Audio Aero Capitole II with no serial numbers?

I"m kinda' concerned about something going on here, and I think people should be aware of possible illegal goings-on. There are people selling Audio Aero Capitole MkII CD players at big discounts, with lame reasons for why they are getting rid of them so fast. It seems obvious that they got hold of them through irregular channels and are flipping them immediately for a profit, by-passing the dealers, etc.
One guy says that the players are from Europe, with no serial numbers (?!?!?!?!?)and therefore no Warranty.
Like, I want to buy a player like that with no Warranty and probably no good will from the distributor or dealers here to help me out?!? How do I know that the player isn't stolen, and will be confiscated if I do take it to a place that knows how to fix it that has connections to Audio Aero?
BUYER BEWARE people!!!!

There have been a number of private
individuals,questionable dealers who have NOTHING
to do with the product, trying to sell these
players,ie for a friend,financial
reasons,personal problems,ect.The bottom line is
ANYONE who would fork out 6k(the ususal
discounted price by these individuals) or less
for a player(knowing very well the warranties are
on transferable) really should have their head
examined.ANY player that comes from a non
authorized dealer here,is up the creek with no
paddle.Though probably one of the best players
around,there have been some serious issues with
some of earlier players;.There is absolutely NO
WAY Audio Aero would release any player without a
serial #.Before buying get a serial # and email
Audio Aero Globe Audio to verify wether it is a
legitimate piece.

Bwhite.It has nothing to do with being an AA dealer.All I am saying is,I would not even consider buying a piece that expensive without some sort of protection,ie a warrantee.VAC,Krell,are very good examples of customer service.Each company has a policy,and Globe Audio has suberb custoomer service for those who have purchased from their dealer network.Many companies do not pass on the warrantee on past the original owner and have superb customer service.
