New or old if you bought a remote without a serial number,
the seller was definately out to screw you, but make sure
he didn't get screwed himself so he removed the serial
number.
I doubt that a seller would have removed a serial number, they have no reason to, however an authorized distributor who was distributing them in a way against URC policies may have to prevent them from being traced back to them. Very possibly the seller had no idea the serial number was removed and was as much a victim in receiving the remote from their supplier.
