...Dream on! A lawyer would probably examine OGR's epray feedback (100% last I looked) and ask the potential plaintiff "where's the beef". IOW, apparently OGR takes care of the occasional disgruntled customer in a mutually satisfactory manner. No doubt, this is why epray takes no action.
Although the typical reaction of the knowledgable tubophile to OGR's sales gimmick is outrage, western capitalist/free enterprise culture still strongly embraces "caveat emptor". This attitude exists in many other areas of the consumer products industry such as homeopathic (but unproven) ED cures and, depending on your point of view, majik audiophile crystals.
Don't know how long you've been around here but years ago there was another tube "entrepreneur" on epay known as the "The Tube Museum". He did the same kinda stuff that OGR is accused of now. And same tubophile outrage. Some well meaning but ignorant zealot decided to take matters into his own hands by actually purchasing known "fraudulent" tubes from TTM and leaving negative feedback warning prospective purchasers to stay away BEFORE receipt of tubes. Things did not go well for Mr. Zealot. TTM complained to epay, got the feedback removed and Mr. Zealot was banned from epay for a period for leaving unwarranted and malicious feedback.
I believe the lesson here is that one should take comfort in one's personal tube knowledge and as Guido the pimp admonished: "Don't f--k with a mans livelihood" unless you really, really know what you're doing.
