Per scalper hate, my own lil story....
It was a year after Megadeth-Rust in Peace album came out. They were doing the Live Rust in Peace video at Bogarts in Cincinnati, Ohio. Tickets were expensive for my broke rear-end, saw the show (let me get back to this part), LOUD as all hell, first time seeing Megadeth and stoked about seeing Marty nail all the leads for Tornado, Hangar, Lucretia, etc. About the 3rd song in, the lights come on and the fire marshall kicks everyone out...end of show. As you can guess, scalpers created tickets that were almost identical and the guys at the door couldn't spot the difference. The guy with the hand-held ticker was on it...probably the most sober guy there. Over attendance, over capacity...done. Everyone screwed.
I know that this comparison really is apples compared to hex-bolt drivers.... but its not always apparent who gets screwed in the end. But I assure you, someone will end up getting screwed. If an unknowing individual buys one without the warranty, and heaven forbid there's an issue, their $2500 unit could end up costing even more ($500 scalping/finder fee + repair out of pocket cost). I think the forum members here are looking out for the consumer's best interest and having a good time with it . Now, in the interest of capitalism, the person has done absolutely nothing wrong legally...
Though I never saw the original posting, the seller is posting no warranty and clearly outlined an itemized list of costs for his elevated price...so with that said, I think they've covered their moral bases... iunno... I wouldn't do it, but I wouldn't want to have to wait until June to buy one either. At the price it is now and the extra cost associated, why not just send it back and let the existing mechanism distribute accordingly?
