WILBA IS TOTALLY CRAZY!!! *WHACK*
As if selling 666 SIDs to date wasn’t crazy enough, I am now expecting delivery of 512 pieces of CSG 6582A SID.
THE GOODS
6582 (6582A) SIDs are just like 8580 SIDs and not like 6581 SIDs. They have the filter that works best for the MB-SID V2 Bassline mode, low noise, less bugs. Look elsewhere for whether 6582/8580 is better/worse than 6581.
I use eight of them in my MB-6582 MB-SID V2 Synth:

(but you already knew that)
THE DEAL
Due to recent changes in exchange rates, my haggling skills, and to make my accounting easier, I am changing the price I usually charge, and will request payment in Australian dollars only.
6582 SIDs now cost AU$25 each plus postage and handling fees.
I add up the exact cost of SIDs and postage in Australian dollars, and then multiply by 1.0351966873706 to add the handling fee.
This means 6582 SIDs now cost approximately AU$25.88 or US$22.97 or 16.23 EUR when including handling fees.
Postage will be calculated as the actual cost to post, plus packaging. The PayPal invoice will include the handling fee in the postage amount.
Approximately 200 SIDs are reserved for people on the waiting list, so there’ll be approximately 300 SIDs available for new orders.
People on the waiting list must still email me their orders!
HOW TO ORDER
Running the MB-6582 PCB bulk order and selling SIDs has now made me intolerant of people who can’t follow simple instructions, reply to their emails within a few days, or don’t sent PayPal payments. So there are now three simple rules:
1. If you don’t have the cash, don’t waste my time with an order.
An order means “I can pay now”, not “I can pay when I get paid next month”. I would prefer people wait until they are ready to buy and then order.
2. After emailing an order, you are expected to check your emails daily and make a PayPal payment as soon as you receive a payment request. I try to do things as quickly as possible, but this stuff still takes time.
3. Fill in the order form exactly as described so I can easily copy and paste the details into a spreadsheet.
Email your order to: Jason.S.Williams@ I HATE SPAM gmail.com
The contents of the email should be (without labels!):
MIDIbox username
Real name + Postal Address + COUNTRY
Contact Email Address (same one you are using to email me)

DISCLAIMER
If your parcel is lost in the mail and you didn’t/couldn’t get postal insurance, there’s nothing I can do.
All SIDs I sell are tested before packing to ensure the oscillators and filter work. These chips are new-old-stock, not pulls from Commodore 64, and are unused when sold, with absolutely no long term guarantee. However, considering these chips have been safely tucked away in antstatic tubes for 15 years, they are less likely to fail than one you find in Commodore 64 that has been power cycled thousands of times and been alternately cooked and frozen in a garage etc. From my experience, after testing over six hundred 6582 SIDs, only 3 were found dead. After salvaging about eight 6581s, all were found to have dead filters or dead oscillators.
If you find any chips faulty through initial testing with hardware that is known to work, I might allow you to return them and get a refund or replacement if possible.
THE SALE STARTS NOW!
Don’t wait too long to get your SIDs… they might cart me away to the asylum before I can buy another batch
