I can buy miles of zip ties or tape for $40, and since I pretty much always use more than 2 straps, I'd be realistically looking at $80 or $120 for those things. I hate to rain on anyone's entrepreneurial idea, but this one seems to be more expensive and less convenient than conventional solutions.
I actually just run the end back along the strap, wrap it around once, and pull a half loop thru. Big giant slip knot. If I'm making a long trip, I throw another half hitch on it as a lock stitch. Free, no waste, comes out easily, and nothing extra to carry with me.
I usually stick the slack in the truck toolboxes. I also carry some 10ft chains on the truck that go nicely across the truck without much slack to deal with.
