Okay, so I needed a DVI - HDMI converter cable to connect my computer to a TV. So I just google search it, find a cheap price on Amazon. But the thing is, when I go to the page, this normally $30.00 cable costs $0.06 (USD). At first, I'm like... WHAT? So I keep refreshing, thinking it might be some bug or something, but it doesn't change. So I put in a order and get it for $3.53, after shipping.

The thing is, I keep looking around, and it turns out other items are obscenely underpriced. Examples:
Item 1
Item 2

What do you think?
If it's legit, have fun saving some money on random items. If not, I hope I wasn't a victim of phishing -_-.

This is legit, I've bought cables from them before. Probably inventory clearance or something.
So say we all.

cables are ridiculously overpriced almost everywhere you buy them. Used to work at Best Buy and like 30 dollar printer cables had an at cost price of like 50 cents.

Go for that man def seems legit to me.

The first example item was from eforcity. I recently purchased some printer ink from them, a full set (large black cartridge, cyan, magenta, yellow) for about $20, when a full set runs 50+ in a store like Fry's. It's not official Canon ink, but I haven't had any problems with it thus far.

At black friday last year when i got my TV there was a sales guy going up and down the TV line selling a Monster pack w/ like a surge protector and hdmi cable for ~130$ I did my best to tell everyone in my vicinity that you can buy an hdmi cable for 2$ online and surge protector for 5-10 because i hate companies that extort people for money from ignorance
how reasonable is it to eat off wood instead of your tummy?

that is normal price when you factor in the S&H (bit of a bait and switch). Consequently, I need this thing really bad. Thanks
