Dahon Mariner D8 landing gear?

Hey all! First time poster here.

I picked up a second-hand Mariner D8 last year. Been working out great for me so far, and I've been thinking about grabbing Dahon's landing gear as an upgrade. Trouble is, it seems like the only place I can purchase one is directly from Dahon's website, and it's $30 plus $15 shipping.. As much as I like the idea of supporting Dahon directly, $45 seems a little steep for this particular part.

I'll go with it if it's my only option, but does anyone here have one they're trying to get rid of? Or happen to know of anywhere else I could find one? I've checked ebay and craigslist, but this part may be a little too obscure even for those (I'm in the NYC area).

Not as good as what you re looking at but litepro makes a wheel that fit in the seatpost. It is a cheaper alternative

Thanks Fentuz; I haven't come across those before. I'll keep that in mind as an alternative.

Thanks, yeah I see they have a few options for wheels that attach to the seat post like Fentuz suggested. I think I'm still leaning toward the kick-down style that Dahon sells directly, which would let me keep the seat raised to use as a sort of handle for pushing/pulling the bike.

I was thinking of the wrong thing. I did not know what he was looking for. Here is what I was thinking of.
