Well you said/he said "My old man had a saying: 'Cheap at half the price!'.
"
BUT I suspect that you mean he might have said Cheap at Twice the Price when
he meant a bargain. Dear at Half the Price is said too for when it ISN'T a
bargain..
I can remember when I was doing tech work at a radio station and the
Blurb-writer and Production team made an advert for a client where they did
say "Cheap at half the price" and were trying to be making the point how
cheap the product/service was. They actually needed to say the other version
to make their point. I got sworn at and told to stick to my own job. It went
to air. The sponsor cracked a fruity!
There is a similar pair of sayings on another topic but it escapes my memory
right now.
Maybe I should be selling my Systron Donner clock.

Heh. I swear the 'Make an offer' button wasn't there when I first saw
this. But then there were only four up for sale then too.
Even at half price, these are too rich for my blood - bearing in mind
this is the price for a single tube!
My old man had a saying: 'Cheap at half the price!'. Well, not in this
case (for me, if you have the disposable income for these, or can see
an investment opportunity, go for it).

Don't hesitate to make an offer, since the option is available ;-)
I think the price is meant to be "up to".
