almost $150. I don't know what his thought process is that justifies doing that. He's only going to kill whatever sales he was getting at $25. About 2 weeks before he raised his prices I managed to find a K6-2+ 550 and a K6-2+ 570 from other sellers for less than even the $25 that he was charging originally. I also managed to pick up a K6-III+ 450 in the the same price range as the other two and IIRC, they will all hit 600mhz with the right motherboard.
I remember that guy. Several years ago I tried to offer him $15 for one of his K6-2+ 570 chips, which I felt was more than reasonable; He did not accept. If I recall, he had tens of thousands of these chips. I still do not own a K6-2+ 570 because, as others have pointed out, 500 MHz is a sufficient limit.
