Must see.

While I'm not one to defend E-Bay or the ridiculous prices there,
this is not that bad a deal.  2x8 Bricks in blue actually _have_ been
rare, and $0.25 is not bad:

2x8 Brick

Qty Color Set  U.S. Set Name                Year Theme
--- ----- ---- ---------------------------- ---- --------------
2   Blue  560  Heliport                     1973 Model
12  Blue  565  Moon Landing                 1975 Model
1   Blue  6926 Mobile Recovery Vehicle      1986 LEGOLAND Space
2   Blue  4132 Freestyle Box                1995 N/A


Of course, there's always

5141 Brick Accessory Pack, Blue Bricks

but that only has _one_ of them, at a price of $5.50 for the entire
pack.

I've not seen every bucket or box going, but bricks this large
aren't that often included in them in general.
