When I first saw this thread I thought that someone was playing an April Fool's Day Joke, then I looked at the website date and it was still March 31, [its that whole International Dateline thingy in the middle of the Pacific] so its no joke, and then I checked out the links.
I think that the Kadee coupler experience is a good guide as to the acceptance of this product.
Actually, $25 for 10 pairs works out at $2.50/pair or $1.25 ea. and when you consider that a freight car from Walthers can cost $40 to $50 here in Oz, then the extra 5% is marginal. However the sums dont work out so favourable for my cheaper freight cars and locos.
I guess it comes down to the individual, and their layout. Just how important to you is the extra detailing of self coupling air hoses?
