Wilba Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 WILBA HAS GONE COMPLETELY MAD SALE!I am currently arranging to purchase 312 pcs of 6582 SID chips and sell them to everyone.6582 SIDs will be sold at US$25 each, fully tested, quantity must be multiple of 2.Shipping to anywhere in the world will be US$4 for up to 16 SIDs using uninsured airmail letter.If you want insured airmail, the prices using current AU$1=US$0.82 conversion rate:Postage is US$7 (to USA) or US$8.20 (to Europe)Insurance is US$6.50 for first US$82 cover, plus US$1.80 for every extra US$82 cover.Postal insurance is not available to Canada and Germany.I highly recommend everyone ordering 4 or more SIDs to get insurance if available.Unless you explicitly request uninsured airmail, this will be the default postage cost if ordering 4 or more SIDs.If a SID is found to be dead on arrival by testing in an MB-SID proven to work with another SID, then I might offer to replace it.Otherwise, these SIDs come with absolutely no warranty.I will be collecting confirmed orders now, and sending out invoices and collecting PayPal payments while I wait for the shipment.There are 312 SIDs in the shipment, and 219 SIDs have been pre-ordered (people put on my "list").Act fast or you will miss out.Everyone must email me their confirmed order for 6582 SIDs using the following email format:To: Jason.S.Williams@IHATESPAMgmail.comSubject: 6582 SID Confirmed Order - insert your username hereMessage Text:Quantity of 6582 SIDsMIDIbox forum usernameFull nameContact email addressPayPal email addressPostal AddressPeople already on my "list" have priority over new orders, but they must email me their confirmed order within 7 days of receiving their notification email. People are expected to pay their PayPal invoice within a day or two of receiving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sensorium Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Just sent you my request. I though i was going to have to use 6581's (and I already have a sidstation for that noise!) Thanks man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilba Posted September 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 There are 301 SIDs allocated already, assuming all pre-orders will be confirmed, this leaves only 11 still available (which I'll keep in reserve in case any SIDs in this batch fail testing).New orders from now will still be collected and put on a waiting list, some might become available from this batch if some pre-orders are not confirmed and/or no SIDs in this batch fail testing.

Jaicen Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 Woah, Wilba really has gone mad if you've tested all those prior to shipping. Mine are the ones third row down, fourth chip in, before anyone gets any funny ideas :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilba Posted September 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Some SID chips are dead, or have such low level output that they are as good as dead.All the SID chips I sell have gone through a quick test (see the ZIF socket in the picture) to make sure that the filter works and all three oscillators make noise and that it has approximately the same output level as my other SIDs. This means people don't have to send a dead SID back to me and get a replacement, I just find the dead SIDs now and save people this hassle (and as always, there's no guarantee I can get more SIDs).

Jaicen Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 That's good to know, and that's why i've bought my SID's from you rather than hunting down E*ay specials ;)I don't suppose any of the chips have working oscs but dead filters? Maybe we could use them with analogue filters? I know i'd take one if so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilba Posted September 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 If you confirmed your SID order with me and I confirmed I could sell you that quantity, you should have received a PayPal invoice already and should have paid it already. Please contact me if you have not yet paid for your SIDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilba Posted October 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Henceforth, Wilba shall be known as the SID King. Le boss devien fou, indeed.I've bought 877 SIDs so far and nearly all of them were sold or currently being sold.I must be crazy every time I spend thousands of dollars on 15 year old chips assuming people will buy them from me... *whack* But that's the quest, to liberate those little gems from warehouses before someone decides to turn them into landfill. 877 down, 4,000 to go... *whack* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
