price of WireWord ECLIPSE III DISCRETE BIWIRE

All of you, thx a lot for the advice. I live in Belgium and the seller lives in the neighbourhood. Just a few miles away. He offered at 406 $, for 2 x 4 M (= 2 x 13 ft) wich seems a bargain to me.  He has also great vintage JBL control monitors on sale (4435), but those are out of my league at the moment. I would pay him of course the full amount while trying the cables at home, he agreed at first, but does not reply any more. I assume he changed his mind.

wireworld today makes very well built (if rather high priced) cables

they have a terrific record for quality and good sound stemming back from their start some 20 years ago - to me, their higher value cables are excellent

as many successful cable makers do, they have some very very expensive products for that segment of the buyer market... which i generally avoid 

see if he will give you a trail period if you pay for them first.

That's a pretty big ask from a private seller.

I agree with @jackd , if you think you want them and the price is right, buy them and give them a shot.
You might love them.
But if you don't like them, put them back up for sale.

Why would you think a private seller would ship you a set of cables for a free trial.  If they are used and you want them then buy them.  If you don't like them re-sell them like he is doing.  These used equipment sites are not Amazon.  

It's a private seller, and I would only buy if I can try them first. It is the copper version, not the silver or gold version, which were more expensive. Seller is reluctant to let me try first. So we'll see.

I guess my first question would be:

Why do you assume it would be a big improvement? You like what you like. An improvement? Probably. A "Big" improvement......maybe.

My second question is:

They don’t make that version of those cables anymore. I believe WireWorld’s Eclipse is up to version 8. They certainly weren’t "cheap" when they were new, that’s for sure. If I had to guess, I would probably say they were around $1500-ish new. Somewhere in that ballpark, I'd wager.

I think they also came in a couple of different "flavors" (silver/copper, etc....)

IME (at least with my Classe CA-2200/ speaker setup), any silver cable I’ve tried makes my system sound VERY bright. I stick with all copper cables. YMMV, depending on what you like and what those cables are actually made of.

If you’re purchasing from a store, see what the return policy is. You might eat some $$$ on a restocking fee, but if you hate them, at least you’re not out the whole amount.
