OK, it is like this. If you don't trust someone else make your own. It does not take rocket science to know how a power cable works in audio system. If you have a cheap consumer audio rig, you may not get the full benefits of and audio grade power cable. If you do not learn the metallurgy involved you will not learn the benefits of a power cable, if you do not learn the benefits of the different symmetry's you understand the potential of the power cable. I can go on and on. The first question I would ask myself, would my gear benefit from upgrading power cables? If not, leave them alone. If so, purchase them if you can't build them enjoy them, if not sell them. What is so hard? I don't understand? You can't say that all power cables are a fraud. If you can't hear a difference great. But don't speak for me. I have a rig that is easy to tell the difference in power cables and interconnects. I have cables that have been made by reputable Manufacturers Like PS Audio and Grado. I prefer the ones I have made at the moment. Doesn't mean I do not like stuff like the Oyaide Tunami cable.
Learning about power cables is like anything else, trial and error. You can read all you want. You will never know how it sounds until it is plugged to your gear.
