Great HDMI cable
shmokes:
Yeah, seriously. If you sell even one cable you are more profitable than Monoprice after selling two hundred cables.
My problem is with Best Buy. What kind of company cares so little about customers and its own image that it would actually participate in a scam like this?

I lay the blame more on AudioQuest but how could Best Buy sell these with a straight face? I applied for a job at Best Buy years ago and I suppose I'm glad I didn't get it. If I were forced to sell these to customers, I would have quit.
If you Google AudioQuest, you'll see any criticism of the ridiculous pricing and dubious claims are met with emails from the very defensive company president littered with meaningless buzz words.

on a side note, my brother used to work at Circuit City and he said that customers used to try and haggled with him, "Well I saw the same model for less at the nearby Best Buy" to which he would reply, "Well, you should probably go get it over there".
Anyways, the sales people probably don't make anything off selling you an hdmi chord so if they're really pushing for that then it's because they don't know other options or they are forced to offer it.

From some accounts I've read, the employees are more or less expected to move the cables or expect to have their hours cut and hassled by management. So if the salesman is really pushing for you to buy an overpriced cable (sometimes going so far as being insulting), it's because his job may literally depend on it.
