Are they real? That deal seems too good to be true. I think they almost have to be counterfeit.

I wonder if the Chinese people get pissed when they come to the U.S. and buy souvenirs only to find they were made in China?

Let us know how those cables work for you over time - even though they show Whirlwind labels, they could be counterfeit.
I try to avoid all Hong Kong and China sellers on fleabay now.
I saw some Fender electric strings, ended up wining two sets, 1 at $1.50, the other at $2.25, both including mailing cost.
They came in - counterfeits! Insert on the plastic case looked real, but obviously was just scanned/printed, as inside the strings were in individual cellophane envelopes labeled '1 -E', '2-B', etc, no Fender logos. I complained to the seller that they were counterfeit and I was going to report him to ebay unless he refunded my money - he did!

It appears they sold out. Listing has ended.

They did have a link on the page to (4) of those 20ft cables for $25.00 which is still a steal, but not as good as $3.99 each :/

Save him as a seller in your Ebay and check back on him, likely he will have them on sale again.

What I don't like about those cables: no strain relief. The only thing keeping the cable attached to the plugs are the solder joints.

Chances are quite high they wil fail when you need them the most...and soon. Cheap crap is cheap for a reason.
