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,

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....

Warrenh,

its refreshing to see someone admit to an error and take responsibility. im also glad the feedback was changed.

peace.

It seems that you are not detail oriented (anal), but think that "as new" should have been the representation for this transaction. I hope this was the gist of your feedback and nothing more. I decree: JUSTIFIED! Note- nobody cares what I think, here or elsewhere.
