This is what I bought, they accepted an offer of $3, plus $15 for shipping = $18. About as cheap as you can find on Ebay.
This is the same cord that I just ordered from a different vendor (RVMshop) on ebay in Honk Kong. Did it end up working? How long did it take to arrive, because I ordered mine last Friday, and I still don't have a shipping confirmation.
It took a long time, like over a week. I guess shipping from Hong Kong takes a while--like "a slow boat from China." Now the bad news: I have not been able to get the cable to work. It doesn't come with any drivers or instructions of any kind. When I plug it into the PC there's a red LED inside the USB end of the plug that starts blinking rapidly and that's it. I don't even know what that means. I have gotten some advice from the forums, here's the thread:

It could be there's just something wrong with my PC settings, etc. but I've been busy and haven't had time to troubleshoot it yet.

Good luck with yours.
