roger, roger ... I have 4 of them ... these are chinese and the seller is a rep for some chinese SS maker.
the cheapest one I got was $.01 + $ 9 shipping. no need to rush this as he has been listing them for the last year or so with two or three coming up every week, sometimes with no starting bid at $.01.
I use two because I'm running two spin halyards, one based on each ring. and the pole gets preset to port for a port pole launch. also use the port ring for the anchor of the second jib halyard ... which we use for the jenny sock.
the $14 ship is something new.
