500 bucks for 5 feet of CAT5 cable? OMFG I can put together the same length cable for almost nothing. High-purity copper? Outstanding what people will try to pawn off on people. Good catch haha

You have to read all the customer reviews, they're priceless.

And look at the tags people are putting on it: snake oil, immoral, etc

And for a mere $1800 you can get yourself a CD/DVD Demagnetizer to improve the sound of your discs!

Though that model can only do 1 disc at a time, they make a bigger one that can do 5 at a time.

Tuck you don't understand, it's not a typo. Denon actually sells that cable for that much. You can buy all sorts of "audiophile" gear with obscene pricing. For these types of people, they will believe just about anything, and equate dollars spent with audio quality.

Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) is an American electronic commerce (e-commerce) company in Seattle, Washington. Amazon was one of the first major companies to sell goods by Internet, and was an iconic "stock in which to invest" of the late 1990s dot-com bubble. After the collapse, the public became skeptical about Amazon's business model, yet, it turned an annual profit in 2003.

..wait I have some too..

Jeff Bezos founded Amazon.com, Inc. in 1994, and launched it online in 1995. Amazon.com started as an on-line bookstore, but soon diversified to product lines of VHS, DVD, music CDs, MP3 format, computer software, video games, electronics, apparel, furniture, food, toys, etc. Amazon has established separate websites in Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, China, and Japan. It also provides global shipping to certain countries for some of its products.

The company began as an online bookstore named "Cadabra.com", a name quickly abandoned for sounding like "cadaver"; while the largest brick-and-mortar bookstores and mail-order catalogs for books might offer 200,000 titles, an on-line bookstore could offer more. Bezos renamed the company "Amazon" after the world's biggest river. Since 2000, Amazon's logotype is an arrow leading from A to Z, representing the desire to sell many products.

On a sidenote that isn't related to "facts about amazon".

I purchased a 120gb seagate harddrive (in the box) for 1$ from a hillbilly. (Barracuda 7200)

True, most things are more mountains than hills here.... Nothings round, its more jagged with rattlers sitting on it. I was looking at a property and saw this clear-skin colored scorpion pop out and roll in a ball like sonic the hedgehog. Apparently very poisonous...

But, despite all the bad things.. there are still slightly under-educated people in the world. We where talking to one old guy who was showing me a house with property for 37k (a steal since the land is worth 35). But he was trying to explain to us that he was upset because he paid for his house already to the bank (which took him many years). But apparently now they say he has to pay again because of something called "inest". Which translated, is interest of course - but he was dumbfounded. The guy that had the harddrive said is a dollar too much? Then tryed to pawn off a 5 year old external cd burner off on me as brand new. Then when I bought the hard-drive for a dollar he said all's he knows is I need a disk to re-get it working again. Then he said "here!" .. and threw about 5 new 56k modems on top of the harddrive box and said "now I don't have to pack them back up".

Odd guy...

^ And, yet, he still insists that there are hills. But if you give him 2 cookies, he might take 1 and do who knows what with the other. That would still leave room for the sun to rise in the west and set in the east. Of course, all this is dependent on the sun rotating opposite the Earth while maintaining its triangulation with Pluto and Mars. Of course, this is all speculation but the lamb may yet see the light of day.:idea:
