Extended Service Warranty's

[bigloo]

I dont by these, I self insure. Figure this... if you bought a TV, washer/dryer, Bluray, etc, etc and add up all the warranties, if probably adds up to more then replacing the most expensive item. A better deal is to use an AMEX card for major purchases, they double manufacturers warranties for up to 2 years for free. Adding this into the equation, make these store offered warranties even more expensive. Anyway, I am gald you got to use it and enjoy the new TV but honestly, you rolled the dice and got lucky. Generally speaking you are better off self-insuring unless you are the most unlucky person in the world. Take the cash and go shopping... $1800 buys a LOT these days! Enjoy it.
