It's a few pennies more expensive from Happ. They separate out the cost of the knob...

I wonder if this means Ponyboy will be selling them cheaper as well?

I hope so :)

And its actually the same exact price.

Happ has it for $71 + an $18.95 top = $89.95.... same as SlikStik.

God only knows what Happ will charge for shipping, but the base price is the same.

If the price on these went down to $60-$70, I think I could convince myself to buy one over the $33 one.  Given, the $33 one isn't the greatest, but that or a hack is a TON cheaper...$100 just for a spinner seems...obscene to me in some sense.

And I REALLY REALLY want a spinner.

So this sort of doesn't make sense to me. I always figured happs dealt mostly and really only wants to deal with commercial customers. There shipping policies seem to indicate that.

But these spinners are really just a hobbyist thing, aren't they?

I don't know about that. Frequently the 'ponyboy price' is the cost if you order an item in bulk.  For these, there is no discount for buying 10+.   If the price is exactly the same as it is through SlikStik, that also makes me wonder if it'll be possible to get it any cheaper through happ/pb.

But who knows....

I think Happs is finally wising up that there is a fairly good market out there of "hobbyists" and they buy things too...

Now if that realization would trickle down to the shipping department, they might be on to something.

I stand corrected. Good to see your book out there in another place.
