That's precisely what I mean about breathtaking. When they can do CR123As for �1.99 and you can get 2CR5s from 7dayshop for less than �2, I'm not going to pay over �5 for a battery I can get free from work. 8-)
I wouldn't grumble at US$2.95 they do have a long shelf life apparently, I had one in a Super A that I got secondhand, lasted for ages but was never sure if it would damage the camera. Even the whopping �2.65 GBP isn't too outrageous, but I guess if you get them free it's a different matter ;)
The ebay price is ok but you have to reckon in the postage and money transfer costs. Where did you get the �2.65 price from? The URL you listed just took me to the battery-force home page and I had to search. Only found the Panasonic (I think) for well over �5 each. To clarify: I can get LR44s free - we use hundreds of them each year.
