I have 4-5 SX52 Proto boards, but also am unwilling to let go of them. Parallax originally issued these before the SX52 was discontinued AND before they reduced prices.  You are unlikely to get any for $4 as those 4 extra pins might come in handy someday and that is less than the actual chip cost.  

It isn't a 'black market' so much as it is a collectible item.  Prices will likely stay high or go up.  I also have 25 SX-18 Dips that I wouldn't part with for similar reasons. In many cases, one doesn't need more that 12 i/o pins, but the DIP is useful to swap  out revised code.

Does anyone have SX-52s for $10 each? I'd consider buying a dozen as a good investment.
