I found these on ebay today
eBay Item #321219968906

Seems a bit pricey (i'm no expert),but they are NOS and the seller is accepting offers.
If you ebay..you might want to think about these.

Hope this helps. :)

That's incredibly pricey. They should go no more than $20 per pack at the VERY high end. And this isn't even a full pack, there's only 11 needles! :shock:

You can pick'em off orange and lemon trees, the shoots at the base of the trees are full of perfect needles. I've done it for years. It helps to live in the south too... :D
