@Komponent,
Check if with my 50 chips we already have for a second tray.

Komponent,

I'm in for 20 chips.  I'll send you a PM later today to discuss your modding services.

Sigtau

Completed the second tray! (Well... sort of; still waiting for Kaitou to confirm; she (he?) has the first dibs on those 10 chips.)
I will post the official purchase order at the seller company the moment a german friend from here offers his help as the sole receiver of all chips, or wait until Sunday and have the goods shiped to Romania, but in this case we all will have to pay more. If a german guy could help collecting the money from all of us and them make the bank transfer (that would also be of great help), then I will only be collecting the VAT (so my company will pay its taxes). That is 0.67 USD or 0.46 Euro for each single chip.

I guess this is my chance to jump in and request the following:

12 chips (Komponent can keep the extra chips after the successful mods) (29.4 EUR) ($42.00)

Services Requested:
v5 5500 AGP Mod (25 EUR) ($36.00)
v4 4500 AGP Mod (with remaining chips) (5 EUR) ($7.00)

Extra costs I calculated :
VAT charges(.46 EUR per chip x12 = 6 EUR ) ($9.00)
Shipping both ways (28 EUR) (~$40)

Totaling = ~94.00 EUR / $134.00

@ Komponent - just to confirm, the cards will be modded, flashed, and fully tested before being sent back?

Thanks in advance Komponent for offering such a service to the 3dfx community.  You rock!  

What does VAT mean?

And did I get the point? 108 chips for less then 3 EUR???
If someone from Germany buys the trays I will take one tray (108 chips) for the 3 EUR + proportionate shipping costs...

I will take 14 if possible!

Are they 5,5.5 or 6ns?

But if not I will confirm my 10 Chips here officially!

Yay! Thanks!

Because I wanted to mod a Voodoo 5 and a Voodoo 4

First, some quick answers:
@ Sigtau: No problem. It is not easy for me too to pay the cost of my own chips (but the opportunity is not the every day encounter).
@ Rottentreats: No question about it; the cards that I will mod will be flashed and fully tested. That is why I ask for patience.

So, we are on for 2 full trays of 16Mb chips. That concludes our group buy first phase. I will place the order on the items right now. Please take it serious and we will have a fast and smooth deal. As I said before, I do not sell anything here and I gain no penny from this action; I only try to organise some details and offer some help by acting as a middle-man on route to the RAM seller company.
I also have some great news: our friend Roland (Rolo01) from Germany has offered his help and he will serve as the receiver of the package with all our chips. He will take care that everyone will have his pieces sent to the needed location. The buyers will talk to him about the shipping costs to the desired destinations.
Rolo01 has also agreed to collect the money from us all and then make the bank transfer as payment to the memory seller company. The buyers will be contacted to discuss perssonaly the payment details.
I want to express my gratitude to Roland for all the effort he has enlisted for our 3DFX community! Please, offer him all your thanks too.
I will update the list of the names, requested chips and costs soon.
