Someone in the Sears warranty department is smoking crack

[ultimatebob]

Yesterday in the mail I got a notice from Sears that the 1 year warranty on my $89 19" LCD TV is about to expire.

They offered to renew it for an additional year for the low low price of $75, or for two years for $125.

You gotta be kidding me, right? Who would be crazy enough to do this??

You'd be surprised. There are a lot of stupid people out there.

That's almost as good a deal as the extended service and replacement warranty I just bought at Best Buy with my new 16Gb USB flash drive. Like a boss.

And just where do you suppose they're getting the money for the crack?

I don't see how this is going to work. You need something that they can try to fix for you.

lol extended warranties.

I think everyone in the Sears warranty department is smoking crack. That's the only way to get through the day.

some old people don't get consumism and prefer to keep wasting money, repairing TVs and stuff, also to avoid the adaptation effort.
