I know, I bought them from him. :-o
BTW, the $30 price tag was strictly for you Ferdi. In fact, no amount of money from you will buy one from me.

Yeah, and he has none left now. $10 for a discontinued proprietary part is fair. Ferdis intention is to sabotage my
sales due to a very big case of sour-grapes he has concerning his recent ebay activity. (think SER-001 clone)
The thing is, I don't need to sell any of these connectors. They are just sitting there collecting dust. I only posted
because there was renewed interest.
I don't want to turn this into a Ferdi bashing session. You all know him by now.
But Let's see...
Ultimate Apple Newton 2000/2100 Battery 46hr+
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=27966&item=3064073149
Price $125 with buy-it-now
vs
This is just one of several suppliers:
http://www.thomas-distributing.com/lm-pro415-23.htm
Price $14.97ea. 3 or more $13.97 Ea. 6 or more $12.97 Ea. (packs of 4)
Even with fitting that's a pretty healthy markup Ferdi!
Back at you in spades!
My digs are bigger and better!
Enough said.
