Yea you need to be carful I got some bad Kimbers a couple years ago sent them to kimber and they wanted to charge me about $250 to authenicate because they would of had to pull the connectors off but they where pretty sure they where not there cable.
Well I bought a fake pair of Sky a few years ago from a member with good feedback until I sent my purchased pair to AQ for their inspection. When compared to a "real" pair there was a very slight jacket coloration difference as well as a different feel as to the weight of the conductors. I too fell for a deal that was too good. A legit seller isn't going to give high quality cables away...
The cable looks identical to the pictures that Audioquest has. It was the price of the cable (about 1/3 retail) that had me worried. I had not thought about the "authenticity" when I bought it.
