It should be illegal for companies to sell products like this without a giant warning. "Your warranty will not be valid, since we're not even supposed to sell this product."

It feels like fraud. Wild that it's A-OK for Amazon to profit on this at the expense of the consumer.

"Unauthorized retailer" doesn't mean they shouldn't be selling the product, just that they don't adhere to the manufacturer's pricing and advertising policies.

So to flip it on its head, why should the manufacturer be allowed to constrain the warranty just because a retailer doesn't toe the line on pricing?

It’s sleazy behavior for sure, which is why I no longer buy any expensive items off Amazon.
