Don't feel too bad. I saw an external 24X (appeared to be USB 2.0) burner, I think Polaroid, marked at $59 or $69, among a pile of clearance merchandise. I'm in MA, where OD got basically ran out of state, so OM doesn't seem to offer the same sales as reported elsewhere, because one of their biggest competitors isn't present anymore. (Still have Staples though, their corporate HQ is located here.)
I imagine that Walmart will be raising prices significantly when K-mart and Target are gone too.
Btw, Polaroid was/is in Chap11, and doesn't sell/support their burners anymore, and some people have had quality problems with them too. But $30-40 for a USB 2.0 enclosure isn't too bad.
