It reads, "ONLY LEGAL STUFF ARE ALLOWED"

Should read, "ONLY LEGAL STUFF IS ALLOWED"

Don't want to be nit picking.

it is about making a distinction to 'only' which renders it singular (since only one type of stuff), thus 'is' than 'are'.
 
Why not just put "Dealers must sell items that complies with the "URL of the list goes here" and mention what do you mean by "legal stuff". Pirated software is a no-no, but there are times dealers sell stuff without proper bill without serial numbers. There was a time when a dealer said he was selling an OEM product, but after pointing it out and asking certain questions he replied that he cannot assure if its a genuine product. I think I pmed about this to Eddy (not too sure, its been months) but there was no actual proof to prove it and some people freaked out, defending the dealer :P. Frikkin' dealer fanboys :P.

I think you PM'ed me about bills. Don't remember the OEM software part. Could you re-check?

We ask for TIN/VAT info before signing on dealers, so we assume they are selling stuff with proper bills. Not sure if we should make it a rule, since as advised by gmano earlier, its really upto a dealer.
 
^^ He said it is was an OEM in that thread. I don't really want to pull that thread out now, maybe the link was attached on that PM.

Besides, Dealers are using TE as a platform out of which few of them are calling themselves as "certified" dealers (lolwut) wherever they are doing business (Mumbai, Delhi- wherever these blokes have a store in). The least they should do is provide a proper bill or don't sell that item at all. TE is a very active tech forum, not a retail space where you rent/buy it out and you can do business however you want to do it. Their wrongdoings in sales and service directly affects the reputation of TE.

Since you're bothering admin, bother him a bit more and see if he could put up an archive section for GOOC '10. That's th very first ln2 oc qualifier we had and people won great stuff with couple of them chickening out :P. But still, such things should be archived rather than being removed. The only record (a somewhat vague one) that most probably exists about GOOC '10 Indian qualifiers is in Techtree.

Actually, 'Stuff' is a noun that is uncountable i.e. an uncountable noun. For all good English usage, it does not have a plural. So, 'Stuffs' as an usage is not good English though it is used at some places these days.

e.g. I have lots of useless stuff lying around in my room. Here, 'lots' indicates plural but I have still kept 'stuff' as it is and not added an extra 's' to it.

e.g. I have a lot of useless stuff lying around in my room. Here, 'lot' is an uncountable noun again and so is 'stuff' & both can be taken in the plural sense.

@ Gannu: I am an English Nazi as well.. Lolzzz :P

Lol... We all learn from each other... :P

BTW, I had made a minor grammatical error myself. I had written '... not added a extra...' Whereas it should be '... not added an extra...' Lolzzz :D

Well ,
Is there a rule that serial numbers should be written in bills .The Only benefit is that is in warranty a product goes bad and the service center demands it its more convenient and you do not have to run after dealers .If indeed you people do not see any serial no in any bill people can themself write it also .Its not a crime to do this IMHO .No Dealer Can Deal At Such a scale on a open platform without bills and all .As you are the only self acclaimed guru of everything in india i think you should know this .Lol [ BTW You have new masala now to write upon on your dhamaka blog ] .BTW i got a funny pm from someone that some person completely overpowered his thread in some forums by taking some mods into confidence [ Thank God it was not TE lol ] .Also Why are you Always loggerheads with dealers everywhere .Might be you have direct contacts with factories all across the world ,but understand that a basic user is not you .If you are so concerned its time you either make your own forum and add all the restrictions there that keep popping in your head time and again .Might be then we all can see how many dealers actually deal on your forum .Also any view point that you have is yours some people can agree to it and many will not .The attitude where you start hating a person if he does not agree with your viewpoints literally is yuck .Yes you too have a bunch of friends here and on all forums but i am sure others too have em .Survival of others would be a sorry state in a domain with you operate upon if other people did not have fanboys :bleh:

Peace @ All

Amarbir Paaji! Did you forget your medication? You're a channel partner if I am not mistaken and we both know that this is called bill tampering and if a bill is tampered, RMA will be refused. But if an official channel partner for more than one manufacturer who happen to say this in a clear message on a public forum and if the manufacturers get to know this, you're damaging your own credibility as a genuine dealer/channel partner ((maybe affect the acceptance of RMA of the product sold by you?? You should know as you say you know more than me in regards to RMA policy so we'll assume that's true for a moment)). Now, we don't want THAT to happen, would we?

Are you high or something like excess of desi daru:P WTH you suggested to temper original bill and apparently don't have importance of SN. The bill without SN would become universal for whole lot by the company:P, tempered bill when produced at RMA center will either see rejection or could lead to 420, if they want. Further if RMA consider bill without SN, warranty would be calculated from the date of import/production, usually two three months less warranty.
 
By the way Amarbir needs to stop calling and harassing people when they post about his service on the forums. IINM You threatened a lot of people, one of them being India Broadband forum's admin (just because you were not able to say whether you have a 6-to-8pin pcie connector???). IINM, its not just Tiwari, but you called up Asingh and harassed him 2 months ago?

People seriously need to smarten up before giving him personal/home numbers. If he is not into parallel imports (( and since he does have a valid VAT/CST Number )), why does he not mention the serial number on the bill? Amarbir clearly stated the only benefit (yes, its true that a valid bill with the serial code will save YOU the trouble should they not find the serial number or have some issue from their end) one will have- so why not mention it? Not everyone can take the burden to ship it to dealer for a warranty. They are better off dropping it to the nearest service centre!!
 
How the fook can the dealer call and ask question , i would recommend a ban on such dealers.

Peace @ All

You call it the ONLY benefit? For me its the biggest benefit. Once I buy a product I don't want anything to do with the dealer. I don't want to be tied to a single outlet in the country when I have the choice to go to hundreds all over the country.

Peace @ All
With you around? :lol:

Anyway thanks a lot for not using upper case sentences. Now if only you could break the sentences into paragraphs I would be able to ready beyond the first line without getting frustrated.
