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

Power cable "sounded horrible" because it was "fake"? That’s awesome :)

There's only one side of this story being aired, so I'm only going to criticize that one side, even though the unheard side is probably open to an equal amount of criticism.

Removable stickers on a power cord proving authenticity is a joke.  Even if it did have a sticker, how would you known the sticker was authentic?

If the stickers are that important, why didn't you inquire about them before completing the transaction?  If you couldn't see them in the photo you should have asked for a different photo with the stickers clearly visible.

Before concluding that they are fake you should have them examined by a dealer, distributor or the manufacturer.

The BIGGEST issue that I have with what happened with this transaction (and the reason for me leaving neutral feedback) is that when I contacted the seller noting that the decals were not present, and that I looked at all 3 of my existing LessLoss power cords and called 2 different audio friends of mine that have them and asked that they also verify the decals were present on theirs, he DID NOT say ANYTHING about the fact that he had removed them. 

We went back and forth with messages and he was saying that "He bought from a reputable seller" and "Just because there are no decals, does not mean that it is not authentic", etc., etc.  No mention of the fact that he removed the decals. 

Then, I ask him if I can return the item and I would be fine covering his original shipping fees.... THEN he says "I removed the decals".  TOTAL BS!  This is so deceptive, I cannot imagine a sane person reading this post would not think that this is wrong.

Again, the PROPER thing to do is offer a return if the buyer is not satisfied for some reason and move on.
