Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Buy from authorized or unauthorized dealer?

You raise an interesting issue that there ought to be some "regulation" in the industry. If you purchase a unit that is really "NEW," without modification and a valid serial number, then it should have the manufacturer's warranty. PERIOD!!!!!

In my strong opinon, this situation is a racket and the manufacturers and etailers are taking advantage of the public.

My recommendation, if you live in the States, is to contact your congressman and senators and complain about the situation. Who knows, perhaps the threat of legislation, will help clean up some of these problems.
