I just saw a 3-pack of "outlet savers" in a store. Those are the
things that are supposed to let you use all the outlets in a power
strip, even when you have several wall-warts. $2 each is a really high
price to pay for 6-inch extension cords.

The labor cost is the same to put the ends on a 6" cord as for a 10'
cord. How about you make me up a half dozen for a buck apiece?

The "labor" is done by a machine.
It is like beer- you are mostly paying for the packaging and shipping,
not the beer itself. Per oz, a keg is the cheapest way to buy beer. Unit
cost for consumer goods can never drop below a certain point, or there
would be no reason for the product to be made, because nobody would make
any money on it.
