Ten to twenty dollars.

It's pretty good but I found (at least for me) that if
your used to viewing in 3-D, the image will look REALLY
flat. I think it's because when I (or we?) look at 2-D
slides in a monocular viewer, I expect it look flat. 
Looking at the same image with the Sawyer's viewer, with
two eyes, I expect it to be 3-D, which of course it isn't
and thus makes it look flatter! 

I suspect (and I think I have read or heard) that for
those that are not familiar with 3-D, that the Sawyer's
will have more of an impact and "look" 3-D.

Incidentally the Realarama (just like other products),
was also sold under other company labels.
