Title: Used ADB to USB iMate - $20.00 Shipped
Post by: skrounge on Wed, 24 August 2011, 18:13:33

Just got mine in today, it has been working great so far.  Mine does look like the one in the picture - the white usb cord is kind of strange.  (The other pictures I found around on the web had a a cord that is translucent turquoise like the case.)  There are only two left.  I ordered mine late Saturday evening, it shipped Sunday, and I got it today.  There is an almost invisible blemish on the plastic, but who cares, its not like I am going to be staring at the thing anyway.

I asked him about that, because it doesn't look very appley. He said that's how he got them. At some point I can only assume the original cable was damaged and these are refurbished.

I have one of megaweapon's (when he was selling them) and the fact that its a fixed cord is the only thing that bugs me about it, considering how expensive this is compared to a blue cube.

Yes, that cord is weird. I've got two iMates - one turquoise, one clear - and the cords have a silvery appearance under the transparent plastic. The listed ones are definitely modified.
