eBay's MIOVA cables from seller Fea888 = JUNK


Well I purchased a pair of these cables off ebay for $50 and figured they were worth a shot. I was wrong! I basically threw $50 (plus shipping) away. Like most audiophiles I change my system around a lot and during an amplifier swap I went to remove the interconnects and the cable pulled out of the end on me. I immediatly contacted eBay seller Fea888 about this and he refused to replace them even when his return polocy states:

"If item is defective or not what expected, please contact us in order to get return instructions. Customer's satisfaction is our main concern, buy with confidence."

I email back calling him a liar! He replied saying that he would replace the cables and to send them in (to Canada). So I did just that. Paid return shipping out of pocket. It has now been over a month and I have emailed him over and over again with no reply from him. He stole my cables! I'm out the $50 for the cables, shipping to me and return shipping. Thats around $90! I just felt everyone should know to steer clear of this guy. He is bad news. The cables weren't really that great anyways. For the money I've used much much better stuff.

Thanks.

In the college course "Audiophile101" it warns against buying on Ebay, I guess you missed that day :)
(sorry lol I had to)
I use Ebay for deals on anything I am not too worried about, and the rest I do it here as this is my only really active passion that requires purchase from time to time.
I have never had a problem with an Ebay purchase, tho I dont buy anything hardly at all for financial reasons but I have seen too many poorly cared for items in pictures and know that for most...its just an amp, record player or whatever so they do not baby it. Sorry for the joke but I cant help myself...time for my meds.
