Who knows...but if it's on the "interweb" it's got to be true, right?

Hmmmmmm indeed. The low post count caught my attention. Usually when there's someone with so few posts spouting off nonsense like that it's a second account some weenie bumper made. Never can tell if they're bumpin' baby weiners. :shock:

babelfish doesn't have the ability to decode this foreign dialect without it 1st being identified by country of origin. Any ideas guys? I'm really curious as to what this means in English.

I have no confidence in Numark/Akai either, so I'm not sure what you're talking about.

From Wiki

  • In commercial and consumer transactions, a warranty is an obligation or guarantee that an article or service sold is as factually stated or legally implied by the seller.
  • In business and legal transactions, a warranty is an assurance by one party to the other party that certain facts or conditions are true or will happen; the other party is permitted to rely on that assurance and seek some type of remedy if it is not true or followed.

That "sold as is" mentality may come back to hurt you if you ever get something that is DOA, dies as soon as you get it home from the store, or simply does not do what it's advertised to do. Warranty does not simply imply postmortem repairs, it is also a guarantee that the product follows legal patent laws, is within regulations and doesn't contain illegal amounts of lead or combustible material and generally is as it is claimed to the buyer. As for the issue of repairs and parts, like I said, it sounds like you haven't put enough money into gear to appreciate this facet. What happens if the company just up and disappears and they have no bounding documentation to even acknowledge you or your purchase -- and it never even worked once since you bought it? Would you not want or expect a replacement for this piece of gear that you're over zealously supporting and hunkering down to buy? It's no fun, nor impressionable, if you never get to use it. Well, warranty covers that...in such a case.

As far as romancing, or "making out with the seller", as you put it. I get free gear and sometimes gear before it reaches the public at times. Sometimes they send something out for us to test and get feedback on, and just let us keep it. Why? It's because these companies have gained my trust, and I bring them a lot of business and give them my own. Some of my relationships, be that with stores, manufacturers or such, often leads me to commune with them on a first name basis. They take care of me when I need. I've had a few companies replace something that was past warranty, free, overnight, simply because of relationships. Couple that with a quality product and I'm happy. I'm not sponsored by, nor do I endorse said companies, but I know...from past dealings...that they support their business philosophies, and for that I have no hesitation. Not all companies I deal with do this, of course. You can keep the "buy as is" mentality though.

Smoothz,

How were the guys from beatkangz "hazed"?

And you mean to say if you spend alot of cash on a new machine and it craps out, it's your fault because of "buyer's beware"? And you won't be pissed? I call bullsh1t.
