I have a Konexx coupler that I'd like to sell. It's worth about $150 new
and even though it's never been used, I'd sell it for $75 (buyer pays
shipping).
Here's a photo:

It weights 9oz, so it's not much lighter. and you can find all the
information you want about it at:
<http://www.konexx.com/products/koupler/index.html>
Just let me know if you're interested.
