arthury Posted January 25, 2007 Share #1 Â Posted January 25, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) How do people deal with warranty and special offers issues when they buy an M8 from a non-dealer seller in eBay? Even if the seller send his receipt to you, it woul have a different name on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted January 25, 2007 Share #2 Â Posted January 25, 2007 You register the camera on the Leica website using your own name. Leica guarantee is worldwide, so no grey market issues. What is a black market M8 anyway? I suppose you don't mean stolen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â In other words, you are free to buy from whomever with no need of an Authorized Dealer's receipt? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guy_mancuso Posted January 26, 2007 Share #5 Â Posted January 26, 2007 Yes demand a receipt with the purchase. Leica will do warranty work with a reciept from a authorized dealer that clearly shows the date Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

arthury Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share #8 Â Posted January 26, 2007 Thanks, Guy. Â BTW, I like your rebuttal at the PN thread on the M8. Well done! There are lots of looneys over in their Leica forum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guy_mancuso Posted January 26, 2007 Share #9 Â Posted January 26, 2007 Thanks Arthur i had a weak moment and posted over there knowing full well that some bean head would slam me. Pretty typical out there anymore. Honestly i much rather be here and help folks that are looking for it and listen to the good advice that the forum members gracely provide to others. Much healther and certainly satisfying too. Were all here to make the leica experience better for us and that is a great common goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
