Sandy, I haven't looked, but try buy.com. If you can find them there at a good price, the Google checkout promotion is now $20 off of purchases over $50. You can try putting them in your cart and if there is a Google checkout button, you can get a really good deal on them. --Warmest regards, --Rick Alfaro --rick.alfaro@xxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Sandy Licht Sent: Friday, November 24, 2006 2:53 PM To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookport] Re: bluetooth headphones I went to Amazon.com and found the Plantronic headphones for $199.00 at the Amazon store.
