I'm surprised they cost $15. The only thing of value in a plug is the design and labor. They don't have any development costs and their labor costs must be very low. How do they get to $15 each? Six or eight bucks I could understand, but somebody somewhere is profiting handsomely if they are selling at only a 25% markdown over "comparable" stuff made over here.
