Tony,

Depends on where you shop.  But the bottom line is that your coaxial 
input is for
Radio Frequency (RF) and the 3 cables is composite video and audio.  So you'll
have to have something to take the 3 cables as input and give you an RF output.

Radio Shack has something for about $28:

That's cheaper than the $40 that you say your retailer is trying to sell you.

You might also want to look on eBay, but the shipping will probably kill you.

If you have a radio shack, or Audio Video shop, etc around your area, check
with them.  They may have something for less than $40.
