    Combing eBay and setting up alerts for either for a M17 partout or the cable are probably your best bet these days.

    I took them as they were the only decent ones out there, literally nothing else that was viable.
    The guy selling that is legit but he is charging arm and a leg for the shipping, an outrageous 60 dollars or so for shipping to my country and he refuses to pick a different shipping method and the low price of the cable has me VERY suspicious because they usually go for three times that price.

    What country do you live in? I don't mind buying it and then shipping it out to you at cost. I can get you a quote on shipping.

    Thank you for the offer, I might just bite the bullet and pay him the extra shipping costs seeing how he refuses to ship it untracked which is sort of understandable.
