    Something sounds a little fishy.

    If you buy direct from Maxim, they are 1.85 each by the thousand. Your ebay is 1.29 each.

    Here is a interesting story about a fake IC that didn't even work:

    If you read all the links, they eventually found out (sort of) what it was. Nothing close to what was stamped on it.
