99.99 cents. (PRICE GOUGING!)
That said, I wouldn't trust them much for data transfer above USB 1.1
speeds, but they work just fine for charging, and my AlphaSmart dana does
very well with one for USB HotSync.
Though that reminds me tangentially of the A-to-MiniB cable that
came with a Freescale dev kit I got a while back. It was thin
enough that I would call the data transfer suspect, but it had
ferrites the size of walnuts on either end. Only 3 feet long,
too. Goofiest-looking cable I ever got.
