Buying some "small stuff"

[MetalheadGautham]

I'm going to SP Road and National Market (bangalore) today and/or tomorrow and am on the hunt for some small purchases all totaling to under 1K.

Things include:

1. Bluetooth USB Adapter
2. USB Hub to split 1 USB port into many
3. Many-in-one card reader (better if its integrated with USB hub)
4. Blank DVD's
5. A pendrive for testing (will take the cheapest stuff from national market)
6. Data Cable for Nokia 5130 XpressMusic
7. Data Cable for Nokia 2323 Classic
8. A cheap pair of 3.5mm jack earphones
9. An earphone jack splitter for my laptop - to split one 3.5mm jack into two 3.5mm jacks
10. 3.5mm jack to 2.5mm jack converter
11. Nokia thin pin to phat pin adapter
12. Nokia thin pin to samsung GT1410 type new pin adapter

Though I may not buy all the above stuff.....

Anyway, can you guys please suggest expected prices for these and how much I can bargain ??

One thing I would like to aware you that, the USB hub u buy, check if its high speed.

I threw at least three such hubs 1-to-4 as they were not recognizing as high speed when plugged into PC, any USB drive I plug in, one message comes "This USB could perform better...."

Now bought one "Belkin" 1-to-4 hub @350/- or something I guess, and its working fine.

b/w, this is the product I'm talking about.

Prices in Kolkata, Do tell your prices for the components you buy, I'd love to know as these small things are not discussed often

Am nearing majestic... National Market a brief walk away. I am carrying my laptop with me to test the components incase they are duds. But mostly I won't buy much today. Just check prices...

[Cool Buddy]

Please give the prices, I want to compare it with Bangalore as it is possible for me to source components from there if it is cheaper.

Nokia 2323's data cable. That guy started at 150. I was like WTF. Went down to 80 but then didn't buy it since I felt the actual cost must be a lot lower.. What should I pay for a data cable ?

[Cool Buddy]

If you go to nokia priority, they will start at 300-400. I think 80 was OK

[MetalheadGautham]

Hmmm.... Fine then. Maybe I'll buy it the coming saturday.
This time I ended up buying only electronic components (OP-AMP 741C, a handful of LED's, some diodes, four transistors and a breadboard to experiment on).
