OUCH !!!
Say, if this was purchased via credit card, can you just cancel the order ? Seems this is a clear misunderstanding of the product price.. Wouldn't that be covered under the cards protection clause in some way ?
Boy, this "I can't believe it" bit is starting to sound like one of those reality shows ?? They just might add a new forum heading for it here ??
Good luck on the cable issue..


LFE ! The rest is just details..

no...ordered from a store...but in the midst of it all the 3 in front of the 0 got lost...I ordered it...I'm paying for it..I always do my best to follow through with what I begin...my fault for not double checking...

at least it's top notch cable...and being I'm installing it permanently I won't have to worry about it in the future...still it does hurt a tad....

c'est la vie....

J.


then again... anyone need to test their sub?...got top notch cable here...special offer..$10 per 10 minute test...

I would think merciful was the keyword there.

Lord knows for thirty bucks a metre (approx. 3 feet), that's gonna cost some pretty coin depending on where that sub is sitting. He could use some mercy from the ppl charging him such a ridiculous amount.

The distance isn't in question. He bought 18 meters. That's a $540 sub cable...

I still think there's no issue, moral or otherwise, with canceling the order so long as it hasn't been made yet.

I, too, smell some very sneaky way of treating a customer here... They should allow you to cancel the order.

In the immortal words of someone on this very message board - I forget who it was that said, "GROW A SACK". And cancel that order.

Just for the record, "grow a sack" came out of Semi's repertoire of fantastic -isms.

Where would this board be without semi's whitt and frankness? My kids laugh their butts off everytime they hear that phrase.

Can we commemorate a statue after him? So I can later climb on the statue and use my shoe to beat on his head.

If you end up buying the cables, could you please post a picture of what a 550.00 audio cable looks like? I imagine gold plated with encrusted jewels on it.
