He probably does not even need to sell it and sells it at some flee market and slap an RCA logo on it. All you need is the end connectors and you got yourself a new cable.
True, true... but stealing connectors also increases the risk of getting caught.

 How much a bag of 100 connectors would cost you if you bought them from some large supplier? Probably a mere 4euros and you sell each cable at 8euros.

So if you where able to make 50 cables that would be 200euros and subtract 4 euros for the next bag you need to pay and you got yourself 196euros.

 What are you talking about... why would you put an RCA plug on that anyway, this is not some cheap Video connection cable that most people have. They are most likely going to sell it by the kilo to whoever.

I was thinking along the lines of if someone is going to steal the cable, they'd probably steal the connectors as well. Were a thief to buy such parts legitimately can cut into his/her "profit."
