Hm....I wonder how much it's gonna cost to ship 4 tons of cables? Can't imagine UPS man bring 4 tons of cables up to my house. I live in da 2nd floor.

I really though this will go through....at most they will ship you 170 fts of cables....

Now is anyone here gonna call them up and ask you are expecting the cable weight 24lbs per foot?

 

[pbrain]

<< man, giving the UPS guy a heart attack will be worth the money. 165 x 24 lbs ~4000lbs :Q >>


LOL. free shipping on 4000lbs of stuff is crazy, I'm almost tempted.

 

[krackato]

Just went out of stock as I refreshed the page. Oh well...

 

[dpham00]

guess the morning crew just came in

 

[iownebay]

4000 lbs is not 4 tons, I wonder if some of the people on here ever went to school. 2000 lbs is a ton so 4000 is 2 tons.

 

[dpham00]

short or long?

 

[Cherylla]

No, We fixed it on NIGHT Shift.
But, thank you for bringing it to our attention

Your friends at Amazon.com

Others like it are still floating around in their system apparently. This one's 45 lbs.

 

[Healeydays]

not sure what Amazon & Monster is doing but look at the search for lowest to highest price. This isn't the only screwup. Looks like someone may loose a job over this one...

If you guys get this you are pretty lucky because the part is a 1000Ft spool of 16 guage speaker cable. Damn, I wish I had woke up earlier. Right now, it appears that I can not add any Monster products to my cart.

 

[tluu]

Whoops I am on crack, I was looking at something else that was 60 cents

 

[crazyjoekuta]

can't add any of the other mismarked monster cable items to cart... oh well.

 

[wesbc]

I could have had use some of the speaker cables..good luck to those who got their order in.

<< Bose is actually good stuff, it just costs 10x what it is worth. The same thing with Monster cable, except maybe only 3x what it is worth. This is a hot deal, that spool probably has at least 100 feet, maybe more, on it. So, after shipping this is at least 2/3rds off and maybe more. >>




Hhahahahahahahha, good and Bose in the same sentence? LOL.

You need to brush up on your comprehension skills. There is no place on this whole page where a single person equates 4000 lbs. to 4 tons. Someone says 4 tons but never once tries to convert it to lbs. Maybe they wanted to buy 333 spools.

Umm...you're wrong here, looks like YOU need to brush up on those comprehension skills you're talking about..

As you see, this person bought 170 of something, thinking that its "4 tons" but really 4000lbs or 2 tons...and saying worst thing that can happen is they'll send him 170 FEET not spools.
Anyway, his mistake is understandable. The whole US measuring system is out of whack. Metrics make sh*t so much easier. Maybe someone was thinking of metric system, cause everything is in powers of 10.
1000g=1kg
1000kg=1ton
1000ml=1L
etc etc. So don't jump on someone's back for mistakenly saying 4000lbs is 4 tons, its a little harder to comprehend why a ton would be 2000 lbs, i know i was shocked when I found out (in junior high )

If you guys want better cables, check Home Depot's RG6 QuadShield. Two braided layers, and two foils I think... Cleared up my interference problem.

If someone mistakenly converts 4000 lbs to 4 tons, or vice versa, this error would still not qualify as a poor "comprehension skill," which involves interpretation of language -- not mathematics or the meaning of individual words. I, myself, "wonder if some of the people on here ever went to school" especially those who put down others for now knowing the number of pounds in a ton.

[wuhoo]

haha they knocked almost all of the monster cable products offline so you cant order it
price mistakes seem to be happening a lot these days...

 

[iwearnosox]

I know you are but what am I?

 

[VaG]

kline d - even with your edit you still make no sense.

 

[Healeydays]

Anyone know Amazon's pricing mistake policy? Do they honor their prices or do they try other tactics like an unnamed company that the rumor is that they try to arrest you if you show up to pickup your item?

But if someone read through the thread, saw one person mention 4000 lbs, another mention 4 tons, and mistakenly thought that they were mentioned in the same post or by the same person, wouldn't that be a comprehension problem?

FWIW, I didn't order any and I hope they don't honor any of these -- it's a pretty obvious pricing error.
