Local Craigslist sighting, a Steven Hill (don't look, it mine)!
Curious if the warrantee transfers to 2nd owner, I rang Skutt support this afternoon.
Laura (a real person!) confirmed, the warrantee does transfer! She also traced the serial and passed along the date of sale, confirmed the model, etc.
Wow, thanks!
If I score the wheel, I'll post an update ; if not ... I'll keep looking.
