"Almost impossible"??????????

I just did a search on "apple y-cable" and there are 3 on ebay 
now.

One for the cable for $78
One for the cable and card for $99
One for the cable, the IIe card, a Joystick and a 5.25 Disk Drive 
for $219 starting bid.

Its a scarce item, so the prices are commensurate with scarcity.
