saturn Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I hope this isn't too dumb a question. Not that I would buy a guitar there, but I like to surf Ebay guitar listings. I see many listings by people who state that they purchased the guitar solely to re-sell. They say things like "I'm not a dealer, I just enjoy buying guitars and selling them." A few things confuse me. 1. Does this void a warranty? 2. If they're not dealers, do these guys buy them at wholesale or retail? Why would I buy from yet another middle-man?

Robin Nahum Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 1. If you mean the manufacturer's warranty, it depends on what terms the manufacturer has specified. Some manufacturers will warrant a product for a fixed period of time or amount of usage (such as number of miles) regardless of change of ownership during the warranty period. Others will only offer a warranty to the original purchaser. 2. If they're not dealers, they might have snapped up a bargain knowing they can resell at a higher price. Or they might be people who are well off enough to pay for a short "trial" of a particular instrument. I imagine you'd buy from "yet another middle man" when the middle man offers you an attractive deal. RN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
