Hi drjsmd,
Nothing at all wrong with buying used cables, but the point is that these are likely fakes. Advice to be skeptical of China cable "resellers" is very valid as there many manufacturers (PS Audio and Oyaide for two) who actually post such warnings on their websites and reports of occurrences are common in the various audio threads.
If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Your plan to try these cables and be happy if they "are an improvement" is fine. Just don’t come back and post that the whole cable thing is a big fraud if they do not, it being likely that they are fakes.
