Separating Zippers

From the email response I got from one company about separating zippers... more or less what I would have expected...

"as for loose pin and box attachments, they are not available for sale from the manufacturer because if they were then anyone could buy the components and assemble zippers and call them their own."

Ugh. I thought this wasn't supposed to happen in the free market. I'm ready for it to correct itself already. Perhaps I should draw up my detailed plans for at-home separating zipper creation and post them on the internet, and hope someone picks them up and decides to go into business making and selling them... so I can buy them eventually. Or I suppose I could try to do that... but really I don't want to take that much time away from my sewing, or front my own cash, or try to market myself.

out of random curiousity (and feel free to ignore me), have you thought of trying to find these on e-bay? it seems like everyon sells EVERYTHING on e-bay. It's just a thought...

Actually ebay was one of the first places I looked, and nobody there sells what I need. It's a good idea though. I get all my continuous zipper from ebay. :-)
