Recently a person was telling me how he got a great deal for this camera that he bought where it was an expensive item when it first came out. It would be a great addition for his business as he was looking to capture some higher quality work. It appeared that companies were clearing this product out which got him a great deal. However, the manufacturer has actually discontinued all support for the product. So if something goes wrong it is truly tough luck.
Wouldn’t you know it as with just a few days of ownership something did go wrong and now that he needs support for it his only option is to use third party service providers which can cost a lot in this case. It made me think would you ever dare to purchase no warranty and support equipment for your business if the price was extremely cheap? It can be anything such as a printer or even a vehicle.
I would tend to only do that if it is something that isn’t a necessity to the business. For example, maybe an extra monitor would be useful so if one was like 80% off then that could make sense to get and try that one versus paying for more expensive one. However, if it was like a vehicle that you would need to use to service people then that I would think is too risky.
