I agree, that’s a bit much for pieces of flat aluminum alloy. I was also disappointed in the flat slab links — the book calls the bracelet a “chain”, so I expected something like either curb links or even mariner’s links, something heavy and substantial, and true to the book, I expected them to be greenish (even if anodized).
Well I broke down & ordered the green (inexpensive ) ones from the site. The Liberty bracelet. Last day at 12.99. It may not be like the one in the movie but there will be people recognition.. much like the Lance Armstrong yellow items
