Agree... Just bought a 3ft HDMI cable from them for $6.90 including shipping! They shipped it literally the second I paid for the item via USPS and got it from CA to NY in 2 days (ordered Thu, arrived Sat).
The cable may be no name, but the construction is very heavy duty with EMI supression ferrite cores on BOTH ends of the cable. The connector ends came with plastic protective bezzel/sleeves and were wrapped in foam as well. Here's the cable:

Their eBay price/shipping is better than their e-commerce site.
And here's another one:

They're listing a 6' HDMI cable on their main page right now for $17.35. I've dealt with this outfit for many years, most is surplus and be careful with tools, but they only charge $7 shipping on ANY order, regardless of weight.

I bought some cheap yet very high quality cables at https://www.cablesforless.com/
They have an 800 number to call if you have any questions.
I believe they're located in Indiana.

I buy all my cables from these guys.
They are located in Portland, Oregon and dont have to charge sales tax to anyone. Fantastic products, great people with very good prices.

I got 2 cables from Monoprice. These are 24AWG as compared to the cheaper priced 28AWG. They are well constructed and work great. For short runs the 28AWG will work fine, but I would suggest using the 24AWG for longer runs.

Got my 6 footer for free. Negotiated for it when I bought my 62" DLP. Would've never paid the $75 on the sticker. Used the 'old negotiating tactic called "nibbling". After agreeing on the price I was happy with ($700 lower than sticker, free delivery, and free extended warrantee-normally a ripoff at $450), I asked if they would throw in the HDMI cable at the end. He said "take it". People don't realize how negotiable things can be. The more expensive, the more negotiation can be done. So haggling at Micky D's over the fries won't work too well.
Only worry about the monoprice 24AWG cables is that they are thicker and heavier and thus might cause the fragile HDMI connectors in the 211 & 622 to break more quickly.
