I fell for the extended warranty con a couple of times when they first started doing it. What wised me up was:
1. That the things I bought the extended warranty on never needed it.
2. The Simpsons when they are re-hammering the crayon back into Homer's brain to make him dumb again and he says, "Woo! Extended Warranty? How Can I lose!"
Most products that die will do so very soon after you start using them. Just a clever money spinner as gasbag was saying.
Noodling. It has nothing to do with catching fish. It's got to do with fish catching you.
