Yeah it's such a scam, I remember back in College when I sold Electronics for Sears we would sell TV's (there were no plasmas or LCD's at the time) and the TV's we would sell practically for cost. Where the money was made was on the stands! We would sell Sony TV stands for $300+++ it was crazy! The stands probably cost $15 in wood and were all disassembled, you had to put them together yourself!

We used to carry Monster Cable as well and I would tell people to their face that they were crazy if they spent money on them. You could go to Radio Shack in the mall and pick up the same damn wires without the monster cable logo on them for 90% less.

I see the same things now with Plasma wall mounts, they are $200+ in most cases and the wiring is way more expensive than it was.

I guess these electronics companies got to make money somewhere.
