    I hear you Harold. It may be unethical but not illegal. Like those HTML/VB developers of the 90s charging 200 bucks an hour for work that required the intellect and knowledge of a trained 6 year old. :-D

      You're still getting ripped off. Buy them a week in advance from monoprice[^] for a fraction of that price.

      After shipping, does it really matter?

        I buy my HDMI cables for $15 at a local electronics store.

          Base rate shipping for a 3' HDMI cable bumped the price from about $2.50 to $5. Monoprice runs a very lean operation. Edit: Unless you're already at the store once you factor in time/gas money even next day shipping (+$20) is arguably cheaper for one cable. Adding additional cables only added an extra buck fiftyish/cable or less at all shipping rates; so unless you need them today monoprice is cheaper for bulk orders even if after factoring in next day shipping costs.
