Why does Best Buy charge $45 for a 100ft ethernet cord when Amazon charges $17?

My gf was upset cause she thought she was gonna have to spend $45 on a ethernet cord. She works from home and they installer couldn't run a coax to her bedroom, so she has the the modem in the living room.

So I go on Amazon and boom $17 for a 100ft cable. I guess the installer said something along the lines of if the coax is too long it'll cause connections issues.

I hope this is the right sub, if not I'll repost to the right sub if someone could redirect me.

well im sure a best buy employee will back me up but besy buy typically has a 400% markup on cables because people that go there are desperate and need them now. Easy profit like gas stations selling those USB 12v cig to usb chargers and cables and such for $10 you can buy on ebay for less than a buck.
