Default 10 XLR cables on Ebay for $40!!!

Yeah, so on ebay it takes just a few seconds to find ten 25ft. xlr's for a very cheap price.
I figured i would order them to have quite a few extra sitting around, but i then realized that something this cheap can't be reliable. Or, maybe it can be????

Any input?? Click here to check it out

I don't think I'd want cables that have been wound that tightly. They'll be a bitch to straighten out, and the stress might kill one or two of them. They'll probably be a bitch to coil properly afterwards too.

But they have a 7 day return on them, so if cheap is what you're after, why not?

i Didn't see that there was a 7 day return, so thanks for pointing that out. I didn't even consider how they were wound and this is a good point. Well, i think i'll grab em for the price, and return them if I'm not satisfied. Thanks.

In the end, i'll most likely be saying, "you buy a 4 dollar cable, you get a 4 dollar cable"
