I just wanted to pass this information along and share with all you to spread the word. Power sellers on ebay are selling fake Monster cables and getting away with it. If any of you are thinking you can go on ebay and get an authentic Monster cable for under $100 bucks you're wrong, it's a scam. This is NOT an attack against Monster company.

The videos below expose the scam.

    I spend $200 at monoprice.com for speaker cables, HDMI, Wall-mounts, and banana-plug (45 cents each:eek:). I don't understand why people spend a lot of money on Monster cables. What's so special about them? When I bought Sony XBR4 at Magnolia Home Theater 2 years aog, the manager offered me $80 HDMI cables :eek:.:mad:
