Scored a HUO one for $2800 recently. I like this pin a lot, and not just because it throws out a lot of F-bombs (although this earns it a lot of points). Better than I liked AFM and ST:TNG, actually. Maybe I'm just not a "serious" pinhead. Oh well, I like it and it's not leaving for a while.
Every Stern I own has been virtually bulletproof, so I'm not sure why people bitch about quality. Of course they are all HUO too. To bad the new ones are priced out of my range.
