    First time posting on this site. Pumped to be here. Question though. Just found a Marcum lx-9 less than a year old on CL for $550. Only used a handful of time and “complete”. Hopefully not too good to be true. I am wondering though, what is Marcum’s warranty in terms of transferability? Does the 2 year warranty move with the unit? Thanks so much

    I’m not sure about the warranty but I’d be much more concerned that it’s hot. Or some kind of scam.

    Thats what I was thinking too. Seems like its too good to be true. The person said they are trying to make some money for the holidays because the husband had been randomly laid off. Not sure what to do. I would hate to miss out on a deal like this.

    Well, ultimately it is against the law to buy stolen property. If it turns out that it’s stolen, it would only be taken from you and you be out your money.

    It is your responsibility to do what you can to make sure it’s legit. Ask some questions. Do they have a receipt? If so, your warranty would probably be valid.

    Where did they buy it? Where do they mainly fish? What do they fish for?

    Ask them if it’s stolen if you have any doubt.

Trying not to get to excited but this unit would change my life!! ) hopefully after tomorrow I’ll have a new toy! Now all we need is some ice…

    If you meet at their house, I’d say its legit.

    I guess to answer my own question though, I heard back from marcum and the warranty does NOT transfer. Bummer! I know big_g!! ) I’m hoping and praying this is legit!!

    Marcum’s customer service is so great, if you have any issues, they will most likely take care of you. I have walked in with my unit, and my dads two separate occasions. My unit I had the receipt but they didn’t even ask for it. “Whats wrong, ok yep you can pick it up in two days.” My dads I had bought off craigslist two years later the motor stopped, same thing, they fixed it right up.

    The only thing that I can find that is not quite right, is the protective glass thing that covers the lens on the manta. It is super scratched and the video is very fuzzy and blurry. I’m hoping I can just get a new little protective piece… Other than that, the battery is charging and I’m excited to get it out on some ice soon.

    Awesome deal! I have a 9 and learn more everytime I take it out. Trying every mode and messing with settings has me eager to go and hit the ice as often as possible. You will not be disappointed.
