Dixons mistake??

While browsing for A/V connection leads in Dixons yesterday, I found some whizz bang gold plated leads to connect between dvd player and amplifier priced at 99P!! This is a 1.5 mtr cable with six connections for surround sound at each end. If you use one, you'll know what I mean, and you will probably be knashing your teeth having paid a small fortune for them.
Presumably the price should have been £--.99, but someones finger slipped.

    Are these Monster cables? Dixons have just changed supplier, from Monster. Any stock not recalled could well be down to that price. On your receipt is an SKU code under the product name. Can you post it if you get a minute.

    Sorry, binned the receipt, but they are JVC cables, part of a large range with its own display area. The rest of the range, scarts, video, etc., are all pretty dear, it's just this one specific set, each end clearly marked, front left, centre, etc, etc. Package costs more than 99P. Greeny, yellowy packs, if you insist on technical descriptions!
    I still don't have an amplifier/speakers to use them with, but it's next on the list, I'm just busy trying to find a decent setup without spending a fortune, so stumbling accross these cables was a bit of a bonus, I will need them soon.
