$250 seems like a normal price for Apple peripherals.
Yeah you're buying not only an apple preheprial but a defacto limited edition, vintage one. No ones gonna charge you less for that once they figure out how to market it.
Wow, I knew holding onto that thing would pay off
I had one of these. I sold it 10 years ago for about double what they cost new when I bought it. For a period of time they couldn’t give these things away and I’m fairly certain I bought mine open box at MicroCenter.
Funny thing is, I still use it with my Cinema Display, which all works just handy dandy, just one dead pixel.
A big problem with this is that if someone is goodwilled and sells their own adapter on eBay for cheap. Someone else would buy it to sell it at the 250,- price for profit.
I could design and produce a small batch of those adaptors.
Would anyone be interested in getting a prototype and helping to test it?
Wait, you're saying I can resell my old adp to dvi connectors for up to $250?
Someone's about to make an easy grand...
Hey, what'll ya give me for some FireWire cables? Ooh, I got an old pre USB keyboard and mouse too!
Fuck, time to go through my old cable bin…
All the second hand stores should have a picture of this
I think I have that same exact dongle.
