...most stores charge ripoff prices, because that's where they're making all their money. You need to go to a specialized cable store (or visit one online) to get better deals, at least if you're looking for rock-bottom prices. Most big cities have at least one specialist cable store. If you're not near a big city, however, you'll have to do business online if you want the best deals.
