HDMI Cable Scam

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.

    • I forgot about Burrow, he is elite when healthy.  
    • Solid in free agency, and lets not forget the draft--Most teams expect to get 2 starters/key contributors out of the draft.  3 is a banner year, but more common for bad teams.   Look at this draft: TMac.  Yes please.  Sorely needed since XL is becoming the road kill he often eats. DAY 2 Scourton.  Pay attention.  he is a stud and playing like one.  A second-round edge?  Rare. Princely.  He has flashed a bit, but he is developmental. Bothered by an ankle.   I expect him to step up, if he is going to, by year 3.  That is the year, if you think about it. we saw the emergence of Greg Hardy and Charles Johnson.  I have not seen him on the field much lately (injured?) but I noticed he was a liability vs. the run in the few plays I paid attention.  Too early to tell. DAY 3 Etienne.  As a returner and third RB, a key contributor for a fourth rounder. Ransom.  He has been contributing, and I have little doubt he will push Scott to pasture. Mitchell.  Perhaps Morgan's best pick.  A good blocking, pass catching TE with swag.  In round 5.  I think he is our best TE already. Horn.  They are finding ways to use him.  Yes, he reminds me of Steve Smith a bit during his first half season of his rookie year.  They did not really know what they had at that time.   Cam Jackson: A fifth rounder has not played much, but he was and is developmental.     
    • What job did he get done?   He was an albatross around the teams neck and they won despite him
