    That may be an old, or very limited deal that has expired. The link shows it to cost $15.71.

    Thanks for posting this deal. It was good 2 hours ago. I ordered several for family members and just got the conformation e-mail to pick them up. The link has been taken down now.
    Thanks again.

    I learned to jump on this sort of thing ever since Dell's USB Terabit Drive pricing mistake.

    But these were so cheap I didn't really want to pass it up.

    BTW; When I Got to the store they were questioning the validity of the price. And they suggested I must pay the normal price difference (another $15) per each unit.

    I reminded them that the product was already purchased and belonged to me. So hand it over and STFU!

    Then to slam my nuts with a hammer, 10' from the register they ask to see my receipt at the door. "Erm, NO!"
