Help me find shelf brackets. Please!!

I've been searching online off and on for months trying to find affordable, metal brackets for 2 shelves I made for my living room.
The key word here is affordable.

Maybe I'm cheap (Ok...I AM cheap.) but I can't see spending $80.00 for brackets.
All I want are simple, decorative, metal brackets with one end at least 12 inches, but the cheapest ones I've found that I like are $20.00 each. No, I'm not talking about the metal ones you get at Home Depot. I'm using those now until I can find decorative ones.

Does anyone know where I could find them for less or will I have to bite the bullet and cough up $80.00 for them?

I'm hoping someone here can help me. Thanks!

Thanks to both of you.

I'm so tired of looking at the cheap hardware brackets I'm using temporarily but am so darn cheap ;)

If I end up getting any, I'll be sure to let you know.

Here is a pair of gothic cast iron 12" brackets for $34. Shipping may or may not be free.
http://newcrystallights.com/goshbr.html

These are priced individually, 11 3/4" at $10.95 each. Free shipping on orders over $50. They have many other styles too so look around.

These are pretty cool, hand painted dragonfly wrought iron brackets at $26.99 per pair. No size though so you might have to ask the seller.

Hope this helps, and happy shopping. :)

@attilathemom: Those dragon fly brackets almost look like they could be used as curtain rod holders or plant hangers. My mom would really like these.

@wootvan: cinder blocks are not shelf brackets, they don't hang.

@wootvan: And an Elvis fan I see!!

Well, I'm still looking. Either the sizes aren't right or the design is too much. I'm looking for something really simple.
The size is what really kills it for me. I took a trip to Lowes yesterday since I liked the styles I saw online and thought they might have a larger selection at the store.
Nope. 9" max.

So, thanks for all the help. I'll keep looking.
And maybe even break down and pay waaaaaay too much money. :)

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
