Oculus Scalpers are insane

I've been watching oculus's website for weeks trying to get a replacement Optical Cable for my Rift-S. It has not come back in stock for well over a month, that I have noticed. The amazon link just recently had some in stock but they cost nearly as much as a whole new VR headset. Anyone have news on how long this scalping crud is going to last? Or any alternate way to use an Oculus Rift-S without the oculus brand cable?

Imagine scalpers be so insane to run ad campaigns for scalped products?

A type C cable with a right angle adapter and an active USB extender. You wont be able to charge at full speed during normal use but itll allow you to use oculus link without the remote desktop app.

Type C Cable (i know someone will recommend a better one, this is just for reference sake)

Right Angle Adapter

Extender (again, better ones are available and im sure people will rightfully point me out)

I am human. I'm scared of the dark, and I get toothaches. My name is Frill. Don't pretend not to see me. I was born from the two of you.

It's a rift s. Not a quest.

Well it started around the time humans started exchanging items of fixed value for goods and services… We haven’t fixed it yet.
