I saw that before I bought my Sashiko, and asked my dealer about it before I bought mine. That's just someone on ebay's rip-off prices. I think a package of two needles at my dealer was $14 ($7 a piece). Still expensive, but do-able. This needle is not like any other needle out there. It is very specialized for what the sashiko machine does, with an opening in the back so that it functions like a hook to grab the loop of thread. Worth it.
