Most of the Professional/Commercial Manufacturers require a reseller be AUTHORIZED to sell their product. This is to ensure that whoever is selling these things have the knowledge to help you with your purchase and provide end-user support.

2.

Many manufacturers specify what is called “MAP” price. This means “Minimum Advertised Price.” This is the lowest price any reseller is able to advertise a product for sale. If it’s advertised for lower – there’s a problem! This can mean several things – mostly that the person selling the product isn’t authorized to do so.

When a seller sells a product they aren’t authorized to sell, this will assuredly cause the warranty to be voided. See – getting what you pay for.

When prices are to low to believe – you may be getting duped into thinking you’re getting something that you’re not. Obviously, some products can be “knock offs” which mean they are not really what they say they are… but what we’re most concerned with here is that you won’t be getting what you’re SUPPOSED to get. For example: We’ve found some online stores out there that have incredibly low prices on projectors. Low and behold – the reason they can sell these projectors so low is because they removed the lamp, case and cables from the product. When you get your projector, it won’t work!! You then have to buy a lamp (often costing $500+) and if you need the accessories that were supposed to come with the projector – you’ll also have to buy those separately. This will make your purchase more expensive and more hassle than you ever intended.
