It seems that every time a bulk of these CPUs are transferred to 
another entity, the price goes up again.  With little or no demand at 
this time, you'll be sitting on this investment probably for 
years.  However, maybe you could recover by offering to install the 
CPUs yourself.  Also, NitrOS-9 fans might want to grab a spare or two 
if the price is right.
