I see one on ebay for $30 plus shipping, or maybe it's free shipping I cannot remember.

Is that pretty much the price?

for my taxi pin
 
If you buy a rebuild kit from Pinball Life, don't forget the plastic flipper bushing. it is not included in the kit and will only run you about $2 for both but probably a worthwhile thing to change out while your in there...

Thats a great point! I did the same thing when I did mine in Oct. Just because I was in there might as well replace these as well. Remember theres a lock nut on the otherside of the base plate, as I thought it screwed into the wood, I got a surprise when the nut fell out, made re-install a bit difficult, got it done, and it's worth it to do. The flippers today feel the same as it was done in Oct. 09' with about 80 games played so far on them, it's 1986 HS.
 
+1 for all those vendors. I have ordered parts from Pinball Life / MAD / and Bay Area Amusement. They are all top notch retailers, and all shipped quickly.
 
If it's a Williams/Bally game (1992-1998), pinballlife has complete flipper assemblies (w/coil) for $32.50.
