Two months ago I bought two TOSHIBA 1meg SIMMS (120ns) from a parts supplier
(Marshall) here in Southern California for $180 each.  The company I work
for is a major customer, so that may have helped.  However, a friend has
just ordered the same parts, for $175 each from the same supplier
and did not have the same association with the company that I did.

The wait was about 10 days for me.  It is two months for my friend.
I am sure the price fluctuates, and it may very well depend upon your
business relationship with the company you buy from.  Marshal is not
really in the business of selling small quantity to folks off the
street.  They are a volume supplier for equipment manufacturers.
