Hmm, now I have dealt with Chip Merchant, and was very pleased (have bought
a total of 24 simms for myself and friends/associated) back when the prices
were in the 90's.  But I'm a little concerned about this "Misprint". I only
say this because when I spoke to them a couple of weeks ago when the printed 
price was $86 they said that was a misprint and that the price was $87.

Now don't get me wrong, I think their prices are great either way, I just think
they may be over-predicting price drops, and then claiming misprints, this
is not really a nice thing to do more than once.
