Warranty Transfers

Options
Hi,

Apologies in advance if already posted (tried search - nothing came up)

I recently bought a laptop off ebay that still has 6 months warranty left on it. I asked the seller to transfer the warranty but he was unable to as he also did the same thing and the original seller never transferred across to him. Warranty is transferable, but the company will not allow it as this has to be done by the original buyer who we cannot get hold of... at the moment I have goods with warranty but will never be able to use it... is there anything that can be done here?

cheers.

    The conditions of the warranty transfer are set out by the warranty provider.
    You appear to have read them.
    You seem to have purchased a useless warranty.

    You could purchase an external warranty I suppose, but not sure that I would bother.
