Hay, I get a 5% commision for selling monster cables. That $125 cable is 90%+ margin (I get them for something like $8), and when I dupe some dude into getting one with his $4,000 52" 1080p LCD, thats another $6 in my pocket. That being said, there would be no frickin' way I would pay full price for any cable, USB, A/V, Firewire, etc. They're all 80%+ margin retail.

Monster is actually some of the worst margin accessories. It's not 90% plus, it's like 60-70%, Monster rips off the companies too. Now some other cable companies are well over 90% like Belkin etc....

I'll have to look it up tomorrow when I go to work (7 hours ) but I know the margin on all cables are frickin' insane. Belkin USB cables are like $2.86 for 10 feet.

Enjoy I know how it is, worked retail over 6 years. Get out before you ever hit that time I finally got out this year.

Aside from the health concerns, I don't see any drawbacks of lead solder there.

They have returned HDMI Monster cables at my local CompUSA that were originally $129.99... opened, they are marked down to $50.00.

They NEVER mark something down that low if it is opened. Most things they discount 10% if it is opened. These cables must have a huge markup if they mark it down over 60% off...

Oh, BTW... I bought one of the $7 ($9.39 after shipping) HDMI cables today.

So will this air come in cans, or will it be some sort of filtration system?

Cans. It's leftovers from the depleted oxygen cables.

Nice. Monster has always been at the forefront of ecological thinking. This Oxygen recycling program really makes me believe that Monster is thinking about the future.
