    Granted it's not a lot, Chris. ebay should have your backs though with the buyer protection if the deals go south. At .29 cents a pound, 16.00 buys a lot of crawdads when foozball season comes around. ;)

    true and thats why I wasn't too worried about it. If worse came to worse I would file a claim and go that route but 16 is nothing I'm going to lose sleep over at this point. Over 50 and I start to get pissed about loosing it...

    and never have had them crawdad's at all. Seeing I'm 50% French is that something I should have eaten? I don't know how it works :p:D

    oh and french canadian is more I guess where my forefathers came from...but when people ask me I just say French because it makes WI look cool....er something. :D

    It's only $16, but, when you add up everyone here who bought them, he's made off with little coin. That's the only reason I will be making a claim.

    No, not delivered, but a tracking number, a notice of shipment, something to indicate that a transaction has taken place.

    But thanks for bringing us back to reality. Because none of us HAVE NEVER bought anything online.....especially ebay..:rolleyes:

    Apparently you're not very good at it. Stated in the auction, US Postal Service Parcel Post® 3-10 business days. That means no tracking, no notice of shipment, no nothing.

    Yep, you look stupid.

    So why is anybody even buying $3.99 "MIT" cables? Is this the latest Nigerian scam? Rather than get a few suckers for big bucks, get a lot of suckers for a few bucks.

    5 pages for a pair of $16 dollar cables?....

    Whoever bought some, I hope they're the real deal but if they're not then oh well...not like it should hurt any of you financially (although if it does, then you shouldn't be buying these cables anyway).

    For those just getting into cables, I would've recommended some AQ Sidewinders or at least Signal Cable Analog I's or II's. Buy them used, and you save yourself a good amount of $$$.

    If they were real, I was more than likely going to pass them on in some Karma, I really have no use for them.
    Probably three of the pages have nothing to do with the thread, and a few unsolicited ego driven comments.

    For $16, I figured I would check them out, since everbody was fence sitting...
