Scarlet-TechI appreciate you responding.
No prob - I thought as no-one had, and you'd asked, I might as well
Scarlet-TechThe problem Is going to surface that the item was as described and passed the warranty that was offered by the manufacturer, for a used item. This item was not new when it was purchased, which was made known.
Being English, I can't really comment on Italian law, however, (here) that it was used wouldn't make a difference - the item would be required to remain of satisfactory quality for a reasonable period of time, although a compensation for the item being used would be applied when determining what would constitute "satisfactory quality" and "reasonable period of time", which may or may not bring it to a year or less*. However, and this is an important point, the retailer would bear any potential liability to the consumer, not the manufacturer.
For example, I have successfully claimed for a paintwork defect on a 5 year old car 4 months after purchase, because it was unreasonable for a vehicle of that age to have blistering paintwork (despite the vehicle having a 3 year paintwork warranty from the manufacturer).
* The exception would be if the item were sold as defective, in which case the indicated defect would not be covered, but any others would be.
However, I fear this is an imminent thread derailment from a (now resolved) complaint into an interesting (for me) theoretical discussion on consumer protection laws ... oops.
Scarlet-TechThe 750ti is an awesome card. I have one and getting a second.
It does look excellent, indeed - I really like the small size and lower power draw. Not quite powerful enough for my requirements (damn you, Metro!), but really nice none-the-less - I guess the GTX 860 will be really interesting!
