I have seen these chips either very cheap or very expensive on fleabay, the only site i saw it on was Futurlec and they want $25USD for ICL8038__JD. Whereas , 10 x ICL8038CCPD can be had for around $5USD>

What are others experiences ?

Thanks Dan, have you built the Freekout and have you come across dodgy ICL8038's ? Would these chips be fried if they received reverse voltage ? I think i made a mistake at some point during the Freekout build.
