people that buy extended warranties are idiots.

except on laptops where you may actually need to use that warranty, especially if you're not willing to shell out another $500-1000 for a new system.

LOL. Didn't mean to laugh at your situation but that is INSANE. The salesperson that told you that needs to be shot. That is very slimy indeed.

No worries, it was more than 10 years ago so I've wised up in the meantime. However, as I recall, it was like a $50 warranty on a $250 top-of-the-line portable device, and at the time my big concern was what would happen if it died and I couldn't get a replacement for exactly the same thing.

Now, I will admit - I *have* heard of some companies going to these lenghts to make customers happy. CC is not one of them. Lol.

PS: For portable devices, I actually think that complete replacment policies used to be the norm... (extended warranties have gotten more and more shady over the years)

No complete care from Dell in NY.

I go to pick up the player and ask what the paperwork says about water damage. There was nothing there but a denial of service note. I ask what the Cityadvantage warranty is good for and before I can get the sentece out, he looks at it, says it looks like it is fine and then says "how far are you from home". I ask why and he says they should have just swapped it without sending it in and gives me a new unit with a new battery, sans the cords I had at home. Along with that, the price was $20 cheaper, so I got a gift card that bought Shark Tale for the kids.

All that and the wife says I can get a new electronic drum set for Valentine's Day. Pinch me, I must be dreaming.

I've actually had good luck with the extended warrenty on my bigscreen TV from CC and I say it was worth the $$. Most times I would not ever buy it except for laptops and Big screens.
