If you're in the UK they were selling these in Home bargains in a few different towns not too long ago, i think they were either £1.79 or £1.99.

Do not buy them.They are terrible cubes if they arent broken in and once they are the core snaps very easily!!!when you lube it the pieces start to fll out after the smallest of turns!!although they ar djustble which is suprising and they use an eastsheen color scheme

I got one of these a while back out of The Works and it sucked.
However, when I was into the shop yesterday I spotted another £2.99 cube in it's place called 'Professional Magic Cube'. It looked suspiciously like my FII, but I wasn't sure what it was exactly. I decided to buy it anyway (for the price I wouldn't lose much) and I was surprised to find it was actually a pretty good cube. It feels like my FII, though it catches a bit more (this might get better with use and/or modding) and has even worse stickers, but it's pretty smooth, has pretty decent corner cutting, and I haven't tried adjusting the tension yet so I don't know if I can, but it doesn't pop on me so I don't think I need to (and my short attempt to remove the caps failed). On comparison of the pieces, the edges look a bit different, core is reasonably similar, and corners are almost identical. I will try to post some pics tomorrow if needed. Anyone else seen it/tried it? I would say it is nearly as good as the FII, so it might be worth a try if you see it around.
Sorry for the bump, but I searched first and this was the closest I found, so I figured it should go here.
