What I think he means is that you took a chance on a product that had no return privilege, meaning you'd be stuck with it or have to resell it for less than you paid for it if you did not like it. However, as you stated in your case the end result was a good one and you are happy with the product. I did not read into his statement that you were somehow shilling for the product or received a discount to talk positively about it. Although in the past Lessloss was giving discounts on their power cords to people who would post a follow-up review of it, I don't believe anyone here is accusing you of receiving a discount to do that.
Some of us cannot afford to take that risk on a $5k product so we have to pass on such opportunities. You are obviously not in that camp.
