Why leave feedback if the Audiogon team is just going to remove it?

I recently bought a power cord from member "troy10".

I left this feedback - which was later removed by Audiogon for what reason I have no idea.


Only leaving NEUTRAL instead of NEGATIVE on the off chance the seller did not actually know this power cord was not authentic. I currently own 3 LessLoss power cords and have two very good audio buddies that own 7 between them. I have also owned 3-4 more in the past as my system(s) underwent change. When this cable arrived, I noticed right away that it was missing the normal "LESSLOSS" decal and the "OYIADE.COM" decal on each end of the cable. When I contacted the seller, he said that just because there are no stickers, that does not mean that it is a fake. I checked my existing cables and called my friends to confirm as well, and all 10 of the power cords had both of these stickers present at each end of the cable. It was only after several messages back and forth between myself and the seller that he finally said "I removed the stickers". THIS IS INCREDIBLY DECEPTIVE... I now have to go through the arduous process of making a claim on PayPay to get my funds back...very disappointed with this transaction.

What is the point in leaving feedback for an item that you purchase if Audiogon is just going to remove it? 

How about other buyers that might be interested in buying from this member?  Should they not be aware of a situation with a past sale?

He admitted he removed the stickers, so you have an authentic cable. Just no stickers, do they make it sound better? I don't find this to be "INCREDIBLY DECEPTIVE". He does have good feedback.

After contacting LessLoss, they confirmed that there are fakes out there and that they always had both of the decals on each end.  Because the seller said (after I brought up the issue) that "he removed the stickers" does not make the cable authentic.

The PROPER thing to do is to say...

"I'm sorry that you are not happy with the transaction... I will allow you to return for refund, minus my shipping costs".

Where the stickers on the cable in the photos that were part of the classified ad? Not passing any judgement, just asking a question....
