You are the dufus who has no idea how it works. If you bought something and it was registered to
you, and then you returned it, the warranty does not transfer to the new owner. It doesnt work that
way. If you were the one that bought the product after it was returned, then when something goes
wrong with it, you are not covered because warranties are generally not transferable. I have my own
computer business and work out of an authorized repair center and what you are proposing is insane
and will never happen. The fact that you want it does not mean it can ever happen. And I will be
proven right because there will be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay tooo much paperwork. Do you know how many
people come in for repairs that received items for xmas or birthday gifts? Guess what ??? No one
gets any item fixed without their ORIGINAL RECEIPT. THats how the manufacturers do it. So, everyone
that got a gift are not getting their product fixed under your chaotic scenario. You have no idea
how warranties work.

Again, it will never happen, nor do I think it should. Do you realize that some people pay cash and
will never give their name and address to any clerk at a store. WHat happens in that case? What
happens to the small mom and pop stores that do not have the ability to register a product for you?
Do you know how many small stores still do not even use computers? WHat about the shady electronics
stores in the Broadway Theater district in Manhatten? Do you think for one second they are going to
be responsible enough to go with you idiotic plan? They cant even speak English. They take cash
without charging tax. They sell gray market goods. They are not going to do anything more than they
do now.

Aint gonna happen. Just buy something, keep the receipt and have it ready when you need a warranty
repair. It has worked that way forever and it cannot, and will not change.
