    Dear mole79,

    Hello, I noticed your feedback, I just want to say that I'm recovering slower than expected from surgery & if you have the feedback removed I'll ship asap otherwise i'll refund your money, let me know, A.C.

    Actually, what he is trying to get you to do is against eBay's rules. Send the email from him to eBay. He won't be ripping anyone else off after that...at least not under his current name.

    because one normally puts a crap ton of stuff up for sale on ebay right before you have to have surgery.....yeah that makes sense.

    Well, CP has been pretty quite tonight so since I was bored I twisted my arm and opened this thread. Amazing, 9 pages of tug of war for 3.99 cables (I guess it must be because of the word MIT). This thread is almost as entertaining as the childish cable debates ;):D:p

    if i get the MITs from this guy ill compare them to the Sidewinders i got from you.
    if they are fake, i have learned my leason never to buy CHEAP name brand cables from EBAY again.
    Fake or not, you will definitely hear a difference and the only difference will be cha-ching :D

    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...
    Instead of a Karma, those cables should be touring the US for demo and comparision thus saving many people many $$$s :cool:

    Someone want to lend me a pair of these awesome $3.99 cables? I want to A/B them with my MIT Shotgun S3's :rolleyes:

    Anyone?...:p
    Check above recommendation for demo along with hearing the difference (cha-ching) ;):D:p

    Ha nuff with this thread, I believe there might be new threads to look at from CP's early birds :cool:

    Yea, I have had a couple of Ebay transactions where the seller claimed this type of stuff .One transaction had been paid by PP immediately after the auction ended. I contacted them a week later after not hearing a thing from the seller ,they had sold another exact amp just like the one I won. They thought they had already UPS'd mine at the same time as the other .Yea right,somehow they forgot to send the tracking info to me??? I got the amp 10 days later. Chalk it up to living and learning on Ebay.

    That wasn't a thread that was a cluster you-know-what over a year ago. Most of the cable threads of late have been pretty civil with the exception of the troll or two taking their shots and stiring the pot.

    Yep they are good for a laugh and for the most part old threads. If you read my statement again, you will notice I said, "ONE of the most ridiculous threads."
