There is a sporting goods store close to where I live that sells them for that price. Everywhere else they are $19.99 to$24.99. I think the store is going through some problems and they are lowering prices to get customersinterested. There's lots of competition in the market and with the way our economy is, businesses will try anything to get customers interested. It worked on me.I already had one, but bought two more. At that price, I couldn't pass it up.
