I don't understand your point. Usually one can buy ice cube trays at
a store for 3 or 4 for a dollar at the beginning of the summer season.
It's been a long time since I bought them for water ice cubes. The
last ones I bought were for making basil cubes for storage. So, what
is an appropriate price in the real world?
