Hey I noticed that Fourby has the Morgan-Hill boost pins in stock. However it looks like they're shipping to the US is, well pretty steep, at around $100. So if anyone else wants one or a couple we could take some sting out of the shipping. Or the second option, has anybody tried any of the knock offs that are all over ebay UK? 20 pounds and 10 shipping is a lot easier to stomach.
Boost pin, again.....

$91.19 shipped is what I just paid. I put a second pin into the shopping cart and the shipping went from 9.99 pounds to 22 so a group buy will cost you more than buying one yourself.
I am a firm believer of "buy once, cry once". I'm not going to buy an unknown $20 pin from eBay that might induce metal shavings into my IP to later spend $500 on a rebuild. Others have complained about knockoffs being made from soft metal or improperly hardened and wearing away pretty quickly.
My risk reward model says to spent the money on the Morgan Hill pin or leave the original pin alone.
