“The only thing that I buy extended warranties for are expensive cameras and cheap printers.”
—
I’d go along on the expensive cameras, but not the cheapo peripherals. If it doesn’t work out of the box, it’s usually easy to get a refund. But if we’re talkin’ about a $40 printer that’s turned to kee-rap after a year, it’s less trouble (for me) to junk it and get a new one.
Most the time the warranties and service agreements are just big money for the sellers.
I agree completely, except that in my experience a lot of printers give up the ghost after the return period is over, but before 2 years is up, especially one with a lot of bad user reviews because of failures. And almost none of these inexpensive printers will be serviced, you just get your money back. It's just a gamble, $5 to protect $60.
