Best Place for MIDI cables?

[yetti78]

I use monoprice.com for everything cable related (THE PRICING IS ABOUT 10% OF BEST BUY RETAIL - YES 10%), but they don't stock MIDI cables. Best prices on such gear?

Sweetwater.com
B & H
SamAsh.com
Musiciansfriend.com

Most of them are around the same price... and are well trusted sites for Audio.

How about maybe newegg? Found them to beat most every price out there. I would think they have midi cables???

Newegg is primarily computer stuff, are they not? I would expect MIDI cables to be found at music stores.

Yea, it's all new. Just very cheap, and usually you can get free or very cheap postage on items as small and light as a MIDI cable.

I buy stuff off eBay all the time. First place I check. I usually buy new stuff from stores with Buy It Now. The shipping is usually free and a lot of time you get stuff like free cables.

E.G. just grabbed another B stock Presonus D8 with 8 Whirlwind XLR and 2 Whirlwind guitar cables for 359.00 shipped. This is the 3rd D8 I have bought from eBay seller called unique_squared and they have all been fully functional, like new and carry a full manufacturers warranty. I've saved enough money that should I buy another its for all purposes free. Normal D8 retail is around 499.00 at the bigger etailers.

E.G. Presonus HP60 headphone amp with 4 free pair of headphones. New with free shipping.

E.G. New AT 3035 condenser mics with free headphones with free shipping and about 70.00 of regular retail.

By using eBay stores for all practical purposes the HP60 headphone amp and its headphones were free.....The free headphones (they are all AT M20's) are nothing to write home about but their perfectly fine for cue mixes.

I check eBay first and use the search function to see if anyone is selling exactly what I'm looking for (I research what I'm buying first) and then compare prices with Musicians Friend, Sweetwater and usual suspects. Google is your friend here too.

Research, Ebay, Google, Save. This is for commodity items. If it's something I think might need tech support on or may not be suitable and get returned I like Sweetwater. No taxes and free shipping.

Just saying dont be afraid to buy stuff from eBay sellers with good ratings.

Yep, I bought me a brand new AT4040 from Ebay. $75 off of retail. I was reluctant as it was my first Ebay purchase ever, but I'm glad I did now.
