I was looking at prices for E-Z Mate couplers on this site and something seems a bit off.  A single pair of Medium Center Shanks is $14.00 (http://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/products.php?act=viewProd&productId=246) but 25 pairs is only $24.00 (http://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/products.php?act=viewProd&productId=462).

That's kind of a big per pair price difference, is that a mistake?

That $14 is for the dealer pack of 12 as one large card with individual pairs as perforated tearoffs.
One pair is about $1.25 or so.

Ok, that makes more sense though the image provide makes it look like its for only one pair.

As for the Kadee's, I normally do get kadees but since I only need one pair I thought I'd check out the EZ-Mate couplers.

When I asked for replacement couplers Bachmann sent eight bogies with couplers, BUT wrong type, still waiting.
