Why are these clips so expensive? At $39.99 it's like someone mashed an extra 9 when putting in the price, the face gasket which is much larger, uses more material and is more robust costs less than half, even the power adapters are $5 cheaper.
Seems that the price has been corrected to $4.99

Yeah. The price is seriously insane! Two smaller zipties fit through that opening just fine and cost me pennies and work better than that cheap plastic clip.
Don't bother buying a clip, just buy some zipties. I bought 2 clips and they both only lasted 2 weeks. The plastic they use is to weak for long term use.
Are these things ever in stock? I've been waiting for them to be in stock fort weeks. I can't imagine that too many people need them so why are they always sold out?
Do you sell replacement clips?
