Not likely. The markup on such "incidentals" are where the retailers really make their margins. The actual hardware (tv, stereo, computer, etc..) are so competitive the markups are usually quite slim. Monster is a marketing machine and a well known brand name. The retailers can draw from this and make big $$$ selling them. I wouldn't use a Monster cable even if they were free (for the issues mentioned in this thread and other issues). But their target market of the uninformed and gullible will always be there to buy up their overpriced merchandise. Beyond doing what you are doing, spreading the word, there is little that can be done to get the big retailers to stop carrying such a brand. :( -- toby10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55787 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
