Did I Get Duped By This PC?




Folks, a few days ago got two PCs for my bedroom system from eBay. In short seller described them as power cables with "replica" (read fake) Oyaide plugs. I didn't have a problem with the fake plugs. I paid $110 for each of them (2 meters each).

Yesterday, out of curiousity, I did a search on the seller, and found out that he was being dishonest in not too distant past with the customers advertising fakes as the real thing. So, I took one cord out of the system, and upon close examination noticed this writing on the jacket: "Audiopipe HWY 836 USA Standard 8 gauge Primary Wire PW8".

I went to Audiopipe's website, and found that wire. What was interesting, they never use the word copper in their description, even though they said it's OF.

I have 3 questions:

1. Are they safe to use?
2. What could the wire composition be?
3. Did I get duped?

Thank you
