Customers Gleefully Mock Best Buy's $1,095.99 HDMI

"It may be a pricing bot run amok, or a ridiculously over-inflated sense of worth, but Best Buy has been offering an HDMI cable for a whopping $1,095.99 (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/AudioQuest+-+Diamond+3.3'+High-Speed+HDMI+Cable+-+Dark+Gray/Black/2383276.p;jsessionid=310CCC6FDFA4F4B48027114FF363F 3FC.bbolsp-app04-32?id=1218324437192&skuId=2383276#BVRRWidgetID)(currently sold out!). While Best Buy seems to be oblivious to the absurdity of this price for a digital cable, those posting customer reviews are not. Enjoy the mockery!"One of my favorites is: "saved a ton of money on a new TV on black Friday and decided to use the extra cash to get the best cable available. At a whopping 3.3 feet in length, this cable is no joke. When all my friends come over to watch football, they always say 'WOW what kind of HDMI cable do you have?' I proudly tell them about my audioquest diamond and its advanced features such as its Dark Gray/Black finish. It is a great conversation piece! Not to mention it fits into my dvd player and tv perfectly."

$1,100 for an HDMI cable? Must be another Monster branded with a price tag like that. No one's gonna buy that for sure.

They limit you to five... I want 10, but the shipping is obviously too high. http://files.chud.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

I think the actual price, is $10.95 (or $10.99). But someone made the mistake of typing 1095, then without hitting backspace, typed 99 and then the auto pricing made it $1,095.99 and didn't question whoever did it.
