Unfortunately as I stated, I am not a vendor and don't have receipts.
Let's not play on words; since you offer products for sale, you
ARE a seller. Whatever your concept of commerce /trading, by offering products for sale, you are submitting yourself to scrutiny. I understand you're not a
merchant, but this is no excuse for not having invoices for the mics from which you have extracted the capsules. You should have the invoices from the seller/vendor of the mics. You should understand that claiming you don't have these invoices opens all sorts of suspicions (not authentic, stolen...).
I guess if you saw a Rolex on offer, you would want some document that proves authenticity, like an invoice...
if you are knowledgable about capsules, the pics clearly are Neumann.
Nothing looks more like a Neumann capsule than a counterfeit Neumann capsule. The differences are more subtle (metallization, tension, tolerances...).
I juat would not publicly discredit a person on a topic I wasn't familiar with based on their post number, that's all.
I don't think anybody discredited you. You are not known on this group, it's only legitimate that potential buyers ask for additional information. Your elusive (and not very convincing) answers have done nothing to comfort the concerns of a potential buyer.
Your stubbornness results in making you lose any chance of selling your items. Your loss...
