used when promised new

I ordered .5m pair of Cardas Golden Reference interconnects from an Audiogoner We negotiated through email and came up with the price of $375 NEW. Well, I got the cables, timely, but they are not new. They are in absolutely fabulous condition, but they are definitely not new. They were also packaged poorly with no Cardas literature. No nothing. I emailed my disappointment, and have not gotton a response yet. This is going to be my first time giving a negative response on "feedback." Isn't this appropriate, even if amends are made. Am I being fair? Is there, really, any reason to hear an explanation? Even if he makes good $$wise, he still lied to me. I would appreciate feedback from you guys.
thanks in advance,

Deals on Audiogon get enthusiastic positive feedback both directions regularly when the items are in "absolutely fabulous condition" delivered in a "timely" manner at 45% off list!

"Like New" and "10/10" from the ad are the only credible facts.
The seller should dispute this if the buyer doesn't make an effort to withdraw the seemingly unwarranted negative feedback.

I wish to thank my fellow audiophools for their insights. I over reacted and learned a valuable lesson at another audiopool's exspense. I could (should) have handled this, too, via email. I didn't get a response quickly enough, and subsequently over reacted. I want to offer a formal apology to my fellow audiophools. I took giving negative feedback, too lightly, and I shouldn't have. You've helped me see the light.
peace,
warren

I asked the Audiogon Brass to change the feedback (keeping the copy the same) from negative to neutral. They did....
