Thanks for requesting a chip via the Chipdir!
Your request has been send to me (the author of the Chipdir) and
also to the chip brokers that help me and know even much more
about the chip brokerage business:
Normally it will take several days to locate the chips and get the
availability confirmed etc.
It's natural that you are anxious to see results or that you want
to know if the request is worked on. Of course you are free to call
or email, but before the 'detective work' has been done they can
only confirmed that the request is being handled. It's like asking
a detective if he will find the murderer soon and what he thinks
his eye color will be...
You should have gotten an answer after a week though. So make
a note in your diary to check then.
It's not advicable to ask either chip brokers for the same chips
during the search because most chip brokers find their chips on
the same market and when several parties show interest (on behalf
of their potential clients) then the prices may go up.
If the chips can't be found in currently available stocks (which
unfortunately happens more often than we'd like) MidWest will put
your request on a list that they regurarly send to their colleagues.

When you're looking for a serious amount of scarce chips (>$200 per type),
mail me the full chip name, manufacturer and quantity you'd like a free quote for. |
