would this Deter you from buying used gear????


Remember the shooter(shooters) who terrorized the Washington DC area? Two of those shootings took place
within 3 miles of my home. As a result, I've become
involved with assembling a neighborhood watch group.
My question is, as part of this home safety program, it
will be a requirement to engrave my driver's license #
on posessions i.e. cameras, tv's, (and yes, audio gear.)
Would this process have any bearing on you buying quality
used gear from me????
Give it some thought, I foresee this scenario spreading
throughout our country.

My brother-in-law went to the trouble of buying a new Steinway ONLY if he could have the remaining Steinway sign the soundboard. He stupidly bought too large a piano for his square room (oy!). Wonder if his reasoning of increased-resale value will hold here? I was going to scratch my initials on the underside of mine, but its 1200 lb mass may be enough deterrence....
Aren't we talking about small engravings on the back or underside of equipment. Don't really see how it could seriously reduce used value. Maybe the answer is to remove outer casework and add IDs to the INSIDE, where every Susie Creamcheese on the assembly line probably scribbled her QA initials anyway! I dunno. Ern
