This is impossibly insane. I sell lots of old camera gear from defunct companies. There is no way to repair it. Or items sold for parts - do they need a warrant

This is impossibly insane. I sell lots of old camera gear from defunct companies. There is no way to repair it. Or items sold for parts - do they need a warranty?
I've never seen any EU sellers state that their used goods have a minimum 1 year warranty. Further down, it seems this needs to be explicitly stated: "The legal warranty period for new goods in Germany is 2 years. For second-hand goods, it is 1 year if the buyer and seller expressly agree on this at the time of purchase."
- jacquesm 3y agoIt also isn't true. Private sales are exempt from warranty in most EU countries. For instance in Germany you'll see lots of professional car sellers sell vehicles 'privately' to avoid having to give a 1 year warranty.
