Those connector pins are incredibly expensive, but it's good that they still make them. Have you tried to find cheaper alternatives?

For me the "shock" came when I ordered them as the shipping costs were 25€ so that it does not make sense to oder just enough pins for a single cable.
I only looked "half-heartedly" for replacements as I want to keep any original device connectors and cables undamaged. Otherwise one could replace the whole cabling system by e.g. LAN or USB cables. But that was not my intention.

Of course! You'd need to keep compatibility with the old connectors so that users can mix HP cables and yours and not need some sort of adapter to convert from HP jacks built into the devices to your cables.
