I was on there website and they seemed to have everything Best Buy had but way cheaper. So my question for people who have bought from them is

Was the quaility of the product any good?

Is it a professional site like Newegg or one guy operating from his basement?

Most importantly did they just run off with your money or did you actually get you product?

Thanks

It's a legitimate business.

Edit: And everything is cheaper than bestbuy because bestbuy charges rediculous prices for their cables and such.

The quality is good and they are a respectable business. Cables are a product that can be sold for huge markups because people are willing to buy them for that much. They might cost around $0.10 to produce but sell for $40. Monoprice is more reasonable with their prices. With cables that give a digital signal like HDMI, Monoprice's are as good as a $100 Monster Cable.

I bought 3 HDMI cables (22AWG) for basically a song. About $10USD. I was well satisfied for their timely delivery. Because I got such a thick cable, it made a heck of a difference watching Blu-Ray movies from my PS3 a pure joy. And yes, I would order from them again. BTW, I wish I could tell you about a price but I don't think anybody makes a 22 gauge HDMI cable. Monster maybe.

Not sure even posting is necessary, but like everyone else has mentioned its a legit biz. I have purchased all kinds of stuff from them. Cables: HDMI, Component, Xbox Component, Wii Component, CAT5, Component Switches, HMDI Switches, etc... I have never had an issue with anything they sell.

Very reputable and in may cases better quality than the comparable items available at Best Buy.
