There's a reason why there are only a few vendors in the grand prix community. Nobody has any money and they have nothing else to do but *****. TDC should not be collecting or selling IC that he does not have in stock or in his hands, especially when the supplier has said from day 1 that this is not something he wants to spend all his time on. If anybody else can make these cores in mass quantities and please everyone, go right ahead. The Wbody store, i believe, just started selling cores again after 1-2 years of not having them in stock. There was a time when ZZP was out of stock on IC cores and working on a new design, half the time the S2 were out of stock throughout the years anyway. Those cores are not cheap also, you should be thankful someone will sell them for $350, maybe he should jack the price up to $500 so there is less demand and more profit.
