    (Dead) Arita (Ritek) DVD+R 2.4X 100 Pcs Blank Media Spindle for "$39.99" after $20 MIR at Officemax

    These came up 4X with Lite-ons Smartburn & 851s. Soak the sticker with lighter fluid - be careful thought sometimes the ink dissolves also (these didn't). Let it almost dry and the sticker will come right off. Or use the hairdryer mentioned earlier.

    Yeah, that was a bummer no blank disc. I think the difference between the 811 & 815 is Black or Biege bezel?

    hOT! Cobra 40 ch. CB Handheld $10!Sold out!

    Ordered from these folks a couple of weeks ago and they were quick with reasonable shipping (& $2 handling charge). The $10 unit is okay and any cheap mag mount CB ant will work. Wally World has one ($12) and you'll need a SO-239 to BNC adapter. I ordered the 45WXST and it came in a white box...
