Does anyone have experience with the Hitachi replacement stylus DS-ST-18 from Bluz Bros? It claims to be a 213-DEX stylus (0.2 x 0.7 mil. Nude Elliptical,) which doesn't appear to be available anywhere else–so naturally I am a bit skeptical. Is this seller reliable?

I've looked at their site a few times. Their prices are out of this world. They had styli listed that I simply drooled over!
In the end, their prices scared me off. I've never heard of anyone doing business with them. Good luck if you should choose to accept this mission!

Well, their almost reasonable price for what appears to be a very rare stylus is what makes me skeptical, given what they charge for everything else . . .

I was also looking at their site recently. When I read that,in addition to their shipping charges,they charged a $10 ''handling fee'',I decided they could go ''handle'' themselves!

The return policy is YOU CAN'T! I think I will pass as well.
 
I have done business with them about 6-8 times. Helped me find some rare OEM stylii albeit at a healthy price. However, I have never been disappointed. BTW - I was never charged, direct, any handling fee. Satisfied customer though.
 
Maybe it's just me,but I really did NOT get a good gut feeling after reading their conditions of sale. Seemed like their policy is ''customer is always screwed''.
Hell,I may be totally out to lunch on this one,and they're great to deal with.I won't be risking it,though.
