    Are you sure it is free? I checked the link you provided and it says it costs $25 (although it's a significant saving, about 66% discount, it's not free).

    LOL @ the last 4 reviews:

    "Only worth the price you paid if you get it for free.'

    "They tried to steal money from me!!!"

    "DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT"

    "Will NEVER purchase this again!"

    Comment from one of the reviews:
    Just a follow-up to Benjamin Lee's comment regarding the $50.00 rebate that is necessary to get the product to $9.99. This is a MAIL-IN rebate. Mail-in rebate companies are going out of business left and right. The seller of the product washes his hands of the rebate once the sale is made. I have completely stopped buying ANY product that has any type of rebate. It's not a safe thing to do. Online rebates are slightly safer, because there is less of a time lag between the sale and the rebate, but the only safe "rebate" is a product cost reduction. Let the retailer work with the vendor to get the rebate at their time of purchase. Don't let some unknown rebate company get in the middle. They make money by finding ways to disallow your rebate - if they're still around to do it.


    Hmm, yeah I'm gonna pass this one up.
