> The seller's feedback (below) shows a lot of complaints about fake chips. Even so, the seller's feedback is 99.2% positive, so I suspect that there are just a few fake chips mixed in with many types of real chips. It's also possible that most vintage 8086s are purchased by IC collectors who never test the chip.

eBay continues to enable theft, counterfeiting, and fraud.

Fleabay (eBay) is the world's largest online flea market.

If you can find a way to run a large online flea market and not have as much theft, counterfeiting, and fraud as fleabay does, please let us know.

The law requires fleabay to do what they can to reduce theft, counterfeiting, and fraud.

In my experience, the cure is usually worse than the disease. The manufacturers' first and only response is usually criminal price fixing.
