Extended warranty question

[dhilbe]

I've been thinking about purchasing a SP on eBay or Craig's list. There appear to be a number of sellers who have yet to unwrap their SP. Anyway, I really want the Microsoft Extended warranty. Anyone have any idea if I can purchase a "used" SP from an individual and then purchase the extended warranty from MS? Would it make a difference if the unit was unopened? Thanks in advance, Dave

I doubt Microsoft or any other store would give you a warranty, the only place that I see you getting a warranty from is Square trade.

Which a link should be in the eBay ad rite under the buy it now or bid button on eBay.

Welcome to the forum
You can try. If it really hasn't been registered you may be able to get the extended warranty from MS. But if they ask for proof of purchase you're probably a dead duck.

I bought my new SP3 from Amazon, and was still able to purchase the 2 year warranty through the Microsoft store at the mall.
