I just got back from my neighborhood 99cents Only Store (the large chain) and they had 6ft USB cables (A plug / B Plug) for 99cents as well as 6ft Printer cable (DB 25 male/centronics 36 male) for 99cents. Also picked up one of those retractable phone cords for laptop modem connection for a buck.
The USB cable seems to work fine with my CF card reader and connected my USB drive with no probs.
I live in Southern California (Ventura County)
Store plastic bag says call toll free 1-888-LUCKY-99 for nearest location
MontyBurns that makes no since. I wonder why they canceled your order? Maybe thier stock ran out and now they just raised the price? They still show them in stock for $6.00 each now.
Another place to try for USB 2.0 cables is your local Target store clearance. Mine had several 6 ft ones from the Todd Oldham DormRoom brand for $2.48 yesterday. I think that the item number is 080 00 0531. UPC is 0 26616 15016 8. Just a heads-up in case you are going to be near a Target store.
I see the link is down for now. You can get 'em for $1.20 at Compgeeks. Not sure about the shipping for just cables. I ordered 15 of them when I ordered a case/pwrsupply for $25 some time ago. Shipping was like $10. They had to send 14 of them separately because some bozo sent just one. No extra shipping charge. I thought it was a good deal. Here's the address. http://www.compgeeks.com/details.asp?invtid=USB2-09-AB Hope this helps someone. That's why I bought 15. $10 bucks for a damn usb cable is ridiculous! Not suggesting you order just one and pay$5 for shipping or whatever the shipping is, just fyi in case someone needs more than a couple.
i got my cables from this company. shipping at compgeeks is 6 bucks, so if you buy like 10 cables, it'll be the same as this deal. compgeeks also has 10ft extensions (A-A) just in case you want to lengthen. i read on another thread that microcenter had 3 meter usb cables for like 1. id search around before paying more than 5 bucks for a usb cable.
