Always off trademe. So much cheaper than any stores. Purchased two 3 metre v1.4 cables for $4.15 each.

PB tech ones have nice low profile cables and connectors, have bought quite a few over the years.
$10.29 for 2m cable.

Trademe if you don't mind waiting.

Pbtech if you want to visit bricks and mortar.

The 12 or so I got from Dick Smith for 50c each at Xmas should last me for the rest of my life!

 

At the end of the day what do you consider to be "reasonable"? I think the prices charged by big name retailers such as PB Tech are pretty reasonable.
