Aliexpress Marketplace practices, be for warned.

Ads like this are bordering on fraudulent if not over the line. They are misrepresenting that the product shown in the ad that they are offering to sell are Nordost Valhalla 2 speaker cables. Maybe there is another habitable planet in some other solar system or galaxy that sells these cables for the advertised price in the ad, but you wont find the real deal on planet Earth for that price! These are knock off cables and you might as well go to Home Depot and buy lamp cord for a fraction of the price. Someone else said it above: caveat emptor which is latin for buyer beware. If it sounds too good to be true, then it is probably is fake.

Perhaps there is a disclaimer somewhere in the ad that says these are fake Nordost cables, but I didn't see it.

What also bothers me about the ad is that Alibaba is prepared to allow - or turns a blind eye to - third party vendors who advertise fake product on their website to unsuspecting purchasers. 

Just sayin'😫

Daytrader...

Thanks for being willing to A/B real/fake gear.

Even if you get what you paid for, which is not much...  WHAT A HEADACHE!  If the website states you can cancel, and they refuse, take a screenshot... your CC company can use it to expedite your refund.

ALSO - Fake-product dumping is unethical and illegal (think Trademarks, Tariffs & Safety issues - see U.S. Customs & Border Protection websites for details). 

IMO This entire community must avoid sellers  of fraudulent gear - FULL STOP.  As they used to say, if you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.

Very good information.  All documents have been screen shot and delivered to my CC company.  They believe by suspending payment, Aliexpress for the above reasons you state will not fight it.  Agree with all your commentary.  🙏

Just to fill in some details.  

I ordered the AQ digital coaxial for $180(Eagle Eye AQ product as advertised) which I was planning to compare against with my Supra, my DH Labs, my Wireworld 7 glass(just for kicks), a Blue Jeans cable and an Amazon special. 

Did I really think it was real, no.  Was I curious as to the sound, yes.  If received I do plan to send back if they do a full refund and they say within 7 days, the cost of shipping too.  Do I really believe this, no.  If my CC company can reverse payment, I will send it back on my own dime.  If none of the above happens, I plan to send it to a YouTuber that does these comparisons on video and let him listen then cut it open.  This might cost me $180 but it gives me the opportunity to share this story and let consumers decide what to do.  Thanks for all that have participated. 🙏
