I'm just glad no one referred me to Uncle Google.

Does anyone know a good place to get those chaiser necklaces? That one website has $25 min and min $10 shipping. I don't really need 15 of them

Try here..

Sadly, unless you can find them locally, it'll usually cost you more per necklace, even sans shipping costs, to get them via eBay or Amazon. Even in junglesmacks's link, the cost per necklace is nearly double. The best thing to do is to consolidate multiple peoples' orders into one large purchase, especially when the 10% off discount comes up. Our orders would normally be about $100 or so, across 4x or so people, so the discount cancelled out the shipping. Maybe someone here could organize a group buy and reship them out to the various people.

I also found that I wanted multiple necklaces because I could string them together (I'd use 3x per wheel), give some away, and also because some would break. Often I'd be too lazy to swap out the batteries, so I'd just end up tossing the battery-depleted strand into the bag and grab a new one instead of replacing batteries. After the event I could go through the battery swapping as needed. You'll have to weigh the costs of what you want and what you want to pay.

So using 3 per wheel? That would put us at 12 which would get us to the 25 bucks anyways. Was thinking they were a bit bigger.

For that price, I would just go with those LED bike spoke things from Wally World.

Oh here we go. You can get them from DealExtreme for about the price you'd get them from Extreme Glow -- but with free shipping. Clearance, so they're cheaper, but they might be supply-limited. Beware that shipping from DX takes a LONG time, so expect up to a month before things arrive, but they generally do a decent job. They don't appear to be the exact ones EG sells (the switch appears to be axial to the necklace), but they probably function and connect the same.

Remember that they're the length of necklaces (~50cm), and also need to feed through between spokes. Two would probably work fine; I used three because I wanted all three colors running at the same time. I think I put only one in the front wheel as a short hoop.

Here are three connected to each other:
