Corsair Warranty invalid if bought on ebay?

[promposive]

I have a stick of corsair ram that is bad, and Im looking through the RMA process, and it says:
"This lifetime warranty applies to parts that were purchased from Corsair-authorized resellers, or were supplied by Corsair directly. Authorized resellers are resellers who are listed on Corsair?s web site at the time of module purchase."

The ram had been working fine for almost a year, but now is bad (tested in 2 diff. systems even)... Am I screwed?

Anyone have experience in this?

Thanks

parody?

if not, I think you're screwed because doesn't the warranty only apply to the original buyer?

No-one has ran into this before, or? I thought corsair was best ram, had lifetime warranty, etc... but if this is true the warranty sucks.

Most companies only honor warrenties to the original purchaser.

I'll just fill out the rma form and see what happens I guess. I've rma'd through them before and I remember it being a painless process, but I bought that stick from zipzoomfly.. so lets see I guess.

Thanks

A lot of the times these companies do not ask for the receipt or invoice so you can get away with the lifetime warranty.
I guess this method works in a way so that there are repeate customers down the road.

Text - I'm the OP. I didn't tell them I bought the four sticks on eBay. Didn't need to though, the RAM turned out to work fine in the right combination.

Reading through that thread, I have had a motherboard with a bad DIMM slot, where it would BSOD and fubar up the HD if I used a DIMM in that slot.

I once had an issue with memory (CF) from Lexar, they just asked me to ship them the defective product and enclose my return address -- no invoice or proof-of-purchase. Within 2 weeks I had a new piece of memory. No harm in trying, but don't mention anything about eBay
