It may just be jewelry but you still deserve what you pay for. Its like buying a diamond ring and discovering its actually CZ. It still severs the same purpose just as well but its not what you paid for and it doesn't have the resale value it should.
Usually, I side with the consumer on these types of issues. Especially where cables and other such goods that lend themselves to specious claims. But I'm finding it hard to get too worked up on the behalf of those purchasers of the 87%-93% silver cables. With cables, you're already making a kind of leap of faith aren't you? I'll answer that. Yes, you are. And to those people who have purchased the "not-up-to-spec" cable, what are your real damages? You certainly can't hear any difference (to claim otherwise strains all boundaries of reason). It turns green. So what? If I were the vendors in this situation (which of course I am not), then I would offer, at most, to refund a percentage of the purchase price that represents the percentage off of 99.whatever% these were supposed to be. I don't know enough about their businesses to know if that is even a plausible solution. Maybe replacing is actually easier than having that cash go out the door. But some "recall" and replacement program seems like a bad solution to a relatively minor problem.
