Commenting on this old post. Did you notice the marketing strategy in the advertisement? It is a lot like inkjet printers of today. The hardware is cheap or free, but the consumable is patented and needs to be purchased. Here, the coupler can be licensed for manufacturer at a railroad's own shops, but the pin must be bought from Sams, and presumably the pin eventually wears out and must be replaced.
