In my chip-hunting experience, it's not easy to get most audiophile chips any cheaper than retail unless you're really buying in bulk (honestly, if you're just doing an ebay operation the pricing even at 1k isn't going to be cheap enough to justify the investment). The "warehouse" discount stores I've seen generally don't have any nice chips like the opa627/opa637, which I'd imagine have already been eaten up by the companies that really need them (i.e. non-audio purposes) every time TI screws up with keeping them in stock (as in right now). Also, despite the fact that they're supposed to be "warehouse discount stores," the fact that they often target to hobbyists usually means that a whole lot of their stuff is actually more expensive that mouser/digikey prices.
Then there's those gray market chip supplier people (like the 100+ IC buy/quote websites you get when you type, say "buy OPA627" in google), some of whom might actually have some excess stocks of some good chips, and most of whom are probably counterfeiters or have counterfeit stocks. Probably not a good place to go.
Of course, then you could get them direct from the manufacturer--the problem with this, as a lot of people have mentioned before, is that they usually have a minimum order of about 1,000 or so, which, considering the fact that you want to stock up on several different chip types and that you want to sell to individuals over ebay, is probably just not worth it (at these quantities IC manufacturers don't sell things for much more than the distributors, who probably have special pricing from the manufacturer) and beyond the investment you're willing to put into this.
Honestly, I don't see much of a profit margin in reselling these chips, especially at ebay-ish quantities. However, it probably would be a good idea to help purchase parts and resell them internationally (see majkel's post), as many of them cannot easily purchase a lot of electronics parts. You'd be doing a good service to them, and you might also make a bit of money off of it.
