NCE usb for cheap?
Posted by BNSF UP and others modeler on Sunday, April 1, 2018 11:04 PM

I want to get an NCE usb, but $40 is more than I woud like to pay. It seems expensiveCrying. Is there any way to get it cheaper?

I'm beginning to realize that Windows 10 and sound decoders have a lot in common. There are so many things you have to change in order to get them to work the way you want.

That is not an unusual price. I searched the Internet and that is the going price I see so far.
Even ebay has no better price.

Try a Google search for nce usb programmer.

One place showed $37.95 but what is S&H?

Even Amazon sells it.

I did some looking around also, and unless you have some way of inventing your own interface, you'll have to pay the price, which I think is cheap.

The Digitrax PS4 that I bought was close to $80.

I don't understand what your crying about.

MSRP = 49.95$...discounted price = 38.95$ and 39.99$ based on the two vendors that I like to use.  So, 40$ +/- is about right.

S&H = shipping and handling.
