Just curious why you are interested in this particular chip?  I believe bitcrane uses hashfast golden nonces.  I have 60 of these chips still in packaging but in my opinion it is not worth the expense of having them mounted.

It is going to be hard to get asic chips unless your talking very very large amount in bulk.  You might find some like poster above with a little.  But as far as companies the ones currently producing chips normally sell full miners.   To get a order of chips it normally takes a large amount of money.

I'm not sure you will find bitcrane in real bulk either, I doubt they are still producing and chances are stopped long ago.

If they're not producing it anymore chances are it's not a good chip to buy! try something newer, it will be probably much more energy efficient ;)

The problem though is getting the chips.  Unless you have a very big budget you chances are cannot get new chips, unless you are extremly lucky.  Look at a project like sidehacks compacs.  He is pulling chips off boards for his batch 2 compacs.   

I'm sure he would have rather been able to buy new chips, but it just takes a huge amount at this point to get chips in most cases.

 Why do you need a chip in the first place and why do you want a bitcrane chip? Sidehack's chips are much easier to remove and acquire..? I'm sure someone is selling a board or a broken miner with at least one working chip on ebay if you absolutely need a bitcrane chip.

Sidehack is become kinda the golden example of making gear without a million in backing.   You really do have to get resourceful like he did on getting chips from boards, as you need a lot of capital to purchase chips in most cases.

I'm ot sure why OP would want bitcrane.  I still have not figured that one out, seems like better and or more popular options are out there.
