Woody,

Below are the prices for shipping of this cable to me here in NYC.
One this I don't understand is the shipping for USPS Priority Mail.

Now Priority Mail (Box) is only $3.85
Add insurance for up to first $50 is only $1.30
Delivery Confirmation if this is a commercial account is $0.45
Now I forget what the cost is for Signature Confirmation - let me
guess at $1.50 - it should be less.
3.85 +1.30+0.45+1.50 =3D 7.10
7.10-12.55=3D5.45
So does it mean that it cost $5.45 for the box or is that also plus
the handling and packaging cost?

I see these cable from one of the other eBayers (maceasycomputing)
I've purchased for around $6.99 plus shipping of $6.00 flat shipping
rate comes to $12.99 for the cable shipped to the Continental US - I
mention this because I purchase one before from the seller and I have
no affiliation other than telling you where to get a cheap cable...

Shipping from J&K Sales - not totally outrageous... just a little
steep for us who can't afford much... but if purchased from them it
does double the purchase price just for adding the shipping alone.
