I don't understand, if my new box was given a new warranty and I destroyed my old one, gave a new person the new box and a month later he/she had to claim the warranty. Shouldn't they be able to do this.
I don't see why Magic-Flight would say my warranty is now active after they shipped the replacement. I wouldn't want to give someone a really used mflb and would prefer them not to go through the reclaiming the warranty hassle themselves.
I wouldn't be wary of a $50-60 MFLB, I purchased mine for 80 in 2011 brand new from Amazon. I saw a Ascent on CL for 75, that I'd be wary of (but I'd still call and try and it get if it wasn't posted over 20 days ago), I didn't think anyone in my town would even own that.
I guess I just don't see how you can meet someone in real life, give them money and not even test or see the product before exchanging money, sounds like being a poor consumer.
EDIT:
By I don't understand, I really mean, I understand but can't see the logic where the person wouldn't be able to replace the box given that a new warranty is given out for the different box. Also you don't have to "return" the box as much as you have to take a picture of its individual parts.
