Monster Cables, Monster Scam
If you didn't know this already, stores make massive profits on cables and connectors. Most of these cost anywhere from 3 to 60 dollars for the store, but are sold from 19.99 to 179.99 or more!
There's just no way to get a good deal on cables from a regular retail outlet so buy them from an online outlet instead.
For a bonus, head over to the Consumerist for a full price sheet from Radio Shack showing their cost versus your cost on their stock of Monster brand cables.
