So ended up with a $25 Best Buy gift card and was looking around their website for a trinket, and in the USB Cables section I find this little gem:

 

 

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/AudioQuest+-+5%26%2339%3B+USB+A-to-Mini+USB+Cable+-+Black/Gray/4022503.p?id=1218449985886&skuId=4022503#tab=overview

 

 

The whole series of USB-> Mini USB appears to have the same insane pricing.  I sorta get audiophiles wanting insanely "pure" cables, but we are talking about a 5' USB to Mini USB for $699.99.  Not sure how much more "pure" a digital signal shall get over this cable.

Please say you are joking.

Life is pain. Anyone who says any different is either selling something or the government.

What's great about it: Turbocharges your phone
What's not so great: NOTHING
So I was in the market for a new USB Cable to charge my phone as my old one was just taking too dang long. I bought this and boy it didn't let me down. Not ONLY did it take about 15 seconds to charge my fully dead phone it allowed me to pick up full bars 5G while connected with it. Now I know what you are thinking aren't all cables made to the same specifications because there is an international board that creates the specifications and makes all manufacturers stay with in that specification and I can tell you that that is a blatant lie Audioquest makes the best cables for EVERYTHING and completely ignores specifications and makes their own that's why their products are the best out there. If you want to turbo charge your phone's internet and charging capability I HIGHLY recommend this cable.
I would recommend this to a friend!

why? AudioQuest is well known for their HDMI cables..and i have to say the pricing isn't bad compared to other shops :D

 

And Best Buy should be around for the next 5 years if you have to use the warranty...other stores may be gone!

Its sellable because a lot of consumers are idiots. I went into a local electronics store to get an optical cable and they are selling them at 79 NZD claiming because of gold plated conecters you get a better connection.

I didnt know gold makes light go faster ¯\(°_o)/¯
