Hey folks, me again, the $2 day was so successful a couple of months ago I had to wait till I had good amounts of everything before posting it again. I have seven different things for you, all for $2 each.

Something that's super important (to me) if you are purchasing multiple items, can you please click the "Continue Shopping" link in the check out and keep shopping rather than checking out for each individual item, the reason for this is that Paypal not only charges a percentage of the transaction but also a per transaction fee and it would make it cheaper for me and also incidentally make it so you don't have to checkout multiple times. If you could do that that would be super.

The link in the title is to my eBay store, the links below are to the products directly:

There's plenty of other stuff available in the store as well, usb cables for the chargers and whatnot. Anyway, any questions, just put em here and I will do my best to answer :-)

Cheers and thanks again for your support,

Brent

    I've got a pair of logitech UE 4000 with microphone built in. But it's a single cable for the audio and microphone. Do you have a splitter so i can plug i the audio and mic into my pc?

    • Store Repbrentsbits @ Brents Bits on 21/04/2013 - 00:58

      no, it doesn't work like that, you need the two separate plugs, one for the microphone input and the other for the headphone output. sorry I can't help :-)

      PlayerOne, I just had a quick search for a cable for you thinking it'd be fairly easy but they seem to be unobtainium. After a few minutes I manage to find this so I hope it helps: http://www.showmecables.com/product/iPhone-Head-Set-Breakout…

      I'm surprised they're not easier to find as you'd assume lots of people would want to do this hey. Odd.

      • PlayerOne on 21/04/2013 - 11:14

        I'm lookin for something with 1 female socket and 2 male plugs so i can plug it into my PC. SteveAndBelle found just the exact item im looking for!

        That website seems so expensive thought. $10 for item + $20 shipping. Brent stock this item for us please.

    • muzzamo on 21/04/2013 - 09:11

      Here you go, $2.80. I found it by searching for "iPhone splitter" on eBay.

      I use this splitter all day long at work and it works fine.

          I don't think that this one will do the job, I have those splitters in my own inventory BUT what he was after was a cable that would allow him to plug both the headphones and microphone into the same socket, but if you plug them into a single socket on the PC, it's either the headphone out socket or the microphone in socket which means that whichever socket it's plugged into won't be able to take the other line's input or output because it's not geared to do so.

          I could be wrong but I don't think the 3.5mm plugs and cables are bidirectional.

          The first one that SteveAndBelle linked bears further investigation though. I would be very curious as to how it worked.

        • chansthename on 21/04/2013 - 10:43

          No pretty sure he just wanted to be able to use both the headphones and mic with his PC (and using 2 plugs to do that isn't a problem)

        • AusGaz on 21/04/2013 - 11:13

          The one muzzamo just posted is just a double adapter thing as brent (I'm assuming thats his name) said.

          This is the one you need. Much cheaper than the one SteveandBelle was able to find.
          http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/3-5mm-Mic-Stereo-Audio-Y-Splitter…

          Just search for something like '3.5mm mic splitter' on ebay. I just ordered one myself yesterday. Notice that it splits one female 3.5mm jack into 2 male which are labelled as headphones and mic which you plug into the computer, not the other way round like the one posted above.

        • Store Repbrentsbits @ Brents Bits on 21/04/2013 - 11:15

          I could be wrong but I think he wants to go the other way, two plugs from his headphones to a single plug on his computer

      OK, I don't want to be rude but that's currently the lowest price on eBay, what more do you want? Also, this isn't a thread for you to beat me down on price. I have discounted seven different items for you to choose from.

      If you want a deal, I have 3 for $7.50 but otherwise have a bit of respect for my business.

      They might get discounted in the future, they might not but currently the price is as listed.

He'd be lucky to make a $1.00, not forgetting handling time and getting it from his house to the Aussie Post mailbox !!!

          Very difficult to deal with sometimes though just because of the language barrier. As in "I would like this done this way please" "Yes, totally, we can do that for you, here it is" "that's not really what I wanted" "Please pay us for it anyway".

          All he really needs to do is find a nice ecommerce CMS, most of them have a good payment system options which can be added (ranging from paypal to direct deposit and everything in between). Design wise he could just get someone to make one for it once hes got the shop set up and running.

      Economy of scale. Australia post offers a discount on bulk orders for packaging (apparently up to 60%) and the items would be purchased direct from china (through something like aliexpress which has similar 3.5mm cords for between $0.30 and $0.50 shipped). The margins would still be quite slim though.

    Just bought a couple more things I needed. Have bought from Brentsbits before and delivery was quick and quality was good especially for the price paid.

    Picked up the HDMI adaptors. Very handy to have, and nice price. Thats for the heads up. I didn't even know that I wanted them until I saw them here (Still not sure what I will need them for yet, but I am sure they will come in handy).
