I have paid as little as $2.50 when they were on the close-out table. I
bought half a dozen; gave a couple to friends, and scattered some around
so I don't have to walk far to find one. Definitely the outstanding value
at HF ever. Fixing it is not a question of cost--you just don't throw
away something that good.
