Non-transferable warranties?
I think transferable warranties are more the exception than the rule in hifi. And as mcintech stated, it's often a warranty requirement that the item be purchased new from an authorized dealer.

Random question/ thoughts about stuff for sale here

nandric... I bought the Triplanar VII new in the USA ...Your arm sounds defective. If you purchased it new, it's surely covered under warranty. It should be returned to your dealer for service or replacement. 
Trade in value to a dealer
blang11Im curious why the original poster and another commenter feel they "wouldn't enjoy" selling on Agon or "don't feel comfortable". Why not? Is it a fear of not getting paid? I've had nothing but positive encounters with folks in this "com...

bob_rodgersI've dealt with Kevin a few times and he's always had a condescending attitude.Sadly, this sort of 'tude is not uncommon in our world of hi-fi. When I encounter it, I turn on my heels and walk.
