It seems quite a high price, considering that you can get ATMEL parts via eBay and PayPal for much less, e.g. US$0.15 rather than US$150.

He didn't say they were $150 each...
But see the reply from Vimal Ajmera - he seems to be saying that the price was not just for blank chips, but also for a programming service?
Vimal Ajmera said:
The problem facing to Mr haribabu is he cannot program the ics - as Mr haribabu is not having the programmer to program the ics.
we ask them to send the program file & ic so that we can get it program -- but they have not reply & send us the Caution notice.

Maybe either or both parties here are being somewhat disingenuous...?
