    Or you can just buy the chips, samples aren't intended for you to just avoid buying chips. Especially as you are intending to sell it afterward.

    I did not the expect the bad vibes from especially from experienced guys like u 2. :( I quit a stressful job and suffer from depression. I am not signing on as I'm not going to waste mine and the job centres time. I am trying to make a living through my own means and have very little savings and what money I make is through eBay.

    Chips are like 10 for £5 or like 5 for £2.50 from China or like £3 in the UK and you are intending to sell for profit.

    What exactly did you expect? Also, you are offering to pay postage (which is like £1 anyway) ans you can only order 3 chips for samples....

    So you are going to pay £1 for 3 fraudulently and give someone a discount, or you could just buy 5 from eBay.

    If people do what you are planning to do, people who actually need samples for legit reasons may not be able to get them if microchip stop the program.

    I have not done enough searching on eBay for the chip bundles u advise. I have only seen 16F630 for roughly £1 each. I was expecting 14 free samples, too mod two snes', megadrive and a master system. I will look again for the chip bundles.

    Just because the chip has 14 legs doesn't mean you will get 14 free samples.
    I recently bought these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291550048759
    They arrived quickly and worked great. Less than 2 quid for 5 chips including shipping is a good enough price but you can get them even cheaper on Aliexpress.

    Trust me, sign on. I didn't for similar reasons and regretted it. At least you'll get NI contributions. You might even get ESA with depression, perhaps.

    If you want to start your own business, that's great - but don't forget to declare it. Talk to Jobcentre Plus and they'll advise you what's the best path to take.
