I bought square trade mostly because the kindle was a gift and prices were higher at the time.
"Extended warranties are for suckers. They are nearly universally a bad deal for the consumer."
Depends. I used to sell things indirectly for john deere. We weren't a dealership but some would say "Why should I buy an extended warranty from you guys when the John Deere dealership is down the street?" good question...
the employees at that dealership were very rude and inconsiderate to the point where we lost sales when we said the service could be performed by them!
The dealership closed and customers came back wanting to know if we could service them..sorry..you didn't buy the extended plan. The nearest dealerships after they closed were at least 30 miles away.
With electronics sure I can see the argument..it lessens when it is something that is portable. If it's something that is physically worn out and performs mechanical tasks then I'd tend to recommend it.
