I'm sure this was a jest, but the actual reason is more likely that the 
Intrex cable was a bulk no-name cable and the CompUSA was a retail 
packaged Belkin cable. So you have markup for brand AND packaging. Not 
only is the bulk cable saving you money, but it is helping to save the 
environment. DOWN WITH RETAIL PACKAGING!!!! 8^D
