I agree with those that have stated that this is not a usual situation. I have been very pleased with the support of used products by companies such as Atma-Sphere, Audio Note, and Audio Research.
Please note that the ten brands represented by this distributor are not cheap in price- not by any means! They are:
Atoll Electronique
Fischer & Fischer
BC Acoustique
Acoustic Solid
Accustic Arts
Audia Flight
MOSSCADE
HiDiamond
GoldeNote
NAT Audio.
As the distributor has made very clear to me, his policy is identical for all these brands: "We ONLY service products that are either bought from our firm or through an authorized dealer (similar policy to other manufacturers)".
When I informed this distributor that I would be bringing his policy to the attention of the internet audiophile community, he responded, in full: "whatever" (sic)
Sheesh...
