I needed a USB 2 cord and was shocked at how expensive they were at the national chain stores. I thought I'd give the Electronics Exchange a try.
What a great store! If you like poking through electronic equipment then this is the place to go! In addition to the USB cable that I bought for $2.99 compared to $28.99 (!!!) I found some great bargains on network cards, batteries and ribbon cables for hard drives.
They seem to have everything from telephone systems to computer cases, so check it out if you're looking for a bargain.
