POS extended warranty (none / 0) (#4)
by jabba17 on Tue Apr 10, 2007 at 06:51:01 PM PDT

99% of the time an extended warranty is a POS. The only time I would buy one is if I was buying a TV with a bulb in it (DLP, etc.), the warranty covered the bulb, and the warranty cost less than the bulb.

I bought a VCR at Costco for $79. Toshiba (the manufacturer) actually had a form in the box to buy an extended warranty for $79.99. ROFLMAO!

Anyone wanna bet that the GE extended warranty has an arbitration clause in it?
