it was around $12-$14 for each, off ebay. i figured i'd stock up on them because they cost at least a dollar each regularly... i dont know why i got 50 ultraviolet ones though, what a waste...

PSX controller with USB adapter - very nice controller

why would you buy them for 14 bucks if you can get them for 1 regularly...?

I once heard about a sale on Saturday morning for Yakima racks, so I woke up early and went to REI and dropped like $500 on a complete rack package with both bike and snowboard attachments...like 2 months later I sold the car nad bought a jeep for $3800, rendering the rack useless without more money. Put about $2000 into the jeep and then sold it for $5000 and moved to Argentina for 2 years. I then came back to the states and bought the same type of car I had before, found my old rack and put it back on my new car, where it resides today.

Dang that was a fun couple of years of impulse buys, and a great car rack.
