  on Audio Equipment Manufacturer Threatens Amazon Reseller With 'Mandatory Jail Time'
  Wow, this has really blown up. That was not my attention when I brought it to the amazon sellers forum. I was just looking for advice from larger and more experienced sellers. If you really want to know if the emails from Marta are real you can contact her at the Velodyne website or visit the Velodyne website page that lists me as an unauthorized seller of their products.

  on Audio Equipment Manufacturer Threatens Amazon Reseller With 'Mandatory Jail Time'
  I was one of several amazon sellers listing this specific headphone on amazon as "new". That's the norm for amazon. I sell less than 20 or 30 items on amazon a month. I have a real job and sell a few things online to make extra money (i.e., son just started college).
  All of the items that I list as "new" are in fact "new". What I have learned is that I might not be able to list items as "new" but rather "like new" if I can't supply a manufacturer warranty.

  Yes, Marta of Velodyne came on pretty strong and probably lied about her legal pursuit against me. I sold the item on amazon as "new" because it was new. It was shipped to the buyer unopened and in the same condition that it was received in.
  I have learned that I can't list an item as "new" if I'm not able to provide a manufacturer's warranty. Most small amazon sellers do the same. Amazon might need to change it's policy about requirements of "new" items.

  I never realized how much attention this matter would get. I am the one who put the Velodyne headphone on amazon to sell.
  
  I don't do this for a living. Like many amazon sellers I do this on the side - selling a few items a month for a little extra cash.
  
  I was not aware that I couldn't list an item as "new" if I wasn't also able to provide a warranty with the item. I would wager that most small sellers on amazon do the same thing.
  
  Marta Hall and I came to an agreement. She is no longer pursuing me legally.
  
  Thanks, Joseph
