Status: offline 		I went to Orchard supply for a small bag of 1/16"x1/2" cotter pins. not stainless!!! Orchard Supply is a moderate sized hardware chain store owned by Sears in Northern California. I expected to pay $1.29-$1.99 for a bag of 20-25. It cost $0.79 per two pins. that is so totally insane. Please Mr. Obama may i have some more. gripes my buns!!!!!

Status: offline 		No Rex, these were defiantly made of Mytheral. The same stuff they use in Middle Earth to make Hobbit Armor??? Very expensive because of the Dwarf labor unions and the fact that shipping cost for the Elf's is really high as well.

Maus, those are the same pins used in the Flux Converter, coated with Navii unobtainium so they are expensive.
