I will probably sell my gear at some point in the future, and the inclusion of box and cards will close to double the resale price, especially on relatively rare items. I do, however, send Leica a letter advising them of my purchase and of the serial number of the purchased item. Under US law, in any event, you cannot be forced to 'register' to obtain warranty protection. To the contrary, your warranty automatically goes into effect upon purchase. Finally, the LUG occasionally breaks a bit anti-capitalist. Well, the primary reason a manufacturer wants you to 'register' a warranty is for demographic purposes for marketing research. I'm just too bloody stubborn to want to make their marketing department's job easier than it already is. Besides, I'm so eccentric I don't fit into any of their categories, anyway! My buying patterns are readily predictable: when I'm broke, I don't buy, when I have some money, I buy used, when I'm flush, I buy new. Marc Marc James Small Cha Robh Bas Fir, Gun Ghras Fir!
