I didn't really expect to buy the lights, it was more out of curiosity. The first yard had nothing, but they directed me to a second one. Those guys did have the 740 corners, and they wanted $50 apiece. WTH? These things are $40 new from FCP, and eBay starts at $20. How are these guys able to keep up this pricing with the Internet in existence? Mark this post as an answer to my question<- Use this feature to mark quality replies to your post.
