Jeremia,
I've seen the same complaints about those sites. I was just pulling it as a reference photo, not a recommeddation on where to buy from. (my bad)

However, you can get the same item through eBay or Amazon for about the same price, and I've seen lots of folks swear by them on both sites, as well as in the RepRap Forum.

not that my opinion is worth much, but once I get the rest of the finances secured for my printer, I'm planning on running one of these.
