Question on Benz Trade-Ins

You can purchase new Benz carts at prices lower than those offered in the "trade-in" program. Do some homework and ask questions.

Yes, I understand this TVAD, I actually paid less than what the "commonly listed" trade-in program allowed, and this was from the Benz dealer in which I bought my previous Benz from. (So it was all legit)

I was the original owner of the trade-in cartridge, so this still leaves me unsure what the scoop is if I were to buy a used, dead Cartrdge from let's say an agon seller who was perhaps the original owner?

Also, I'm not referring to buying from online agon sellers, who may not actually be a recognized Benz Dealer, or from overseas. In these particular circumstances, one might get a swell deal, but in this scenario, I'm not so sure one has any warrantee to speak of? Mark

Certainly no warranty from Audiogonn sellers offering used carts. No idea of overseas sellers of new carts.

How much value is there in a warranty on a new cartridge? Not many moving parts that can fail. Of course, then answer to that question varies from buyer to buyer.

I know a dealer that will take any cart from Benz or Clear Audio but that may be a benefit to his loyal customers and not really the normal practice or it could be just up to the dealer to decide what he wants and doesnt want to do.
