That $15.00US price looks good, so I went to Amazon.ca (I live in Canada) and searched for the same item. I figured add 30 to 40% for the exchange rate, so probably around the $20 CAN mark....

If I even get around to finishing the restoration of my 1972 VW dune buggy I might use it as a tow'd.
For someone wanting a cheap tow'd a Suzuki Grand Vitar or Chevy Tracker are good choices.
