Purchasing 4.8x1.7mm universal laptop connector pins online?

I bought a laptop universal adapter and we use the 4.8x1.7 connector pin(middle yellow one, next to the blue) on our Acer laptop but the metal pins that are connected to the bottom has since snapped off. The laptop adapter is still fine, so I don't want to throw it out. I just want to buy replacement pins.

I've tried searching the net but all i can find was someone selling the entire 8 connector set which is not what I want (especially at $15!)

The compatible pins for my adapter look like this with the metal pins on the bottom, in a 4.8x1.7 size:

Has anyone seen anywhere online where one could purchase just these pins? I was hoping to buy a bunch, maybe like 10. I figured it couldn't be more than a few bucks from China or something but have yet to find a supplier who sells them (checked ebay, alibaba, dhgate so far). I will keep looking though as I am sure someone will have what I am looking for, I just thought I'd ask in case anyone knew a place.

Thanks
