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.

I'm with you on this audiofreak. It sounds very shady, saying he removed the stickers after a bunch of back and forth. It sure smells fishy to me.

I purchased a used Lessloss digital AES/EBU cable (MSRP US $695). No Lessloss labels or stickers or anything. Nada. It sounded atrocious at first. The HF were shrill and painful. It took well over 150 hours to burn-in. Yet, it was authentic since I purchased it from a reviewer who bought it directly from Lessloss when he wrote the review. He stopped using it and put it away for over a year before putting it on the market. Over that time, it lost its charge. I would simply burn it in again and compare it to your other cables.

Hello Audiofreak32, I can definitely understand your frustration on this... it sounded pretty disconcerting and your distrust in the seller for not admitting he removed them when you began the discussion was also misleading.

Many of us have had unfortunate dealings over the years. I can share a long story of my own very quickly ... I had bought a pair of expensive speakers which were to be trucked to me, the seller handled all the freight arrangements (which I gladly paid additionally for). Unfortunately the trucking company destroyed the speakers and even though the seller told me he took out proper insurance to cover them, he actually didn’t take out any. 
The seller ended up keeping every dollar of the $8000 I paid him for the speakers and I got a check for $390 from the trucking company which didn’t even cover the shipping costs. 
 I think it is fair of me to mention that based on this experience I am quite justified in sharing his name: Steve Javaherian of
Highperformancestereo.com based in Hallandale Beach, Florida. 
 Needless to say I will not be doing business with him again as he has yet to even offer any type of financial compensation to any extent. 
      Good luck, and best regards, Lissnr
