$40 for 6' of wimpy-looking white Belkin? Kiss my ass, Best Buy. :fawk:

$7.50 from Amazon for 3 m. :agreed:

Best Buy - where people who don't know what the internet is buy computer supplies.


Having said that, their TV selection is top notch. Their Insignia brand of HDTVs is inexpensive and frigging awesome.

No shit. I even got this straight from Amazon, not from one of the 3rd party dealers.

Best Buy = Nearly all accessories are overpriced and "spiffed". Anyone who ever worked retail will know what that means.

Cables have to be one of the biggest rip offs in retail.

I even tried Walmart for some HDMI cables. I think the cheapest was about $40! :fawk:

Screw that. I ordered off the web and got them for about $5 each. :yesway:

I worked there for a while. Better than Circuit City was though!

My friend worked at geek squad and said the cables cost the GP about 10 times as much as they can buy them for.

I had no choice but to pay, like, $20 for a few feet of CAT5 at Circuit City (or, rather, The Source: By Circuit City :ugh earlier in the summer. I'm swimming in those cables at home, but I wasn't told it was cable-only internet at my hotel prior to arriving. Serves me right, I suppose.

I felt so violated.

When I worked at Best Buy, the $30 USB cables were on sale to employees (who got them at 2% over warehouse price) for around $1.50.
