The original poster is precisely correct from my experience.

The only time I purchased a cable online was when I bought someone a gift that required the HD cable.

All the other times, we ran around the corner to Shopko and paid whatever their price was because we had a new HD system setup and wanted it in HD. Now.

I really don't think it's a casual purchase for most people, and I certainly never considered buying more than one at a time.

Also, when you're buying a $3,000 TV, $100 for the cables doesn't seem that bad, relatively speaking.

And when you've paid $150 dollars for a disneyland park hopper pass, that $12 slice of pizza and small soda doesn't seem that bad either, but you're still being taken to the cleaners.
