really? aren't they the single most expensive place to buy cables or has the internet spoiled me?

If you have to buy local, Radio Shack does have some cheaper cables. I notice Best Buy is the worst, but Apple has ok priced cables. This is mainly in locales without Fry's or other non-mainstream box stores. Heck, Apple has been cheaper than Wal-Mart in cables.

Obviously, online is cheaper than any retail.

Yeah, no Frys where I live. :(

We recently got an apple store though, I would never have thought to look there for cables. For some reason assumed they'd be overpriced... :)

Likely because Apple has other stuff they can make money on, while Best Buy, having won the race to the bottom, really doesn't.
