I guess people are adding the price of an SDL cord to it and subtly shaking their heads.

Even without the cable it's a fair price, it's a good buy really.

SDL cables from Unicomp are $15 plus shipping, which brings the total to approx. $70.

Even so, there have been countless M's that have graced this sub-forum for $50 with their cables.

Nevertheless, if I were to buy it, I'd use this as a good excuse to get one of ori's SDL to USB cables to go with it.

Maybe, but that board is below the going rate on eBay.

I sell 1391406s often without cables, and for £40 plus shipping. They invariably go quickly.

Granted, I clean them and test them properly, whereas most eBay listings don't do that.
