I have been selling lots of PCIe extenders on Bitmit, and I think the forum users could use a heads up.

Prices start at 2.69 USD (currently 0.003 BTC), shipping is free to anywhere in the world. Click the images to see the corresponding listing at Bitmit.

Good price, what is estimated shipping time to the US?

Shipping will normally take 1-2 weeks, but it can take longer.

what length are they?

The cables are about 15 cm. 19 cm all in all. It's in the description of the individual item listings.

Are the 1x - 1x extenders cut to allow for x16 cards?

I'm interested in this as well.

No, they are not. The extenders are brand new from the factory.

Currently out of 1X-16X extenders, working to secure a new supplier for those as they are very useful for mining.

EDIT: Found a new supplier  :D

You don't have to cut it - takes too long. It takes a few seconds with a soldering iron by melting the plastic.

The easiest way is to use a ready-made 1X-16X extender. It also protects the rest of the PCIe-connector on the GPU card.

Do you need some sort of power supply to power the card? For example, the 6870.

I'm actually not sure, as I haven't mined with those cards myself. Anyone?

Is it safe to have 4 cards hooked up to a board using these?  With it screw up the board with all the power its sucking or will everything be okay?

The majority of the power to the GPU cards comes directly from the PSU. Get a good PSU with enough PCI express power connectors and you are good to go for most cards. However, some cards require extra power over the PCI-e slot (from the motherboard). That's where you might get into trouble.

this place is going to be the new ebay soon

The 16x extenders (https://www.bitmit.net/en/item/8502-pcie-16x-flexible-extender&ref=1836) are now available for shipping from my US warehouse. This should speed things up considerably for my US customers.
