Especially if you figure in the cost of labour need to find what is
broken... but then you are talking about doing it yourself.
It's usually cheaper for me to cut up some
pre-made "PC" cable and
solder the right connectors onto it than to buy all the materials at
the shop. It seems as though the average Taiwanese worker is so cheap,
he/she's gives only a negative increase to the price of the final
product. =/
Or supply and demand. How many people solder db9 connectors? Compare
that to how many people want mouse "extenders".
