Poll: Extended warranties, necessity or shakedown?
Filed under: Misc. Gadgets

Oh sure, it preys on uninformed customers’ fears that their expensive new toys will break down a exactly 91 days after purchase and they’ll be left in the lurch — but sometimes those warranties can actually come in handy. That is, if you can convince the warranty people to pony up, which is just a step below the frustration of dealing with most HMOs. So, what’s your take on extended warranties?
