general query about cables on Agon


Hi guys,

I've noticed recently that there seem to be sellers who are selling only cables, and a lot of them, on the 'Gon. Doesn't seem particularly normal to sell nothing but cables unless you're a manufacturer or something. I know there were stories going around about fake cables, and this just kind of makes me raise an eyebrow. Do I have anything to worry about here, or am I just being waaay too paranoid?

Indeed, the "make their own" crowd is what I'm worried about here. I'm looking at Shunyata, and I figure that's ripe for the pickin', about as "name brand" as you can get. Someone who's feedback is all for cable sales, only sells never buys, and has 10 sets of cables for sale at the same time sparks serious suspicion from me.
If they're are authorized dealer, shouldn't have a commercial account and announce themselves as such?

Anyway, a round of emails confirmed some sketchiness in this particular situation, so I won't be buying this time!
Xenithon: good point, I hadn't thought of that. Though it seems like those people should somehow be designated as dealers, even if unofficial.
