Fake XLO cables from China


I have purchased lately 2 XLO power cables on Yahoo Japan and Ebay.  One is called XLO Purple Rush and the other Signature 3. The cables look like the real deal but it turns out all 3 are fake and sound no better than stock computer cables. Stupid me, but at least I want to make sure others don't repeat this mistake.

As a rule a price <25% of list is a big red flag -- authentic cables bottom out at 25-30% -- this one at 17% is well into "too good to be true" territory
I checked and found retail listed is $4,800, not $7,000 as listed on the ad.  Actual new price is probably even lower, so the price should be well within 25-30%, or higher of the new street price.
There is a high probability that any name-brand cable purchased from Hong Kong or the PRC is counterfeit.
