This can be done in a number of ways: 1) If Grado is selling to them they can stop selling to them; or 2) find out who is selling to them by tracing the serial number and stop selling to them; or 3) send a nice letter or email requesting they stop. I am sure Grado doesn't want their authorized dealers to suffer because of one rouge e-seller. |

Not necessarily the pair you sent in-- I got back a nonpackaged pair of what I guess were returned merchandise that tested fine, but that still usually counts as reconditioned. |
