Hi folks !
I'd like to buy some PS/2 brackets for my AT motherboards, but they're either too expensive for what they are (like here : 6.75USD + 17.5USD for shipping) or I have to buy 500 of them on alibaba.

Is there really no other supplier with better prices and that would be willing to sell few of them ?

If you are in Europe see if this can be shipped cheaper:

I'm in France.

@Horun this is also quite expensive. And it doesn't seem to be available in my country 😒

Ok, well was worth a try. I had some I/O shields shipped to me from Netherlands in a 5"x8" envelope and shipping was only 3 euro. I need to check what it cost for me to ship a 2 ounce small package to parts of Europe. If the mouse socket was removed from the backplate it would easily all fit in a flat-pack envelope instead of using a small box...

Well if shipping is decent enough I could just buy them from there directly.

"We do not currently ship outside the UK" which is a bummer.

While I can find PS/2 brackets on ebay easily enough, the one I would buy if I needed one, had about triple the price of the item itself, for the shipping from NY to the UK. I miss the nineties, when international shipping was still cheap.

You could always get a PS/2 cable and then make your own breakout cable.

Are there any computer repair places around where you are?

Not really, they're pretty much all gone. (And they'd have more modern stuff I think)
