Here's a 6 footer at Staples for $165!! http://www.staples.com/office/supplies/p...051_SEARCH
office supply stores for computer or video accessories are the worst, except maybe media on sale. Some traveling schlub will pay that to make a presentation work. I've had to do it when a client didn't make the requested preparations.
There's that, but the office warehouse chains also know that many times it's being bought/ordered by a company via an employee. The person buying it usually doesn't care, they're just told to get this, that and the other thing, so they order it or buy it at the store itself. It goes on a company card and gets lost in a sea of paperwork. I've seen it happen countless times at the bigger firms.
very true. My slant was you do what you need to do to get the job done on time.
