WD made me give a copy of a receipt to get an RMA #
Well sorry I shouldnt have said that no company allows it. Just all the ones that I've dealt with.

The early version of the pump has a known design flaw and therefore should be repaired regardless of warranty. At least that's what a company that stands behind their products would do.

the reason why a lot (
) of companies dont take products that were bought from a 3rd party is because there is no guarantee of what the 3rd party did with it. I could run an MCP600 dry and sell it on the forums. Regardless if the buyer has a receipt its not fair to have a manufacturer or retailer pay for something that wasnt used properly.
Sure that may not be the case here. But can you prove it? You cant even prove you bought it. If companies open their doors and waive all warranty restrictions it just invites those "immoral" people.
Yes the rev1. mcp600 had a known problem. Because of that the seller should either of dealt with that before selling it or the buyer should have been smart enough to not buy it.
Someone made a dumb decision, dont think Swifty should have to pay for it.
