Best Buy warranty[ Parent ] (none / 0) (#29)
by jwboyes on Mon Nov 19, 2007 at 09:55:52 AM PDT

While as a general rule I do not buy extended warranties, several years ago I had gone through several VCRs in a similar number of years, I decided to get one of their 4 year if-you-return-it-three-times-you-get-a-new-one warranties. After about 3 months it broke, they fixed it, another year and it broke again and they fixed it. As I was coming down the stretch run toward the end of the warranty, it broke again and took it back and told them I wanted a new one. In the mean time, something very interesting happened to the prices of VCRs. They had been cut by at least 50%, possibly more. They allowed me the full price I had originally paid on a replacement. That basically allowed me to buy the best VCR on the floor with a new 4 year warranty. My Sony is still operating fine. So on this one at least, I came out fine
