I've been searching for samples and found that it can be a pita to find shops that sell per chip and don't charge out the rear for shipping. Here are the best places I could find to order from. If anyone else knows of a better place to get samples, please post it here.
I tried to find a shop that sells as many of the chips I was looking for to avoid having to pay shipping costs multiple times. I couldn't find a shop that has a good selection of both Paulson and Chipco w/o terrible shipping costs, so if anyone knows of one, please post it.
I'm not including chip costs since a difference of .20-30 on a dozen chips isn't that much of a difference. Shipping totals are for 20 chips.
