Thought at first that it said "RUSTY" !!
Yeah, good deal. Wonder how much the pogos are with the flat ends ?
But, at that price, I wonder if they make good contact between the pin and the tube. A test fixture is a high-rel thing, no?
Shop at AliExpress and you can get them for less than half that price. You also have a choice of different tip types. I've seen many online shops in the West resell Chinese products at 100-500% markup.
Your link says to me "Currently, there are no sellers that can deliver this item to your location." No price quotation either. Damn, I hate it when they do that when all I want to do is gather some info - such as when I want to visit a manufacturer's global or US site and they insist on redirecting me to their branch in my country.

Seems a bit high for a little piece of silicon.

That doesn't help with physical delivery. Amazon only ships a limited range of items to Australia, since the GST exemption on shipments under $1K went through.
Yes, I know you can get freight forwarding. Been there, done that. Expensive and slow, so you don't do it unless it's the only way.
