i bought mine used at EBgames. it was about $10, compared to $40 new, but it didn't come with the gender changer. that didn't matter to me because my 21" CRTs have removeable cables (and thus have female ports in the back) and i already have a gender changer. i can say, i went hunting for a gender changer for a friend, and they were hard to come by. even the local computer shops didn't have them, and they told me that people never even come looking for them.
