What is overpriced to you? Without that info, others won't know if they should post their price. I got one off eBay for $12. But, only because I bought the charger with all power adapters from same person at same time for too much money

i search and the $12 i have found all are aftermark brands. You can buy a ipad cable for $3 why are this cables for asus transformer so expensive. Even if it is for transformer 1 since they are basically same cable.
Because there are millions more people with any idevice than Transformer/Transformer Prime devices. Simple economics really, they can sell them for less as they are made in higher quantities which makes their production cheaper, and they'll sell way more of them.
While that is how economics works when referring to production costs, I doubt that is the real reason. There is truth no doubt but the difference in cost is not that great. I think it is more of there is less demand so there are less people making them, so there is less competition and they can get away with charging more.
I don't know why I am arguing with you. It is just semantics. Anyway, I find it annoying.
The real reason that iPad wires are so much cheaper than Transformer Prime wires is that a lot more companies make 3rd party iPad cables.
If you are in competition with a dozen other vendors of the same product, you drop the price to stay competitive and if enough companies are making a given product eventually the price drops to just above manufacturing cost.
Only one other company (that I can find) is making 3rd party Transformer cables, so as long as they price themselves lower than Asus's first-party cable they have no real pressure to drop their price lower.

I'm surprised, not even one vote for Monoprice.com?
It's the only website I ever go to for anything cable related.

LOL i actually came here to post this. here you have it, ladies and gentlemen. monoprice is the best for ALL cables. i give credit to sfhub on the epic 4g touch forums for telling me this
Monoprice is great but I did not find anything that you could tell was definitely the right one.
Does anyone know if the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 cables are compatible?
They look the same as the Asus cables in photos and they both seem to be based of of the PDMI standard. If the Galaxy Tab cables work, those are available from more locations and at more reasonable prices.

Are you looking for just a regular USB/micro-USB cable? I don't see why not.
I have plenty lying around, I can double check if you need anything in particular if you'd like.
The ATP has a proprietary USB port that requires its own special cable.

What i am currently using is a USB 3.0 extension cable i got off Amazon for 6 or 7 bucks if i recall correctly (bought i way back in my tf101 days). Plug one end into the charging block, plug the tfp cable into the other end. Mine snaps in snuggly and needs some force to disconnect (if you r worried about that sort of thing). Works perfectly.

Thanks for doing this. If you've never ordered from DealExtreme before, it takes a long, L O N G time for items to arrive. Close to 1 month is not all that uncommon. They will show up, but good gravy, they are darned slow.
