I recently purchased a Monster M1000-HDMI cable from an Ebay seller. The listing was for a new cable under a Buy-It-Now or Best Offer format. Seller accepted an offer for $40 and I was delighted to get something that typically sells for $100+ for less than half the price! Once the item arrived, I knew why I got it so cheap - it was a cable that was probably from the seller's C-grade stock of cables! The HDMI ports were crushed and would not fit into the TV's HDMI ports. Seller refused to refund my money and Paypal didn't do anything about it either because the seller had good feedback!
Please be careful who you purchase these cables from - if you're looking for Monster cables, you obviously own a high-end HDTV - don't ruin it with these cheap cables! Buy from a trusted source!
