Money Matters- I : $42.59 Vs $2.48
I recently purchased a printer. When I opened the box, I understand why the price is low, there wasnt any USB cable. Well, another 5 bucks I thought.
Much to my surprise, the cables costed 39.99+tax, which I wasnt happy about, but at the same time, lazy to pack and return the printer, I bought the cable for 42.58. Later I want to compare my price and while googled found a cable online for $1.79+0.69 shipping = $2.48, which is less than the sales tax I paid on the other cable. The cable arrived, worked fine and I returned my 39.99+2.60 cable back.
No major stores like circuit city, Best Buy, Radio Shack etc, had USB cable for less than $40, when someone could sell the same online for $1.79 !!?!

tamilponnu, welcome to my blog!
Seriously, i didnt get how this is possible ?is that cable used one?
seems like you are comparing saravana stores to spencers plaza ?
am not sure about the quality ?!
@prabhu: Its a new USB 2.0 cable. It just didnt have the shiny black plastic shield like I bought from the store, instead had a dull white cover. Otherwise, it works good and I find no fault. One of my friend said it might have low resistivity. But its just for home use and its worth the deal.
You should have got two then
