[WEB4LIB] RE: headphones

[TMGB]

I found headphones at Big Lots for fifty cents a pair when we were
considering selling headphones.  These looked like the headphones you
might get with a cheap walkman type radio and they worked very well. 
Granted Big Lots does clearance buy outs you should be able to find some
supplier for cheap headphones a buck or less.
