WTF....

The most funny review follows below...

These cables cured my AIDS., July 11, 2008
By J. Mccarthy -

What can I say? I blew $500 on this cable thinking I might as well enjoy the highest quality data transmission during my last miserable AIDS-infested days on the planet. Well upon installing the cable I noticed a spring in my step and a lessening of the sores. 2 weeks, that's right 2 weeks later, my doctors told me that I had been cured of AIDS!!! Can't wait to go back to Haiti now!!!
WTF.....

You didn't mention the refurbished one for $999.99, and the comment saying he upgraded it by wrapping it in platinum foil

BTW, I think it's put up there as an audio cable, not as an ethernet cable.

This one must surely be a joke. But there are scams by some companies ripping off gullible audio enthusiasts by selling silver-coated speaker wires for $50 or more per meter!! These are sold, not on Amazon or eBay, but in respectable audio specialist shops. You will get exactly the same sound quality with a Rs.10/meter household wiring material.
