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:

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...

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

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

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.
