Question about VPI Warranties

Hello all,
Not long ago,, I bought a piece of brand new VPI factory sealed gear from a fine seller (name witheld), and the question I have is, will I have any sort of warrantee from the manufacturer? On thier warrantee card, it clearly asks for a Dealer's name-address, but it appears the seller is reluctant to provide such information, and I don't know why this would be a problem? Unless of course thier is a grey market for VPI products, (which I strongly doubt?)

Provided there is no such thing as a "grey market" with VPI Products, I'd then assume the seller did indeed buy the component from an authorized dealer, and I see absolutely no harm in the seller providing me this information, and just saying "That it was a Christmas Gift"? Mark

Sorry- I must have been asleep- I thought the post was about VTL, not VPI. Harry and VPI are by all accounts wonderful people with great products. Apologies to all.

VPI is one of the finest manufacturers and supporters of this industry. Harry and Sheila are good people and have always been helpful to me when I had questions about my Aries 2. Same goes for Dan D'Agostino, Richard Vandersteen, Jim Thiel and Mark O'Brien: good people making good products in the USA.

A warranty is a specific legal right. In most if not all states failure to file a warranty card does not void your warranty. The obvious benifit of filing a warrnty card is that you don't have to worry later about proving date of purchase. Some companies give additional rights if you file the card on time.
You may however have to submit the receipt.
