That's great. I've looked at different times for those things and haven't seen them that cheap. Course I haven't looked on eBay for them either :-)  That said, delivery date is Jan-5 to Feb 23... a window that is usually too frustrating for me. I think the last time I ordered something like that from overseas it landed somewhere in the middle of that type of window.

Could order similar from Amazon. for about $6 and have it in a few days.

Yeah the shipping does take a couple weeks (most of the time they arrive around the beginning of the delivery window unless there is some holdup in customs ) - but I usually keep several around and order more as needed - In a pinch an old IDE cable has the same type of connections but the wire gauge is a bit small so harder to work with. 

Also if you need a bit longer wire you can use the same type of wires (jumper wires) with the male connectors and string together a couple wires to make the wire longer without having to splice it in.

See. I usually think I'm getting out of this hobby and that I'm just going to start playing my machines. Then I get sucked back in. I don't think ahead to keep things laying around. I'm going to have to. Now that RadioShack is nearly dead (and really sucky) i can barely even get spade terminals in the right size without going online.

I know the feeling - while living in Los Angeles I was the same since there were several Fry's, etc. around to stop and pick up things - but now that I'm back in El Paso the only electronics place around here is Best Buy  :laugh2: - So I have to either keep some things or wait for the online order to get here.

I used to live in Orange County a few miles from Frys. I know the feeling. Here in St. Louis...  nothing decent either.
