Ask HN: Where do you buy electronic cables/wires/peripherals

2 points by yeeetz ↗ HN
For stuff like cables, adapters, and general electronic stuff, all I see on Amazon all I see are random made in China brands with a suspicious amount of 5 star reviews. Are stores like Best Buy/Micro Center or purchasing direct from Apple/Microsoft/Sony/etc. the best bet, or are there still some high quality brands to be found on Amazon and other stores.

eBay. Unlike Amazon, sellers are rated and have hard incentives to maintain their reputation as sellers.

Also, sometimes Monoprice.

Monoprice has been my go to for over a decade. Really easy return policy just in case, but I haven’t gotten a bad cable from them, very good pricing too.
