I might sell mine.  I believe I am done using it, and I don't own a router (borrowed one for a friend after buying the bit).  I bought from MLCS as well and I believe it was just $16 shipped.

He, he, at the end of that thread I see the "buyer bug" bit you too. That's the problem with shops like that, they have so many cool items you always end up ordering a hole bunch of things ;) I went a tad overboard ordering a 16pc Forstner Bit Set (#9146). Pretty cool stuff, but so far I only used the 1 1/8" bit. But then who knows, I might get the urge to drill a hole of another size  ;D

Just as an update, I took a couple of the guys advice and bought a slot cutter from MLCS. I didn't even slot more than 3 inches in MDF and the bit through all three carbite tips! I realized this when one of the bits flew off and hit me in the leg. I should of realized that this bit would perform crappy since I bought it so cheap. If I was just routing plywood I DO believe that this bit would of been fine but with the density of MDF it just couldn't cut it, excuse the pun. I ended up using a larger bit a budy had and hot glue. I think my next cab might have to be plywood or purchase a better more expensive bit.
