counterfeit NBS cables

.Anybody heard anything about forging NBS cables, or any other cables for that matter? I was warned by Walter Fields of NBS, as well as other NBS dealers (like the cable company) not to purchase NBS cables on the used market lest they be fakes. On the other hand, when I suggested Fields to help me and check the used cables for their authenticity, he refused. I find this all disconcerting.

Sounds like a case of a manufacturer just wanting to sell new products. Very greedy of him.

This is typical of Fields, he's done this before, even with cables that he had sold factory direct. He does not like to lose sales to the used market.

But then again look at it his way.Unlike an electronic manufacturer he has no potential gain in servicing or upgrade.Buy used but but don't expect the guy to hold your hand while you do it.

Chazzbo, I disagree. Gain or no gain, there is such a thing as customer service. People do notice. A sale doesn't just end when you walk out the door.
