Hi,
Why so expensive to get a vendor ID from USB.org?
I get the internet domain name for just about US$10.
I just want to use one PID for our USB product.
Is there another cheaper method to legally get one vendor and product ID pair?

Ask the supplier of your USB chips if they hand out PID's. I know FDTI does. If you use their chips, you can use their VID and you get a block of PID's on request, for free.

Yes - this guy bought an allocation from the USB people and is selling small chunks of PIDs :
Also, for products like the FTDI chips, the manufacturers hold their own PID blocks, and will give you individual ID's, or even small blocks, for free, if you can show that there is a 'reasonable' target sale.
Best Wishes
Does anyone do this for PCI?

Does anybody purchase PIDs from this web?
