I bought one of these on ebay a month ago. For $2.50 I got about 4 watts, which was enough to light a hall to keep you from running into the walls, but really not useful.

I am pretty much sticking with CFLs- I have been happy with them for 5 years.

We do have some unusual light shelves in all our rooms that I am lighting with half price LED Xmas lights. In the living room it has taken 800 lights worth $60 and using 70 watts to light the area. I like them, but I think they have a way to go to be cost effective over CFL, at least the way we use them.
