Fashionable Wristbands

My kids are heavily into the craze for the silicone wristbands. They have got the anti-bullying band and we purchased the Lance Armstrong Livestrong bands - unfortunately from Ebay for £16. They now want the Stand Up Speak Up racism bands and I have tried to get hold of these but they are not available in the shops. The only place I can find that sells them are Ebay again but they are going for approximately £10 each. Does anybody know where I can get a couple without paying extortionate prices.

Thanks

Alison

    Hi, i can only echo previous post, https://www.laf.org sell the livestrong bands and are only $10 for 10 (approx. 50p each), not sure about p&p to the uk tho. Please don't buy the bands from eBay, the anti-bullying bands which incidentally were free from http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/onelife/fun/freebies.shtml (NOT available anymore though) were going for about £15 a time and all you're doing is lining some greedy gits pockets. The anti racism bands are available from various sport shop outlets but do disappear very quickly, try here for a list of stockists near where you live http://www.nike.com/standupspeakup/en/get_involved.jsp?page=getinvolved and remember they are only £1.50 or 2Euro's to buy so paying much more again only lines someone elses pockets. :D

    I must admit that I have been trying to obtain some of these from Ebay as my boys are desperate for them, but they are going for absolutely stupid money.

    Hopefully the stores will get them in soon.

    I ordered some (10 youth and 10 adult) from the LAF and it costs $11.50 (total $31.50 about £18) for postage - all in all it is still cheaper than ebay and you are ensured all money goes to charity.

    Im waiting for 100 of the Livestrong bands to arrive and will be selling them on ebay for £2 including postage and packing. Im fed up of people lining their own pockets with these things. Any surplus will be given to the LAF foundation.

    Any chance of a 'heads up' when you are about to put them on ebay?? I too would like to be able to purchase some of these bands at a more reasonable price but if you are selling for £2 i'm sure they will go pretty quick!!! Cheers

    My daughter tells me that in this months issue of Marie Claire (not sure if this is how you spell it!) there is a page on the Bands, and where there are all available.
