The usb kit quoted is about 8£

Thats at the very low end. You would normally pay a lot more
than that, so you arent comparing like with like prices wise.

It might be low end but it's the NEW Selling price..
Yes you normally would pay a lot more than that,

So you arent comparing like prices with like.

and you would normally pay about 20£ for a nic through
the dealers that would sell that usb kit at a high price too.

Bull****. There are plenty selling basic 10/100
NICs for a lot better than that stupid price.

if you could get say 3.50£ for a nic (each) and 1£ for the cable

Corse you can, and a lot less than that too.

and it would be the same..
But You'll end up paying about what..
6£ for a nic and 1.50£ for the cable..
That's of course assuming rock bottom prices, as a
local computer shop will charge 5-10£ for the cable..

There's plenty of sources of cables for a lot less than that.

Show me a source for cat5 (with ends
and new) Cables for sell at less than 1£..

I was commenting on your stupid 'a local
computer shop will charge 5-10£ for the cable..'

Show me these nic's (new) for less than 3.50£

I am VERRY interested to see it

You're using a bogus price for the USB2 networking.
