best buy, circuit city, and other major retail stores charge as much as 10 times higher than what is really cost to fool consumers into thinking it\'s made from very high, expensive, quality material when it\'s actually very cheap to manufacture and the value is again, 5 to over 10 times less than what\'s really worth.
why did they charge that much? profit motives. Say if the cable is only cost $1 to manufacture, and the wholesale usually sell it at double the amount of $2, and the retail like best buy should sell it at $4. Where half the profit goes to best buy and the other half goes to the manufacturer.
But what if the manufacturer like monster cables convince best buy to sell it 10 times higher than what\'s really worth? That means both best buy and monster cables, each will make 10 times the profit instead of the usual 2 times profit.
Like this, 10 times the amount of 4 dollars is 40 dollars. Where $20 will goes to best buy and the other $20 goes to Monster Cables.
that means the CEO of monster cables is filthy rich living in luxury and what not. You can say that Best Buy is also making unfair profit too on accessories like cables.
Don\'t be fool by the look of the cable either. Sometimes they make the cables look fancy, colorful, and different on the outside, but the inside is just like any other cheap cables. Sometimes they over design the look on the outside that the plug is too tight or maybe too loose that it won\'t fit on the connector. I honestly had encounter that with my 3 foot RCA coaxial cable made from monster cable where the ring is a bit too tight that it wouldn\'t insert all the way in.
