You should be able to register it now so long as it was never registered before. If push comes to shove, you can identify a retailer. If you get the identity of the seller wrong, then why can't pfaff correct it if they know which retailer sold it. And if they won't work with you, be a complainer and bug them. If they say no, ask for a supervisor. And keep going up until you can get some satisfaction. ;-) Since you are on Skye, they should see from your address that there isn't a close retailer (I assume). Good luck!!
