Title: Am I missing something as to why these are $17k????

Ebay -Avalon-ASIC-Bitcoin-mining-chips-1000-pieces (http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Avalon-ASIC-Bitcoin-mining-chips-1000-pieces-/190851508220?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c6fa2e7fc#ht_710wt_1271)

Even at the potential of 282GH would anyone actually pay $17000 for just the chips?  

Am i missing the value somewhere in my calculations?

Its just somebody trying to sell chips for that...no bids yet.

ASIC prices are crazy, you never know what people will pay. 

$17/chip is a bit high ;)  Especially buying in bulk.   Just somebody looking to profit off of another's lack of knowledge.

Nice of him to state he accepts payment by Paypal for an item with a starting price that exceeds Paypal's maximum limit...what with him having no feedback and all!
