Recently at an emergency stop at my local friendly guitar center , I was in need of some cables for my monitors. Everyone mentions mogami, so I thought what the hell, let's give it a try. So I ask the guy for a 15' trs-xlr m mogami cable. The dude shows up with a 10' cable and a price tag of 39.99 plus tax!!! Holy shit, 40 bucks for a 10' foot cable. So I told him it was too much, and requested a cheaper cable. He then stepped away from the computer and picked up some livewire cables, but he had to go in the back to get the exact ones I needed. I took this chance to take a look at the screen, and to my freakin surprise, the base cost of a 10' mogami trs - xlr m cable is 13.62!!!!! HOLY SHIT WHAT A FREAKIN MARKUP. My question to all you gear fanatics, how can I get these prices. If I wanted to one day open up a little music store, what I would need to do to go about having these prices?
