Need A $2.50 Item on Amazon

[Palanan]

This always gives me headaches.

Thanks to a very late, very unexpected and very welcome birthday gift, I can now Get Something Nice on Amazon.

Alas, it falls a little short of the magic $25 mark. About $2.50 short, in fact.

...Help? Suggestions for some clever two-dollar item?

[Jay R]

Three of these (http://www.amazon.com/Speckled-16mm-Dice-Arctic-Camo/dp/B001EULT3M/ref=sr_1_9?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1376624208&sr=1-9&keywords=dice+d20) should cover it. Or any specific dice you like that add up to $2.50.

[Palanan]

I appreciate the suggestion, although that particular one is actually $0.85 + $3.02 shipping.

He said three of them, and $0.85 * 3 = $2.55. The fact that it's shipped and sold by Gamestation might be a problem, though, as I think that makes it ineligible for Super Saver.

Filtering for Super Saver shipping, and sorting by price... you could get probably the fairest d20 you've ever had (http://www.amazon.com/GameScience-Ruby-d20/dp/B001GKRZ2O/ref=sr_1_9?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1376641405&sr=1-9&keywords=dice+d20) for $3.99. There are some (http://www.amazon.com/Chessex-Dice-Velour-Cloth-Approximately/dp/B001DR0AWC/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1376641405&sr=1-1&keywords=dice+d20) dice (http://www.amazon.com/Chessex-Dice-Velour-Cloth-Approximately/dp/B001DR2912/ref=sr_1_2?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1376641405&sr=1-2&keywords=dice+d20) bags (http://www.amazon.com/Chessex-Dice-Velour-Cloth-Approximately/dp/B001DR291C/ref=sr_1_3?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1376641405&sr=1-3&keywords=dice+d20) for $4.99, and there are several colors and patterns of 7-dice sets in the $5 to $7 range. Doesn't look like you'll find anything closer to $2.50 than those in this general category.

I usually suggest a set of these:

Neodymium magnets. (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Dtoys-and-games&field-keywords=neodymium%20magnets&sprefix=neody%2Ctoys-and-games&rh=i%3Atoys-and-games%2Ck%3Aneodymium%20magnets) Just pick and choose some to your liking, although they're more in the range of 5 bucks.

Correct. Also, at the risk of committing gamer heresy, I...I think I have enough dice for now.

Hmm, thanks. The buzz magnets (http://www.amazon.com/Westminister-98-Buzz-Magnets/dp/B000PHHJ98/) do look like they could be fun.

However, still open to other ideas. I used to buy books from the Dover Essential Grammar series, but I've pretty much run through most of the languages I'm likely to be working on.

Any other ideas?

[Grinner]

Any other ideas?

Perhaps a book? There's tons available cheaply.

[Palanan]

Yup, that was my eventual choice. I went for The Crowded Universe (http://www.amazon.com/Crowded-Universe-Race-Beyond-Earth/dp/B005Q6V6BA/), an update on exoplanet surveys by Alan Boss.

When I think of stuff I want, but not immediately I add it to my wish list. When I'm a few bucks short of free shipping, I get those items.
