| 691725 | 2008-07-24 22:28:00 | Hi Wainui. Re: $20 Bucks for a 2Mtr A-B Cable - are you joking Thats a rip off. I too felt that way - 10% of the price of the printer. I have the receipt here "DSE Cable USB 2.0 2M XH8178 cost $19.98". From my nearest depot, Richmond, Nelson on 24 June 2008. | Scouse (83) | ||
| 691726 | 2008-07-25 00:02:00 | Saw some in a $2 shop the other day. Whether they work or not is another matter :) | seltsam (13470) | ||
| 691727 | 2008-07-25 00:14:00 | $20 Bucks for a 2Mtr A-B Cable - are you joking :horrified Thats a rip off. Lets say I give them away with the printers - anything under 5 Mtrs That's awful, yeah. :groan: They would be making around 400% - 500% on that. We generally give them away with a new printer too, or very cheap. They aren't that expencive normally anyway, unless you get them from DS is seems :D Hi Wainui.

| 691729 | 2008-07-25 02:19:00 | Its the Blue Light (www.dse.co.nz) - added the price, but that's a gimmick - Its called the gold series - that because it's charged like gold. Generally speaking a Standard USB cable would do exactly the same - But wouldn't glow. |

| 691730 | 2008-07-25 05:22:00 | I bought a Epson C90 printer recently from DSE in Pukekohe, a USB printer cable came with it and the salesman said ALL printers had USB cables with them. Dont know why the situation should be different in different parts of the country. | IanS (924) | ||

That may be true for an Epson C90, Epson make a big deal about the box having everything needed to print included. More expensive Epson don't have anything in the specs saying cable included. The dealers share the blame, they want to be able to sell overpriced cables as part of the deal. |

| 691732 | 2008-07-25 09:08:00 | the salesman said ALL printers had USB cables with them The salesman doesn't know what he's talking about, proof by the fact several people here have said they had / or do supply a cable with a printer. The printers that do, and its VERY few, always make a big deal about it, and usually only a 1 Mtr. -- whipped de do! The dealers share the blame, they want to be able to sell overpriced cables as part of the deal. OVERPRICED is the key word there. Not all places over charge, REAL computer places charge a reasonable price. Reminds me - better order some more. |
