Default Price increase on X2s?

Just checking out the Egg and noticed that the X2 5000+ BE has actually gone up in price. I could have sworn that I saw it as low as somewhere in the $70s a couple of weeks ago. What's going on here? Has there been an increased demand for that chip or something?

yeah just saw the prices on these chips

I paid 84.99 when I bought mines back in March.
Must be low quantities of it and higher demand but at that price Its not really considered one of the Budget cpus anymore imo
