IIRC it's about a dollar a piece.

naikrovek Jan 20, 2023 View on HN

yeah I saw that. $2.49 each in quantities of 100. more expensive if you buy fewer. that's... a lot.

Would be a nice trick but even at volume pricing that is $1-2 a pop.

May you share where? From a cursory glance, US retailers only sell them for 1.5x the price: ~120 USD

Look harder. I just purchased 1,000 for $7.

petervandijck Mar 29, 2011 View on HN

$49.99 sounds about right. I would also try something higher, like $79.99, see how that goes.

Aren't those like 100 bucks a pop?

Yep $9000 prices upon occasion.

Well I bought three today @55/each. So don't kick yourself too hard.

What market are you in?Last I looked, we were paying north of $100 for that.
