At Target the silver Dorcy 2 C 8 LED price was cut by $2 (US). I still believe you would be better off putting this toward a 1 W Luxeon based light such as an Inova X0.
Sorry, seems like not so long ago I posted (OK, it was 3/17/04) this list:<ul type="square">[*] 4 LED 2 AA $16.99 (list $19.99)[*]8 LED 2 C $29.99 (list $49.99)[*]1 LED 1 AAA $7.99 (list $9.99)[*]3 LED AA $9.99 (list $15.99)[/list]
Anyway, its now $27.99 (US). And they still do not have them at the online store.
If you're interested in the 2C, consider the Nuwai AT-100 instead. 10 leds, 2 stage switch (3 or 10 leds), similar price, and much better construction. It uses Nichias, too.
