Slorrin Posted March 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Sorry, i am making this the only thread.. i started the first 2 in the wrong section.Here's the deal. I can get 30 of them at a discount price of 31$ american + SH to wherever you are. They are going to go on ebay at 35$ american + SH, so this is the discount.It's slightly more if I only get 20. IT's not the hugest discount, but it's a discount! If i can get people for 30 chips i'll get 30, if i can get people for 20 chips, i'll get 20, so if you neeed 8580s, private message me and i'll write you down. Fingers crossed we get enough!31$ us Per chip. they will be 35$ per chip online.more than a 6581, but the sound is different, so if you want the 8580 sound this is a means to that end.

NorthernLightX Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 I find 31$ pretty expensive. I bought a few some time ago from Germany, and sold them to board members at my buying price+shipping etc. And that was 12 euro a piece...

Slorrin Posted March 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Sorry, you told me that you were going to relist them on ebay when i messaged you the first time. Friend of a friend is sort of a generic "i know a guy who knwos a guy" you know?Anyway, i wanted to broker a discount for the midibox sid community, because i've seen enough people trying to find sids and intact commodores. IF you were already on here, i didn't know, but now that i do, could offer a discount directly to this group now and I don't need to bother? W ould you be willing to treat this midibox community as a single entity and if the community en masse orders a sufficient ammount of sids would you give us a group discount? This would save a lot of reshipping costs and let everyone deal with a single direct supplier!Pretty please?!I arrived at 31$ US from the discounted price you quoted me converting to about 27.50$ US and then the price of 3.50 US to ship them from my house where i was planning to order them from to the others, who predominantly live in the united states, btw. So i wasn't trying to make a prophit, just to act as a hub for people to get these sids. Sory if it caused confusion, but no harm no foul. So now that you've spoken up though, how about offering the price you quoted me to the good lads and ladies on this form directly? they'd get a furthr discount (as i owuld not ahve to include reshipping charges).Shipping for 30 chips: $9.87 + $6.00 insurance + fuel surcharge + GST = $17.69this is what i was quoted, 30 chips at 35 CDN - 15% discount = 892.5(892.5 + 17.69) / 30 = 30.3330.33 CDN =~ 27.50 USShipping to the US of a chip i estimated at about 3.50, i 31$ US.Just to let you know where i got the number from, and that i was not trying to markup or make a profit. I guess i might have made around 30$ if my shipping estimate was off ... ahah.. awesome proffits!BTW.. the guy who posted saying he got them for liek 12 euros.. WHERE? !

Wisefire Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 hey polyfusion,i expect there are a lot of people quite interested.. not me though.. the price is way to high.. i buy my chips for about 5 euros.. with the commodore 64 still attached (they are 8580's)but for some.. new unused chips would be their first choice..

Slorrin Posted March 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 hey polyfusion,why dont YOU sell them here.. i expect there are a lot of people quite interested.. not me though.. the price is way to high.. i buy my chips for about 5 euros.. with the commodore 64 still attached (they are 8580's)but for some.. new unused chips would be their first choice..Yeah, that would be simplest.BTW, where are you getting 5 euro C64C rev 2s or newer 128s? because man, in toronto, all you find are brown breadbox styles and 6581 R4s in C64Cs... I need more european friends.. sigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wisefire Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 hey slorrin,im getting them online.. marktplaats.nl or speurders.nl .. kinda like the dutch ebay.. and i pick them up.. they dont know what they have..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slorrin Posted March 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 I wish i knew more dutch. I studied old english at university, but i still don't recognize these nouns.. ahaha.. I don't have any idea if i'm seraching correctly.. but i can't find any sid 8580s so far :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wisefire Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 here they are abundant.. but hey.. and for the record old english and dutch are 2 completely different things.. try diets.. or german.. thats more in the line of dutch..

Slorrin Posted March 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Actually, Old English is very close to dutch. the branch of germanic that dutch and english are both on split majorly when the danish influence on english started in the 8th century after the danish invasion, and then really split when the normans invaded and brought their weird norman french. But dutch and old english at least share a common parent. However, old english is SO vastly different from middle or modern english that they're unrecognizable.. if i wrote likeIc gelufie thu tha tha haest wundorlic eigenno english speaker could understand that.too bad though, it's a beautiful language.BTW!!! iwould one of you wonderful europeans like to help some north americans find the impossible to find 8580 ??

That said, if anyone is interested in getting some brand new 8580 R5 chips, just give me a shout. Hey Slorrin, no hard feelings about this, I just got worried when I saw stuff about these SIDs in posts all over the forum and thought I better speak up.

Hey Slorrin, no hard feelings about this, I just got worried when I saw stuff about these SIDs in posts all over the forum and thought I better speak up. No probs. If i had known you were on this forum, i would have just asked you directly to deal with us as a group. the prices are a little steep, to be sure, but the demand is high.

polyfusion Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 As Slorrin mentioned, I have about 100 brand new 8580 chips (R5). I'll test each before shipping to make sure that all 3 channels work properly and the filter sounds as it should. To keep things simple, the price is US $29 including postage to the USA/Canada and US $30 including air mail postage to Europe/Oz/and the rest of the world. Chips are packed in static tubes and bags. Money back guarantee against DOA.PM me if you're interested and I'll let you know how to order by Visa/Mastercard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Any Aussies up for a bulk order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slorrin Posted March 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 I have been looking into getting 64C-II units and the price of the units + shipping always totals more than 29$ US. So this looks like, for north americans, to be the best possible deal.I'm not in league with this guy and trying to promote his sids or anything, if you can find cheaper sids, please share. But after numerous Ebay dissapointments as prices went up beyond the 29$ US level, i am starting to hink i'll just buy my sids from old siddy here. Sidman.

polyfusion Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Hi, I won't be offering any more 8580s - most people had no problems, but several people received dodgy chips, and I believe the problem was on my end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
