hey gear lovers 
i send a mail to a german online retailer, thomann to be exact, and asked them
if I had the same coverage for their products, if I buy it second hand, with remaining warranty and held the receipt / invoice in my hand …
surprisingly the answer was N O
their argument was, when I make a purchase, I enter into a legally binding agreement of 2 parties i.e. ME and the Retailer.
once the good will be sold to a third party (i.e. userXYZ on ebay or wherever)
you can ONLY claim warranty disputes from that seller and NOT from the retailer anymore…
i didnt know that!
what are your thoughts on that?
… i know this is very germany specific, but i assume european law is pretty similar …
I sold gear with the original receipt which was under warranty, never dreaming of having to deal with 3 rd party issues afterwards , i also wrote a little sales note saying it was a private sale …bölablalbalbllöö … any lawyers around? *g
