Briggs & Stratton want £2.52 for a single roll pin.
Out of the scabby plastic starter pinion engagement mechanism on their crappy mower engines.
So I bought 120 for £3.99 on eBay.

Obviously, out of context £2.52 is silly for a single roll pin, but I would expect at that price they would actually not cover their costs processing the order if it was only the one roll pin that you were ordering.

Oh, the executor of my will is going to hate me, as they tip all this stuff into a skip. Since it's frequently cheaper to buy a big box of stuff from a wholesaler than 3 of them in a poly bag from the local DIY shed, I have quite a lot of this kind of thing.

Instead of a wake you should invite us all to come and scrounge!

How many do you actually *need*? What is the failure rate?

Quite. I wanted a few brass dimmer knobs. Was cheaper to buy 100 off Ebay than the correct quantity. ;-)

If I ever need another one, I shall have justified the purchase.
