Watch out buying used or even new smartys

Mad Electronics website has a warning about not buying from an authorized dealer. So the guys listing there new unopened smarty's in the classified section here or other places dont come with any kind of dealer assistance.

Am I reading this right?

I think that mainly points to the "dealers"on ebay but could be wrong.

Last sentence

" No authorized dealers on E-BAY!!!
NOT AUTHORIZED = NO WARRANTY
MADS products purchased on eBay do not carry a warrant. Be careful !
Only Smarty purchased from authorized distributor or dealer receives assistance"


Which is it?

You mean the Smarty I bought off of ebay for $19.99 that shipped from China won't be supported by Bob and Marco? I knew it was too good to be true...
