Finally i have the time to build me an MB-6582 and i am now in hunt for a couple of sids.
So got any for sale? Give me a holler.

If you don´t get any, you can always try to rip them out of C64s from ebay, just search for the new cases (C64-II) with graphics symbols on the keyboard. In most cases they contain a 8580.
Found this guy on ebay:
I have bought one 8580 sid from him, it works and all.
It’s a bid auction I’m afraid, not “buy it now”
But don’t care, coz after one auction ends, he makes another one right away.
Don’t know how many he’s got, but I’ve seen him sell 4 so far.

You really should ‘coordinate’ bidding so you don’t try to outbid eachother 
the SIDs would get REALLY expensive.
@Spazi - there has been a lot of ‘not cool’ SID sellers on eBay and similar places, i’m not saying that this one is bad or anything (i don’t know him, and he may very well sell nice stuff at good price), but some precaution should be considered. Lots of stories about SIDs being sanded down and remarked and so on, and so on (a lot of these stories you can even find here in this forum)
If you want to, you could post a few photos of the SID? it could be fun to see the stuff you bought from him

Here’s a link regarding fake/remarked sids. Or as the title reveals. Sids that aren’t sids. http://kevtris.org/Projects/sid/remarked_sids.html
I’ve got a big collection of 6581s (about 20 or so), but no extra 8580s. I test them all with the MSSIAH cart. Let me know if you’re interested.
Here is an ebay link to them.
