On second review...this site is pretty expensive! RG6 coaxial cable - 1000ft: DeepSurplus = $65 (+ 35 shipping) Monoprice = $55 (+27 shipping) Single HDMI Cable - 6ft: DeepSurplus = $11.75 () Monoprice = $3.04 Several more like this....

Only thing that kills is the shipping. It had costed me about 100 bucks on shipping alone. I still ended up saving a lot though. The trick is to just make big orders.
