Hi, do you guys know where can I buy cheap DB25 (D-Sub 25 pin) male

these will be connected to computer's parallel port.

I need around 50 or 100 of them, based on the price. Thanks!

Thanks

Almost any decent electronic supply shop should have those.
Or you could buy cables ready-made and customize from there.

Yes, I know. But I want cheap ones. Most places sell them at least USD
0.7 per pair. so I'm looking for cheaper ones. Thanks

Personally, I think 70 cents _is_ pretty cheap, but good luck.

anecdote:

There used to be a place called Olsen Electronics in Detroit when I
lived there. They had really cheap parts. Some of the parts tended
to melt when soldered. Cheap isn't always a good thing. ;-)

The connector is pretty easy to find relatively cheap.

The housing is another story. 70c is really a good price for both of
them, specially in such small quantities.

That's one of the reasons Olsen went out of business in the early
'80s! :) They were based in Akron Ohio and tried to expand too fast.

Long time no hear from you, Mike. Glad to see you're still alive and
kicking. ;-)
