Just so I'm explaining what I've heard, the student has a warranty. That they sold it to someone else, and someone like myself buys it for 30% off list, I'm the one with no warranty.Gee, I wouldn't like that. There should still be a warranty. I wouldn't like that.
Not that It applies to me as a student or anything.
I'm not sure, it's what I've heard. Because one can't produce a receipt proving an authorized purchase, when one got it from an eBay seller "BigPawn99!" or something. But then again, they're hand tools, what's going to go wrong? And food for thought, the repair kits for ratchets are very inexpensive--why would they exist and are for sale, if the majority have a warranty? If anyone pays list price, well, they're so fortunate to be able to afford such a price. Few would be willing to pay those numbers. And isn't it the same with car repair....do you pay $170 that you can get on the internet, have a garage install said part, with no warranty, or pay the same garage $380 where they get the part for you, and provide a 2 year 24,000 mile warranty? That $210 extra is buying the 2/24, it really depends on the part and how much labor is involved with a redo....starter motor with 2.5 hours labor, I paid the higher amount last week...garage is pretty confident they're not going to be redoing the job and they enjoy the margin afforded by selling the parts for list...
