monoprice.com sells this for $1.26 So if you only buy one this is only 30 cents more but if you buy 10 you can buy them from monoprice for less than 2 bucks per item including shipping...

This is not a deal. Even for just one.

@justafreak: Then why is it when I go to their site, it's $1.42 per cable?

If you get 2 to 9, the price is $1.34 each.

$1.34 x 3 = $4.02

You need to buy 10 to get the $1.26 price. Additionally, monoprice charges me $3.07 for shipping to Florida making it a grand total of $7.09. Makes this posted deal better than monoprice.

They show up as $1.28 for me on monoprice. Maybe there's regional pricing.

@davet111: Very strange. I click on my own link above and I get the same $1.28 price for a quantity of 2 to 9. Maybe they were in the process of adjusting the prices when I went there the first time.

Either way, once you add the shipping costs, monoprice is still higher for the quantity of 3 cables.

Firefold.com has them for $1.29, regardless of quantity, and available in 9 color choices. Shipping via USPS first-class is $2.03 for one cable or $3.23 for three cables, which would make the total price for three cables $7.10. Not trying to argue...just showing people another option while building evidence that the deal in question is, in fact, a deal.

Okay this is weird....now that cable shows up for $1.35 on monoprice at the level 1 pricing...

So this is a deal now....odd.

@justafreak Seems monoprice has multipricing
