ok We have one rack offered up - i would obviously like to get the best price i can get - i am canadian so the 3.50 per chip turns into 5$ per chip plus shipping - i would like to pay 2.50 max per chip - but beggers cant be choosers! I will wait a couple of days to see if there are any out here for 2.50 a chip US.
$3.50/chip is pretty damn steep for original CdI chips, even if mint and/or the hardest-to-find denominations (which the $5 chips are not). Singles don't even sell for that high, much less rack quantities.
Should be able to pick up a rack for your offered price; maybe even a little less. Problem is finding people willing to let them go.
