Ok first off, they're not for me.

But I do need to get about 5 some some person/people.
Where is the cheapest place to get the real ones?
Sellers on ebay charge about £4 for them and another £4 for delivery(even though a stamp covers it).. And that turns out at nearly 15EUR.
Anywhere cheaper than Ebay?
I think they're all sold out in shops.

I don't get the fascination with them myself, but each to their own.

you cant get them anymore. and dont buy them on ebay either! when they were for sale in shops the money for them went to charity, on ebay its just rip off sellers making a profit and not caring about the charity. if only all the charitys got together and made these things they could make a lot of money for there charitys at the moment rather than fashion bands! kids are going crazy for them! i just think its a shame the charitys are losing out on this one.

As much as I have a problem with the "wearing you charity donor status on your sleeve" craze of these things, I have a hatred for the fúcktards who profit from reselling them.
Surely the charities are smart enough to know this is what's going on.
A proactive step like offering them for sale on a person to person basis (to avoid bulk buyers/resellers) from online sites would nip it in the bud. Pay whatever for the wristband and a euro for the postage (can't be much more than that).
If these charities really do care, they'd be tackling this problem.
Sorry for OT post, but stuff like this makes my blood boil...

I got two in JJB Sports in The Square the other day (and they are real before you ask!)

dawballz · 21-05-2005 11:55pm

How much were they?

Innervision · 22-05-2005 2:53pm

€2 each

If those are yellow, I saw a box of them in a petrol station in Galway last week.
Dunno how much they are though.

dawballz · 22-05-2005 8:45pm

No, they're black and white.
The Yellow ones are LIVESTRONG. They are all over the place I think.

There's an Esso garage on Tyrconnell Road (the road just before the Naas Road where the Luas crosses the canal) that has sh1tloads of them on the counter. They're the official ones too. I was in there the other day and noticed about 200-300 in a box on the counter. I think they were about €3 each.

It would be good if concern gave them out when you signed up.
I give the bastards money every month and they still bug me on the street.
Then it would make sense to wear them armband things as a signal that you are already a sucker and they would stop bugging you.
