I am really getting unhappy with this kind of manipulation of the collectors. (Not sour grapes -- I wasn't looking for these chips anyhow.) But, I am within a millimeter of discontinuing the collection of LEs. I guess if we all stopped there would be no incentive to issue the buggers and the speculators would die out. It will be interesting to see who has "obtained just a few" of these to sell on e-bay.

Idea for one of the chip mills: Issue a chip with a picture of a collector with a big screw in his back, titled "Last of the LE Collectors"
