I bet best buy and office depot still have $15 as the minimum price for a cable. Last time I really needed an ethernet cable and everything but office depot was closed.... I paid like $15 for a 6' cable.

I think that's just the best buy/office depot "minimum price"

Fry's is one of those places that targets, well, me; They are more expensive than monoprice, but not by so much that I would delay a project to get the monoprice price.

I think they are pretty good at pricing high enough that they are making some money (I mean, I /expect/ to pay more in person) but low enough that I can still go in and buy a hundred cables for a project without it being thousands of dollars.

oh man, I remember back when my only keyboard failed during my shift (i work from home) and I had to rush out to Staples to get a short-term replacement. There wasn't any available option under $80.

Though I should just shut up. I use a Topre Realforce now and most would consider the cost to be excessive.
