Brand new, still sealed in the factory packaging. Retail is $9.09 plus tax making this about the same price you can get from Monoprice directly for one with additional savings if you buy more than one. Plus you can get them today rather than waiting for shipping. Win win. High quality and highly rated. You can spend more money but you won't get better cables or better performance.
I have three available and the prices are as follows:
One Cable: $10
Two Cables: $17
Three Cables: $25
From Monoprice:
