We've moved and lost most of the "pins" that go in the holes to hold the adjustible shelves of our many bookcases. Does anyone know where replacements can be purchased? Online please, as I live overseas. Thanks!

rockler. woodworkers source. basically any place that sells woodworking accessories. you'd probably find them locally in a good hardware store.
Last time I needed some I got them at ACE Hardware.

You can also cut steel rod the proper length and put that in the holes.

If they are just straight pins pushed into a round hole; make your own! If shelves not too heavy I've even used some thick aluminium wire. Much easier to cut with pliers etc.Or even heavy copper wire! Other wise cut off some nails (maybe four inch nails) with a hacksaw usually a around an inch long be OK. Terry.
You could probably get a bunch free at IKEA, at their service counter.
