Since you know the seller I would suggest calling and/or e-mailing VPI to see if the warranty is transferable. In the event there is an "issue" with how the seller got the item you know who to go after. I think it would be best to find out now if the item is not as it was presented. To ease your fears, if the seller is a regular on Audiogon I wouldn't think the worst, 99% of the folks here are good up-standing citizens, some of them are just a little socially inept!
Question about VPI Warranties
Hello all,
Not long ago,, I bought a piece of brand new VPI factory sealed gear from a fine seller (name witheld), and the question I have is, will I have any sort of warrantee from the manufacturer? On thier warrantee card, it clearly asks for a Dealer's name-address, but it appears the seller is reluctant to provide such information, and I don't know why this would be a problem? Unless of course thier is a grey market for VPI products, (which I strongly doubt?)
Provided there is no such thing as a "grey market" with VPI Products, I'd then assume the seller did indeed buy the component from an authorized dealer, and I see absolutely no harm in the seller providing me this information, and just saying "That it was a Christmas Gift"? Mark
