Not sure if it is a bargain or not, or how shoddy the quality may be .... but i thought someone may be interested for a xmas present, etc. $80 + $13/$14 shipping seems ok anyway. Let me know if you get one, but don't blame me if it turns out to be rubbish.
Oh yeah, the link will probrably not work after mid day today, it will be some other product.

I've always been fascinated as to how grocers and supermarket keep cold meats, salmon and the like fresh for so long. With the
Vacuum Sealer Pro, you can achieve the same incredible long lasting freshness, from your own
home. This powerful device is capable of creating a commercial quality
vacuum - perfectly sealing the bag contents. Oxygen and moisture in the air cause foods to degrade over time and lose flavour, texture and nutritional value. Not anymore, thanks to the
vacuum sealer you save money, save freshness, prevent freezer burn and preserve flavour!
