"Likewise, if your SN was registered at some point by a previous owner, you are likely all set."
This was the argument someone else brought forward with me and if that was the case then why are the 1st demands from dealers asking for the sales receipt ? My phone conversation with one of the largest dealers and my screen shot with ladd clearly said they don't have any database or info. Registering them I haven't seen any benefit if they can't or don't use it. Another reason I would like to see serial numbers reflect build dates is to make sure a "new" machine isn't sold after sitting a year on the shelf. I think this is why you see some random people with "new" machines have battery issues after a year or two. Those batteries don't hold up well sitting long periods of time without at least a 50% charge. Actually, if you plan to store for months its best to only have a 50% charge on them checking every 3 months. Yes, if you can trace the dealer who sold the machine they can copy you sales receipts. I would make sure those also included serial numbers if they can. Sometimes they get drop shipped and the dealer doesnt even see or touch the machine. Receipts with serial numbers should have been mandatory from the start. A paper that just shows a machine was sold on a date with an address doesnt prove its the machine I have or need warranty service for.. Legally, its garbage.
