[Coco] 2 wasted cpus?

[Kip Koon]

Steven,
I received a response within a couple of days I believe.  They will send you
an email with their current price, but if I remember correctly, I paid $5
apiece, but delivery took 3 weeks.  Since I'm not in a production
environment, it was fine for me.  I did get a bit anxious to start my 6809
experiments, so I worked on Kicad to get my circuits correct.  If you need a
6809 or 6309 quicker, I'd recommend considering Cloud-9 Tech.  Hope this
helps.
Kip

It's interesting that you were able to purchase onesy-twoseys from them. 
I have typically ignored sites that present themselves in that manner due to
an impression that (a) they don't really have many of the items (but "they
can get them") and (b) even if they do, the price is intended for commercial
customers who don't mind paying 10x what it's worth to a hobbyist.

How quickly did you get a response?  What was pricing and delivery like?

Steve
