EB'd earbuds - Safe to sell? - andrewtate - 09-07-2022

I EB'd Bose earbuds, are they safe to sell? Let's just say that someone contacts support and gives them the serial number, even though I wrote that the warranty expired, would something be done? I'd prefer to sell them on my real eBay account, the items are associated to my real name.

It's quite unlikely to happen. Yet, If you're worried about such an event, just do an item swap after purchasing the same item from a different store (return the SEd pair for a legit refund, keep the freshly-bought one)

Always use fake credentials when Intending to buy & sell tech-based Items with Identifiable details - serials and IMEIs.

It doesn't stop the buyer from checking the warranty.

As @Ordnael92 mentioned above, It's very unlikely but It's not to say It won't happen.

Personally, I wouldn't be too concerned about It.

Yes, It should always be assumed with every SE.

Even if Bose finds out, will they do anything about it for a $200 item?

I highly doubt It.

The manpower and administration costs, significantly outweighs the cost of the Item.

Do you think people would go as far to a refund if its got no warranty on the item?

Hi, I have a question regarding this. If I were to swap the headphones I.e order another pair from a different retailer, would the retailer be able to track the serial number and identify that I have swapped the pairs over? Perhaps @mothered may have some insight?
