Freecom Digital TV DVB-T USB Stick; missing MCX-IEC Connector

We have just received a Freecom Digital TV DVB-T USB Stick Freeview receiver which we purchased of Ebay for a great price.
It's in really good condition and in the original box etc with manuals and software cd. However it is missing the adaptor to connect the aerial lead to the USB stick.
Have been in touch with the seller who says he thought the unit was complete. He then decided firstly to refund some money to my Paypal account and second, suggest I buy an adaptor myself. To help me, he sent me link to an Ebay equivalent from Hong Kong.
Having told him I didn't like that plan he has offered to give me full refund and to return it to him.
However I was thinking if I could get the adaptor locally then I would keep the receiver rather than go through the hassle of returning it and then bidding on another and so on.
I had a look at Maplins but couldn't see one and had bit of an unsuccessful Google around.
So I was wondering if any one knew where I could get an MCX-IEC Connector.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

I found a couple of places that can supply the MCX plugs if that helps.
