I bought my Logitech G533 a year and a half ago. Had decent reviews, and I got it new for a reasonable price on eBay. Two days ago, the mic broke, and I discovered it's a known issue (Reddit link) since 5 years ago. But, I thought, clearly this would be covered by its two-year warranty! Doesn't even require a receipt if you just need a replacement! So naturally the rep says:

  1. The warranty applies from date of manufacturer unless you have a receipt to prove date of purchase.
  2. They won't accept a receipt from eBay, as eBay's not a licensed reseller, and they consider the new, in box item "second hand."
  3. They'd love to help me, but there's simply nothing they can do ๐Ÿ™‚

Yes, fucking emoji and all. So I'm typing up a complaint to my state consumer protection agency and spreading the word not to trust Logitech more than you can throw them.

Is this standard? Probably. Should it be? Hell no.

At this point, might try to repair it myself; but I'll likely be out another $100 for my second headset in as many years.

Won't click reddit link to see but tear it apart if it won't get warrantied, what do you have to lose?

And don't buy "new" shit from ebay. I hate what amazon does but you do have a record of who you bought it from and usually the lowest price on something like this.

There are other options besides ebay and Amazon. Like OP is finding, getting a warranty claim from an ebay purchase is unlikely, and Amazon are straight up evil. But these aren't your only options

[โ€“] fodder69 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

True, but sadly that headset is $60 at Amazon right now versus 80-95 everywhere else based on a quick search.

Some stores will do price matching with Amazon. Especially the bigger retailers trying to compete with Amazon. I haven't tried to go through the price matching process so maybe it's a pain in the ass, but it's available.
