It's funny. In 2019 I did a couple of larger personal orders for play and upcoming projects. I got @50 STM32 (a few different), and 25 Giga RISCV chips. The order was a less than 250$USD for the uC's, some memory, and logics.
I use them sparingly now, and try not to goof them up!
Nice. I'm in the same boat - I ordered a couple of hundred ATSAMD parts that I didn't end up using, and now they are going for almost 2x what I paid due to 50+week lead times. Crazy times!
