It's an epidemic, we're all buying these from Big Lots! I paid $5.99 though. You get what you pay for. I didn't get a manual with mine. I do have a question, where can I purchase a cable to connect it to my pc? Also, I have set and reset the date and time on this dumb thing and it won't stay. I hit enter, of course without a manual I don't know what I need to do. Thanks for any info!
