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 think it's more related to the difference between proven talent and projected talent. Our proven talent is quite literally almost nonexistent. Our projected talent could be significantly more. Obviously, it remains to be seen how many DJ Moore's we get and how many TMJ's(not making this position specific, just giving examples of clear progression of careers and talent being realized versus not). This could be an exceptionally terrible, underwhelming, okay, fairly decent, surprisingly good, etc roster. All that has to play out on the field because our known entities in terms of above average caliber NFL players is paltry but most standards. All that digital bloviating to basically say, "Show me." As for Tepper, I genuinely don't think he has meddled that much less and I don't think he has stepped back. I think he just cleaned house of most of the people chirping about it internally while not making himself so publicly visible because he is very aware of the meme he has made himself and this franchise. IMO, he will continue to fug this franchise over because that is who he is as a person.

      Also Walker is a game time decision. He might not be able to play tonight.
