Warranty isn't the issue. The previous poster said that Gateway would not
*sell" him a spare battery because he was not the original owner. That
strikes me as a foolish business decision, and would deter me from buying
a used gateway product.

Nor would I buy a new product that I knew I could not resell with relative ease.
