Printer cable RIPOFF
I picked up a nice printer at Best Buy that was on sale and needed a new cable a little longer and they were in the high $20 almost $30 range... I was not in a rush for the cable so waited....
There is no reason they cost that much,, total gouge....
Got home and hit Newegg.com,,, I picked one up that was like $3 with free shipping.... It had like 56 reviews that were almost all really good.....
Just a heads up,,,,

BestBuy typically makes very little on electronics but pulls in massive margins on accessories. I always point to their $89 monster cable branded HDMI that's been proven to be no better than a $5 HDMI from monoprice.com.
