A lot of the markup on Monster over other brands is pure profit at the store level. Best Buy's employee discount program is based off of the cost of an item. It's something like 5% above cost.
I had my cousin buy me a set of Monster Cable 4-Ch RCAs (Pre-amp connects) with his discount. Shelf price: $98. I paid like $20, and Best Buy still made 5% of that.
