You should just call this the accessories scam. The prices on all cabling, chargers, cases etc are ridiculous at stores like these. This can be as simple as the $25 usb cables.

The lure you in with decent prices (decent used liberally) and the sock it to you on all the things you need to make it work.

also, don't fall for the surround sound scam. sorry, but the human brain can only hear in stereo. nothing extra

You mean all my Quad LP records from the 70's are worthless? Peter Frampton in Quad! Now that rocks! :puke:

Try listening to Edgar Winter's "Frankenstein" in Quad! If you are the least little bit high when that starts circling around the room, (3:30 mark) your brain will go into sensory overload! In stereo it's something.

You'd actually be surprised how little markup there is in non-accessory electronics. I worked at Sears while I was in college and would often scan things with our inventory scanners just to see what the store's cost for them was. We often sold TV's for cost or less than cost. Many of them were marked up only $10-50. Accessories are usually marked up several hundred percent.

I made only 1% commission on televisions, but 9% on accessories, so I made more money selling a $200 wall mount than a $1500 television.

      The successful teams in the NFL right now have one thing in common: Patience. Not just with their QB, but with every facet of the program. There are going to be successes and failures, but no one panics and makes reactive decisions. Look at the Eagles, the Bills, the Ravens, the Packers, and hell, even the (newly successful) Lions. All of them showed patience with their QB's growth, let their coaches do their jobs, have drafted well, developed their own players, and plugged holes in their roster and organization with players and situations that made sense. That's what we need. And if that isn't what we have now, we need to make moves to get it there. If that means they need to blow it up to start over, then blow it up and start it over the right way. If that means to change their approach from top to bottom, change it now. But the blueprint of success is out there in the league, teams just think they know better, or they don't have the discipline to follow through.

      X was drafted too early, needs refinement and is playing out of position. We knew this. What's the issue? Personally, I think he will be fine. Just needs more time.
