It seems the resold them cheaper [0]. Unfortunately, all prices are zeroed, so it's hard to tell by how much and whether it was below retail.

I'm not knowledge on CPU prices, but looking at their prices from January [1] , it looks like you could save around 10% off retail if you used them to get the "losing" chips.
