My original warranty period is just about up (It doesn't seem like it's been two years already), and I'd like people's opinions on the value of the extended warranty. Is it worth a credit card charge every month? Except for the recent hook issue, I've had no problems with my "girl" since she arrived. However, I know how most electronics and vehicles respond to a change in value - when we pay off a car it usually has instant problems, and when a manufacturer's warranty runs out it's a sign that we'll be repairing or buying a new piece of equipment fairly soon. (For example, we had an unexpected windfall of cash this week, and one of our rain gutters fell off the house to use up the cash). SO - is everyone out there purchasing the extended warranty or not - and why? Connie Wyvern Productions Painting masterpieces in thread. http://www.wyvernproductions.com
