people keep telling me that connectors with ultra cheap prices exist, if only I knew where to find them. Yet when I search on Mauser, Digikey, or even on Amazon, I've yet to find even a low spec connector for cheaper than $5, with $7 being about average for decent grade connectors (500 insertions or more).
