If you aren't looking for more than 1-2 floppy cables, just order something you do want from Coolerguys, and then in the comments with your order...just ask them for some free cables. They are good that way. They used to give away (2) cables with every order (IDE/Floppy, any style except for UV). They recently stopped promoting that, but for old timers that remember... they will kick in free stuff, if you are polite - Watch their Garage too... a keen eye can snag interesting deals there.

If you want a single cable you can get it for 0.69 at SVC.com and use first class shipping for 1.75. So a single cable is under $2.50. You can use first class mail at SVC as long as it's under 13 oz then you have to pick a carrier like UPS.

Edit:
You can get two of these cables for 1.38 + 2.75 1st class shipping because its still under 13 oz.
3 cables is 2.07 + 4.07 super saver shipping (parcel post). It 5.30 shipping for UPS.

Interesting. I bought like 10 assorted fans and 2 of these cables, my shipping came to $9. Hell, newegg wanted $3.99 shipping ON EACH FAN I ordered. My order was ready until I saw the shipping charge at newegg. My advice to you, order more stuff to make the shipping worthwhile or go buy your IDE cable at a local retail store.
