Cable Auctions by Manufacturers


I believe it is customary and courteous, when winning an auction, to pay immediately, usually by Paypal. (Like within an hour or two of winning). Different cable makers seem to have different standards of shipping times. What time lag is "reasonable and acceptable" to receive such cables that have been won and paid for? Opinions please.

I won a Zu Xaus phono cable on e-bay from Zu Cable.
From payment to front porch was 3 days. They shipped Fed-Ex Ground included in price.
All hail and grovel the great Zu the infallable Zu supreme we are not worthy.
In my experience also, Zu Cable turns them around usually in a day, never more than 2 (except weekends).
Yes but how long would it take Zu to turn them around if they were not in stock?
Small cable manufacturers use auctions to sell multiple cables to anyone who bids. I learned this the hard way. Got beat out on a winning bid but got an email that the winner didn't pay so I could have the cable for my lesser bid.

Of course the available cables went to the winning bidder and I was left to wait 4 wks for my pair to be made up. Either you have the product to sell or you don't. Don't try to use auctions to generate multiple sales.

PS- the cables (speaker) were absolutely horrible. If you've ever wondered if cables make a difference it was eye opening how bad these were even in a modest system.
