USB cables have to be the most profitable items for retailers.

Yep we charge 29.99 for a 6 Footer and our cost is $1.00....gotta love that markup

And for some reason, we've been charging even more for the Geek Squad ones....because they say Geek Squad on them.

just don't pay them in $2 bills.

Nice. I was once in a pinch and actually paid ~$6 for a 3' (yes, three) ethernet cable there

That is one of the blackest marks on my computing record.

How do you expect to have a robot So clone made if you make such poor purchasing decisions?

Computer cables are always ridiculous prices at retail stores.
