In Reply to: Mcintosh lawyer harassing me - What should I do? posted by Ethannnn on February 23, 2004 at 07:12:05:
Reading the correspondence from Mcintosh to you, it seems like a reasonable request. They are merely asking you to state explicitly that the warranty does not transfer (unlike Bryston and some other products). If you were not including the manual then I would like to know that too. Basically you are selling the amplifiers with "less" than you purchased and the potential buyer is entitled to that information.
