Cable Auctions by Manufacturers

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.

If you are buying ready wear off the rack ... payment should be acknowleged within 24 hours and shipped including tracking # within 48 to 72 hours, excluding Weekends and Hoildays/Vaction closuers

If you are buying custom lenghts or product up grades extra consideration must/should be given.

My last wire purchase required hand assembling, and 3 days in cryo tank, plus transit time back and forth to tank(er), plus 6 days on C/Cooker.

Mfger stood in touch through out each and every step of the process easing the agony of anticipation.

No excuse for poor communications and not supplying tracking number.

A product should not be auctioned unless it is ready for immediate delivery.

Any possible delay or waiting time should be explicitly mentioned in the advertisement's text.

All of course, IMO.

Zu Cable cable simply does not auction cables that are out of stock....I realize this is an advanced concept for some.

I agree with Bill, say they auction an un-made cables that they say is worth $1000 and the auction nets them $114.00 now how hard do you think they will work on making that cable? I would inquire and ask before bid if item is ready to go, if it isnt or they dont reply then run like hell.
