Cartridge without serial?


Hey everyone,

Curious as to if anyone has ever purchased a cartridge without a serial number? I'm looking to purchase a cartridge, but the seller has mentioned it doesn't have a serial number, which thus no warranty. Mind filling in my feeble thoughts as to this being a scam? Seller has zero bad reviews and hundreds of positive ones, but isn't based in the US. Any help is appreciated!

Even if the quantities are incorrect, Chackster is absolutely correct on what he describes about the "system" of rats out there.  I worked in consumer electronics for 40 years until retiring from the workforce 3 years ago.  We constantly had issues like this.  It's called either "gray market" or "transshipping".  Or worse, fake knock-off product, typically from China.  I strongly urge that you don't support this business channel as it erodes the manufacturers credibility and most certainly the authorized dealers.  And besides, you may end up with a fake, knock-off product.
Sorry but you lost me on that.

don't worry be happy ... you don't always have to take these things seriously, there are other real tragedies in life.
@mammothguy54  You make an interring point. Is it possible that the cartridges in question, Zyx's, Benz's, Koetsu's and others that are being offered from these grey market vendors are in fact knock-off's? This would certainly explain the lack of a serial number and the annoyance of the very small manufacturer who apparently has logistical stock control.
