Your link doesn't work. If this is the chip you are talking about then I imagine it is because the people have the money to spend, and they don't want to take the chance of missing out on one if the rumors are true about no release.

Personally I'll listen to Andy who seems to have the "inside" accurate information. He still thinks that a release is coming.

Also, I think your post a while back might have got people worried about the release, and that drove up the ebay bids. You never did say where you got your information. I figured you had a couple to sell on ebay yourself, and were looking to cash in. If not, you better get yours while you can. Personally, I'll wait a little longer for some information from Andy and Mike.

Be well,
Glenn
