Don't suppose PC world price match websites like Ebuyer for cables?

Just want a USB extension cable. They're silly prices like £20 in PC world but only £5 delivered from ebuyer. Don't suppose anyone knows if PC world would match Ebuyer if given a print out? I suppose the ridiculous prices is how they make their money.

    No they won't unfortunatley.
    I believe they will only match high street retailers which have actual stock available for the indentical product i.e same make.

    If you order something from the PC world website to collect in store, its sometimes cheaper.

    I'm looking for a Belkin one specifically as I need the best quality possible, due to a device not getting enough power with the 3 different extension cables I have tried. Works fine without extension but not with. Hoping a good quality cable will cure the problem.

    You need an Active USB Extension Cable.

    Do a search on Google and/or eBay to find one.
