    This is a good price for 10 metres, but really there's no reason to mention that stupid RRP.

    • Aids on 11/05/2013 - 17:21

      This is its actual normal price though and not some inflated number, regardless of how ridiculous it is. Next cheapest in oz is $169.
      If nothing else, its a fair indication it'll be built well.

          Lower specs? In what respect..?

        • [Deactivated] on 11/05/2013 - 20:05

          If anything the eBay listed cable is better spec'd as this is only v1.3 cable (max of 1080p/i).

        • g12345567 on 11/05/2013 - 21:28

          This is not a v1.3 cable but a HDMI high speed cable with ethernet(AKA v1.4) as it supports 3D, Ethernet and ARC which are not part of the v1.3 specs.

          Why does it say "Supported Formats: Up To 1080i & 1080p" in the OP then? v1.3 is only 1080i/p.

        • g12345567 on 12/05/2013 - 20:33

          If the OP has written High Speed + Ethernet then this hdmi cable should conform to that specification.

          Interesting to note that there are speaker cables of the same brand going for $14,049.75 - which is a real pity 'cos i have a strict $14k budget set for speaker cables. (Some very amusing reviews for these too).

    I'm conflicted. The RRP is insane. But the discounted price is good. I'd expect to pay $15-$20 for that sort of thing. So $5 good. $179 freakin' ludicrous. Mind explode.

          You need more experience then.

          Nothing wrong with the 'cheaper' cables and their connectors. Sure, going for the absolute dirt cheap ones is asking for trouble, but there is absolutely no way they can justify the RRP to begin with which is what you're trying to claim the price is obviously an indication of the quality, therefore it has to be better then cheaper cables. That is simply untrue.

          Also, who on earth even touches their HDMI cables all the time? Only time I've ever had to connect/disconnect mine when I've moved or gotten new equipment.

          If its anything, I AM industry, electronic technician, was an early digital VJ, did staging, lighting etc etc etc, studying mechatronic engineering atm and I know the value of decet cables and connectors. You need good quality - connectors made with pure plastics to fairly fine tolerances, decent purity copper and the right amount of it (a common place skimped), well made and well integrated boots - or longevity suffers badly.
          Thankfully for cheapies digital TV is designed to cover up a LOT of transmission error so you tend to only get small degradations, approximations, until it gets REALLY and you lose the lot lol

      This clearly does not fit into any of the approved situations, and the seller has clearly shown the RRP from an independant source. I dont like them overpricing any more than i like moster cables doing so, but it sure as heck isnt the sellers fault, and the deal is definitely a great deal.

          "Enjoy Coke" is advertising; "Enjoy Half-Price Coke" is a bargain, because of the discount. Pres. Clinton's arguing that this is just generic cola at generic cola prices; and therefore just an ad, not a bargain.

          I'd be curious what makes this cable so great that it's worth the massive premium over normal cables - the only testable features on the "tech specs" page are weight and length. There's no measures of signal degradation/interference resistance/fancy materials that would mark this out as worth a premium. It doesn't even say what version of HDMI it is. Shouldn't it be made out of Unobtanium or be hand-rolled by Tarvu priestmunties or something, to command that high RRP?

    rrp $179? seriously? quoting the rrp as a price comparison might be construed as misleading if you never sold them for that price http://www.accc.gov.au/consumers/prices-receipts/price-displ…

    "Businesses may also mislead consumers about prices if they: … advertise or promote ‘savings’ or ‘discounts’ in comparison to the recommended retail price (RRP) but the goods had never been previously sold at RRP, or the RRP does not reflect a current market price"

    • ZRXS12 on 11/05/2013 - 17:56

      "quoting the rrp as a price comparison might be construed as misleading if you never sold them for that price" The link says $179 so I'm not sure who's misleading you, yes it is expensive, but there will be people that will pay that…
      If it makes you feel better pay the full retail price :)

    You guys need to realise this is a 10m cable, and not your average 1m ebay special.

    HDMI cables tend to get exponentially more expensive the longer they get because need to be built to a higher quality to be able to transit the data over the longer distances.

    $5 is virtually giving the cable away for free - wish they would post it!
