Its regarding this for sale on ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...730321337&rd=1


*The seller is selling it for someone else.
*If you read the ad he says its an insurance replacement,but dont they send you a cheque re burglaries.
*I emailed the seller re a warrenty,but he said it was a replacement by the insurance company and no warrenty documents were supplied.Bit crap on a new £1300 item.

Any opinions.
btw,i'd collect it in person,no way would i send off the money.
The reserve is £700.

I had a combination of good delivered and a cheque. The products had manufaturers warranties.

Did you have a choice about it?

no choice about it....I had 90% replacement items

Paul,

Yes, these days many do (provide replacement goods that is!). The reason being that insurers are often able to souce identical goods far more cheaply than you or would pay - hence it reduces the cost the claim.

However, as far as I'm aware, the products are normally supplied with the normal manufacturer's warranty.

HTH

paulr

okay,i see.

But, if I were thinking of buying it I would insist on seeing some form of documentation that proves that the insurer supplied it - if they claim that it doesn't exist I'd be incredibly wary.

700 is over my budget anyway.

I would say dodgy.

You don't have to have your items replaced by the ins co.

You can ask for their current value.
