Hi folks,

I am from Australia and I am looking to buy one of these dual format players. Before making a decision , I got a question for you guys regarding warranty

question is Is International warranty available on both players?

I bought a new BH200 on Ebay. It failed. LG will not honor warranty because they consider a web buyer to be the second owner and only original owners are covered. They have a year warranty and mine was manufactured in Dec 2007. It does not matter. LG is a company that looks for reasons not to honor a warranty.

I bought my LG BH200 on eBay, my invoice specifically says eBay and LG had no problem honoring my warranty.

If it gets sent in for repair, I don't care where you bought it from I will warranty it for repair.

well i tried to sell one of my lg bh200's on ebay and got a threatening letter from a corporate lawyer from lg stating a cease and disist order and threatening to prosecute me unless i ended the sale of it, which i might add was well over $400. It pissed me off. Care to elaborate samsungmaster???

I was referring to warranty work being honored not the selling of products on ebay. That is something out of my control.

Did you include any copyrighted information in your listing like photos from the LG website, product description, etc. Something must've ticked off LG.

i dunno, i got the images from google, but dammmmmmmm it scared and pissed me off at the same time. Funny thing is my dad is a lawyer and im starting law next semester, but i dont want to get into a pissing contest with a multi-billion dollar company.

P.S. That bh-200 is still for sale if anyone wants it. 325 shipped????

maybe samsungmaster should have a talk with the pr department about their corporate "nazi" lawyers

Did you list it as new or used. You should not have a problem selling it if you list it was used.

as per ebays description of "new", i listed it as new. I had never opened it, ergo, it was new. Its the same as selling a car, i doesnt matter if it moves from one car dealership to another as long as the odometer say 0. The LG was unopened, ergo new. I did state in the ad it was my personal backup unit so it wasnt like i was implying there was a warranty. I dunno????

Since you were selling it was "new" you were not an authorized reseller, that was probably why LG sent the letter.
