I did notice that the 65C22 chips have extremely soft and fragile leads however (a lead broke off of one), which I find a bit odd, perhaps refurbished?
...or possibly a counterfeit. Not sure how you would be able to make that determination, however. The
chip liquidator from which I bought my AMD 53CF94 SCSI controllers employs various methods, including X-rays, to weed out counterfeits from the surplus stock they buy up.

As for Newegg, no issues. I've been buying computer parts from them for years. With the exception of Apple hardware, I buy almost everything else from Newegg. My current "Custo-MAC" is built on current PC parts, all from Newegg.
We use Newegg as a secondary parts source, and have had excellent results with them. They are seldom the best when it comes to price, but they handle all sales in a courteous and professional manner.
