Cheapest I'm finding these for is about $15-$16 each. Would love to find some for > $10. Are these just too new to go that cheap?

$15-16 is > $10 :p

8643 based cables of any-type are more $$ since they're relatively new compared to the years and years of the 8087.

My suggestion; don't search for "cable type to cable type". Instead you want to find LSI, Adaptec, SuperMicro, etc... Model #s and search by those as those are much more likely what the IT REcyclers list the items as :)

Lol good catch.

Yea I've tried that. Found some for $14 with free shipping on Newegg so I think that's as good as I'm gonna get right now.
