No reason why it has to be switchcraft! In fact, I'd dare say they are ripping people off on their jacks.

Broken Input Jack

A local guy who builds guitars bought 1000 of them for 25RSD (around .25$) each. He got it for cheap cause of quantities, he needs them because he repairs guitars, he sold me two at retail price because I am good friends with him. They are of Korean manufacture and very durable, but I don't know if it's possible to get them at this price in other parts of the world and under different circumstances 
My point was that there's probably a cheaper alternative that's just as good.

Retail price is at 3.50 - 4, which means at bulk (1000) they might be .25 .
It doesn't matter, what matter is that the op has a crappy barrel jack and since he doesn't have a good friend who bought 1000 jacks, he'll have to get ripped off and buy one from a retailer, which it will cost him $10/12 + eventual shipping.
