-- Disclaimer first, as i'm new here and trust can understandably be an issue --
I'll give you my real name and my real email through a PM here; my name matches the email account, ie it's a proper one. Once we get to emailing each other, i am also willing to give you my cell phone and landline number, as well as giving you a call so we can talk real time.
Beyond that, i'm also willing to accommodate any further (reasonable) demands that would aid in ensuring some measure of trust being established. Don't hesitate to enquire.

Am selling this pair of Transparent MusicLink XLR 1,0 meter cables as seen in the pictures, aka what you see is what you get.

This is leftover 'new old stock', imported by me back when i was still a distributor (retired now), brand new in the box.
- Original item, contrary to so many counterfeit "used" Transparents out there.
- Unused being of import, gold being a soft material; the better the plugs they attach to, the tighter the contact -which is accoustically good-, but the higher the friction too. Gold does wear of.
- These are good cables on their own merit, ie without taking into account a price-to-performance ratio; that factored in too, they will surprise you, nothing in this price range is even near them and you've my word on that one. They do exactly what it says on the box, get out of the way; no colouring, no over-pronounced highs, lows, mid-lows, you name it, no screeching or sugaring. Transparent.
We need cables in our signal chain, an unfortunate axiom. And just like anything else, they tend to "add" in said signal chain, distort or alter no matter how slightly. Enter these, made not to impress with artificial boosting or altering, but to allow for as little interference as possible. And you'll hear that.
Even with this 'modest' set, one can expect blacker blacks, a better defined/clearer soundstage, more distinct or evident instrument separation, no nuances added by the material(s) used.

Retail, these went for around 480€.
Am asking for 200€ total. Paypal only.
Total as in:
- Paypal fees are included as per Head-Fi regs and on me, not you.
- Shipping is included and also on me, not you. Shipping consisting of national post service (ΕΛΤΑ) priority mail with tracking. Needless to say padding and an external carton are a given here, sufficient packing care will be taken.

* Willing to trade for a Forza Audioworks "Noir Hybrid HPC" or "Noir HPC Mk2", whichever plugs you may have it with, makes no difference; but it has to be 2 meters or longer, not shorter *

Ships from Greece (EU), two days after payment's received, at most. I plan for the next day, but you never know with family and responsibilities thereof, so erring on caution.
You'll know either way, as i'll email you to inform you the money's in and when it's due to ship, i'll email you again after it's shipped with your tracking number attached.

Interested in purchasing? Read this first please.
This item is properly functioning; technically speaking, it performs in 100% the way the manufacturer intended it to. Am a qualified technician and i have (re)checked this, with the relevant technical equipment, prior to making this listing.
As such, the "eBay phenomenon", aka refund requests purporting "malfunction", aka in actuality a smokescreen for the so very common "try and return" tactic, will not be grounds for a refund. You agree to this beforehand.
I am not renting, i am selling.
Refund requests claiming "misdirection", aka amounting to 'opinion', 'preference' and/or 'unrealistic expectations' from the buyer's side will be considered not valid, no matter how phrased. You agree to this beforehand.
Kindly consider before committing, no one's forcing your hand. Least of all me.

Any questions, by all means PM or post here.

Had listed a wrong retail price, only just noticed; have revised accordingly. Ironically, my asking price was fine.

Regardless, my apologies for the error.

Updated OP with a spoilered disclosure; an ongoing conversation with a colleague of mine has reminded me we live in a different world today. Have thus provided some additional clarity, hopefully to everyone's benefit.
My thanks in advance for your consideration.
