I’m auctioning off out/away (? Non native speaker 😅) my old-ish gaming consoles and this person is asking about a unit’s serial number. Why? I mean, I put up more than ten images of the console from various angles and such… What’s the significance?
With many vendors, you can look up serials to validate that it is a genuine item, as well as warranty status, manuals, etc.
It’s buyer protection and due diligence.
Did this recently with a Dell laptop I wanted to buy second hand. In addition to checking warranty info, it was my way of checking whether the laptop history matched the sellers story and not stolen (it was surprisingly cheap)
Sweet! Thanks!
