Half-price "Used / New" Cables

dealers never pay anywhere near retail, and sometimes they have overstock and then they unload, there are also people with lots o' dough to drop that change their minds without even listening to some cables. then there are people who know people and have gotten good deals, and finally there are people who lie about the age of their gear.

used high-end audio = 50% savings generally. nothing strange about it at all. reap the benefits my friend!

A sour note on this: maybe the latest bunch of counterfeit's from China... ??? They may actually BE the real cables being made 'under the table'...
A real problem. I would want to be certain the seller was an 'authorised dealer' in any deal on "new' cables that are over a hundred bucks...
ANYTHING with a superficially easy to copy appearance that costs a bundle is ripe for counterfitting.
Purses, shoes, spare automotive parts, CABLES
BUYER BEWARE.
When a mini-manufacturer could gear up and make phoney items for a fraction of the cost of the real thing.. it will happen.
And with cables.. What percent buying would spot it instantly?? 5%??
