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.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      Are you arguing that his height deficiencies and footwork within the pocket have not been a present issue clearly seen on his game tape particularly in the games he struggled in? Because that's simply denying what everyone in this fanbase who have watched the games have seen. It's interesting how hardline BY fans here quickly and effortlessly pivot from whailing about being victimized to becoming the aggressor and hurling out allegations of bias and hatred. And at the end of the day while Bryce Young clearly improved significantly from the first two games of the season the reality of the situation is he still finished 42nd in yards per pass attempt behind Mac Jones and tied with Caleb Williams and 38th in passing yards per game behind the likes of Gardner Minshew Aidan O'Connell Drake Maye and Will Levis. Furthermore it took Bryce Young 23 games to surpass Panthers legend Kyle Allen's 13 games worth of passing yardage in 2019. So if your argument is he became a head and shoulders better passer over the course of the second half of the season the reality is we're still waiting to see that growth this season. And there is nothing controversial or vitriolic about saying so in the mind of a rational

      Cam regularly threw for less than 200 yards and nobody questioned he was elite. He averaged 219 yds per game for his career.  You seem to be way too hung up on yards as a stat.  By that definition Jameis Winston should have been MVP by now.

      So... what metrics for production do you believe display these issues/limitations best? Are we only using total passing yards, height, and weight thresholds? If so, then what are those thresholds?
