I know this might be talked about with laptops, monitors and the like but I recently purchased a used T320 off ebay from a reputable pawnshop. The problem is this beautiful beast has warranty until 2017 but dell will not honor the warranty until I can properly identify the previous owner. I have explained that I purchased from a pawnshop with the invoice and service tag clearly visible through ebay. They have no identifiable information from the previous person and now I might be stuck with a $700 machine just in case it ever breaks down. Before you go and say oh why did you buy used bla bla or Thats what you get for buying online. Yes I know these issues sometimes arise but I work in IT and trying to further my knowledge while maintaining 2 jobs with a recent set of twins and all of this while supporting my family all with my income. Total of us is 5 so the fact that I needed to buy this thing used was because I could afford this and what I am trying to learn. I hope someone from dell can make an exception to my particular instance because I have the proof that I myself have purchased this and the store can vouch that I indeed purchase this. No funny business trying to go on.
I also tried to register with my name and also use the correct dell transfer of warranty link but was denied.
