As per title, anybody know a good OST to PST converter for a one-off use? Don't want to pay thousands of dollars for one, but from Googling looks like there aren't many free OST to PST converters that don't have a limit. TIA.

I'm not aware of anything that will do this for free, however I do own Kernel OST to PST converter if you need help to get out of a bind.

You not switching from gmail to office365 are you? I went down this road, could not find a converter. In the end I just setup outlook to download all my gmail to pst. I then uploaded it to outlook.com. It took a long time but worked and was pretty easy.

In my experience you're best to just ask the colleague to manually move the emails across, it's not worth the risk of data corruption.

Thanks everyone. 

 

@Kraven did this work well? Just don't want to buy something for it to not be great.

It does work well, I have used it on both IMAP and Exchange OST files. I believe they have a trial that will let you view the contents of the OST, I would give that a try first before purchasing just to be sure what you are after is recoverable.
