Olfa 60mm Replacement Blades Price Comparison

I well remember my very first Olfa Rotary Blade Cutter that I bought at the Seattle area's Sewing Expo oh so many, many years ago. Throughout the years I have bought replacements blades and actually learned how to replace the blades without cutting myself up. I added an Olfa's 45mm cutter to my collection but didn't use it much... UNTIL the cost of the 60mm blades began to go up.
Today I noticed someplace (sorry, don't remember exactly where I was looking) that an Olfa 60mm replacement single blade was $7, I decided to do an online search for 5 pak blades of this brand. Here's what I found.
These are costs of a 5-pak of 60mm Olfa blade replacements:
Overstock.com: 28.49 + 2.95 shipping= $6.29/blade
Olfa.com: 50.99 + 9.90 shiping= $12.18
Amazon.com: 17.65 + 4.99 shipping= $4.53
Buy.com: 36.28 + free shipping= $7.26
I didn't check out JoAnn's nor factor in their 40% & 50% off coupons.
My solution: Harbor Freight's carpet cutter 45mm replacement blades and use them in my Olfa cutter. Sad to me because I have always enjoyed and appreciated Olfa's brand of products.

I have been buying mine from the auctions on ebay for years. I too, get disgusted at the cost. I usually bid on a big enough lot to outfit me and my mom long enough to take my time to watch for cheap deals on ebay again.

Here's a look at completed listings on eBay for 60mm rotary cutting blades sold in lots:
http://completed.shop.ebay.com/i.htm....c0.m270.l1313
You might have to be signed in for the link to work.
As you can see, the price per blade can vary from over $2 to under $1.50 (not including shipping, which usually works out to less than $.25 cents a blade if sent priority). It depends on the day and who else is bidding.
