umm.first off, its a site for jewelry not for one to get, or be pierced.
secondly, i would only use surgical stainless steel at any rate. 

316L stainless steel (surgical grade) is the base of what most piercers use - i hope. heard of several local body jewelry makers who do not.... 

the 1.99 gear is closeout - sell off pricing. they are actually one of the largest wholesalers who are going retail. so, it might be safe to say someone in Pgh is hawking the wares of bodycandy with a bit of a gouge in price. 
sorry...the prices i have seen at shops is staggering!  also considering that now most piercers charge you for the starter jewelry on top of the price of piercing (seen it as high as $80 of both nipples in Pgh), i figured some might want to grab a change of jewelry for themselves. 

Jeremy, i would think you to know price is not always a way to mark quality. 

i know several safe, reliable and trustworthy piercers.
the one who comes to mind for me would be Daisy. 

oh, and no comment on hotrod...
