Extended Warranties (none / 0) (#1)
by Anonymous User on Fri Nov 16, 2007 at 04:58:53 AM PDT

In spite of what many people think, extended warranties are NEVER a good deal for the purchaser. In most cases, as much as half of the extended warranty sales price goes to the salesman that sucked you in, and the balance is such a pittance you should not expect to get anything in return anyway. If you really appreciate the salesmans effort, TIP him, you will both be happier! Then take the balance of what you would have paid for the warranty, and put it away for a replacement when the day comes that you need one. You will be much happier with a new component, than a repaired one, and based upon the progression of technology it will most likely be a much better component, and more reliable.
