if you think they are suspiciously cheap, look at the shipping costs! I 
stupidly got burned on a cable purchase from 3gcables.com by thinking I 
was getting a good deal. the cable itself was only something like 7 
dollars, but they charged me 11 bucks just for shipping and handling, and 
they only shipped it USPS priority mail!!!

of course, I didn't look closely before I chose buy it now, and by that 
point it was too late to back out of the sale :( so I ate the cost. the 
cable *IS* a great cable, don't get me wrong. it's just that a lot of the 
sellers on ebay are very deceptive about pricing and make it all up in the 
shipping. USPS priority mail only costs about 3.50 to ship something small 
like a cable, the rest of the cost is the imaginary "handling" cost.
