The Cable Company Launches usedcable.com

9-Jun-00

Ten years ago, The Cable Company revolutionized high end audio cable retailing by developing a ""library"" evaluation system which allows enthusiasts to compare several brands at home before making a purchase decision. Now, in a move equally as innovative, The Cable Company debuts an e-tail site to serve as an on-line buy/sell/trade marketplace for used high-end audio and video cables: www.usedcable.com. Because usedcable.com buys its products outright - from individuals, retailers and manufacturers - rather than merely listing or consigning them, usedcable.com offers a one-year limited warranty and a 30-day exchange privilege. Users will appreciate other innovative aspects of this site - the level of personal service, information and advice available on www.usedcable.com. The Cable Company maintains an extensive cable-matching database allowing staff members to give component-specific cable matching advice to audiophiles all over the world via the Web. ""The level of Internet activity in the used part of our cable business has been much greater than we originally anticipated,"" said Robert Stein, President, ""enough so that we felt it should have its own identity and focus. Now, after months of beta test shakeout, usedcable.com is ready for a wider audience. Beyond providing consumers with a place to buy and sell high-end cable, we'll serve as an outlet for cable manufacturers to move their excess stock and for retailers to liquidate their demos and trade-ins. "" A leader in high end cable retailing, The Cable Company also specializes in room acoustics, resonance control products and a broad range of audiophile accessories.
