I'm considering buying another (pro) body, but from a private seller on Ebay. The body is UK, unregistered and brand new.
Where would I stand with the warranty as Nikon normally require a place of purchase for these agreements?

Thanks, Gary
 
I would have thought there would be an "Authorised Dealer" clause in the warranty small print
 
That's basicallly the question I'm asking. I'd hate to go ahead with a purchase and find there's no warranty because I didn't buy through Jessops or so.
 
You need a receipt from a Nikon UK authorised dealer for the warranty to be valid.
 
It would also depend on whether the receipt has the original owners name and address on it which a Jessops receipt will, you may get whatever is left of the 12 month warranty but the 2 year warranty is administered by homeserve so if you register in your name then provide a receipt in a different name they may void the claim
 
Thanks for all the replies, very much appreciated.

I've just this minute secured a body from an online dealer for a very good price, so will not be going the Ebay route after all. Weighing things up I would feel more secure in the knowledge that my purchase would have a full UK warranty and no hassles.

Thanks again, Gary
