They cost less than a beer in a pub, you're not supposed to buy them at a premium price :) Buying on ebay (as OP requested) there's little guarantee of what chipset you'll get (I've had the blue ones in at least aue and url, it wouldn't surprise me at all if there are others), and even buying branded products from official channels there's still a reasonable chance they will switch chips if they get a good deal..
