I'm constantly seeing the same things you mention, especially on e:Bay. I'll see a Mark Levinson 331, 332, or 333 advertised with "remainder of factory warranty". And how many years out of production are these?
As far as the high end companies who've dropped their transferrable warranties, Shame On Them! I won't buy anything from a company that has done this to their customers. I do think it's just a matter of time before someone or a group takes one of these manufacturers to court.
There are enough hi-end companies who treat their customers very well, why buy from someone with planned & scheduled obsolescence?
I'm going home to have a beer!
