My point is that I am happy to pay the repair costs. But the postage is
the killer. UPS quoted me over a hundred Euro to send the thing.
So my moan is that SD should have some authorised repair facility in
Europe.
No, that was a _silly_ analogy.
You took a risk buying secondhand to save a few bucks, with all the
information known or knowable in advance, and it didn't work out.
Bummer. Then you blamed the company and the engineering. Which is
sillier?
Come on, enough silliness. He bought a perfectly good second hand SB2,
which we can derive from the fact that it worked for four months. Fact
is that electronics can fail. I had an SB3 fail, thankfully it was still
under warranty, but if it had failed after 1 year, I would've been in
the same boat.
I realize that it is difficult for a small company like SD to provide
local service and it's probably unreasonable to scream and shout over
something you bought for 100 pounds. In the modern world these things
will cost as much to repair. Ever tried repairing a cell phone out of
warranty? You normally don't, you get a new one.
In spite of my SB3 experience I still consider SD's products to be solid
and reliable. My SliMP3 works as well as it did when I bought it in 2002.
Regards,
Peter
