Updated, note limited quantities below. Don't wait until they're gone!
I have a pile (literally) of new, genuine Metcal/OKI tips for sale. These are for MX-500/5000 compatible soldering handles such as the MX-RM3E and MX-H1-AV, and the MX-DS1 desoldering gun.
STTC-132 "Conical Sharp" $8 each (or 4/$25)
STTC-101P "Conical Sharp" "Power" style tip $9 each. ONE LEFT SOLD OUT
- Power tips have better thermal conductivity for tough work like ground planes.
STMC-001 SMD rework cartridges for 0805 size components. $12 each $6 each (3 left)
STMC-096 SMD rework cartridges for 0402/0603 size components. $12 each $6 each SOLD OUT
- See below for a snippet of a Metcal catalog describing these interesting slotted tips. They are a sort of fixed-size replacement for soldering tweezers/Talon iron.
STDC-106 Desoldering cartridges, hole size of 1.52 mm. $12 each. (5 left)
- These are good for 0.1" ICs and headers and similar sized components/pads. Also great for most larger power ICs like TO-3P and TO-247, etc. Not great for tiny stuff.
All tips are new, factory tinned and never used. All are in factory packaging, but some don't have the paper insert indicating tip type (just the plastic box). Prices above USD and are a tiny fraction of new price as you know. Shipping cost is $10 to most EU/Aus/NZ, etc. (by air mail, not tracked) and $8 to USA/Canada (air mail tracked), for any quantity. I could ship faster and/or tracked but it will cost $$$. Payment by PayPal only, just let me know what you want and your PayPal address and I'll send a detailed invoice.

edit: Thanks to those who have ordered so far, the pile is slowly shrinking. Availability updated above. I've reduced the price on the SMD rework cartridges since nobody has been interested in those yet.
