Obviously, just fishing for customer info for new customers, because it's "limit 1 per customer".

Still, a deals a deal I suppose. Seems like a waste to order something in just qty. 1 though. To me, at least.

Not currently sold out, although they mention a slightly extended delivery time. Maybe they're trickling them out, and ordering more in bulk as individual orders pile up?

The deal is back!

Edit: OOS again, they went pretty quickly, of course.

Can't have too many cables, so in for my 1. During purchase also offered 50 disposable masks for $15, which is pretty cheap.

Heh, I ordered one even though I don't have anything with hdmi. For 50 cents and FS, it's a good addition to the junk box. Never know when it might come in handy.

In my experience, bargain basement HDMI cables are often sketchy, esp. for 4K stuff. Often they work, but they frequently have or develop problems in some setups at higher resolutions.

This is less of a concern for short cables though. It's most commonly seen in the longer cables (more than 10 feet).

EDIT:

I just checked their reviews. It turns out out of 2 reviews, one indicated failure at 4K.

I connected this from my XBOX 1X to my 4K LG and the video would flicker and the sound would go in an out. Especially when a game was being played. I changed the cable to another and the issue stopped. I wouldn't use this cable further to pass 4k content. Into the cable bin it goes. Thankfully it was only 50 cents.

So, there ya go. Don't buy this cable. I'd rather spend $10-15 on a decent cable than gamble on el cheapo ones, because it's not worth the potential time wasted with troubleshooting. Costco for example often sells decent cables for say $15 for a 2-pack. They may not be high end boutique cables, but they are much, much, much more reliable than the dollar store class cables.
