Extended Warranty? Please tell me that you are joking!

Mrs A visited our local Argos this morning to purchase a hand blender and was asked if she would like an extended warranty.
The thing only cost £6.99! :mad:

They soon move on.
If it had been £699, I wouldn't have taken out an EW. Don't believe in them.
Good for you...
If you would have broken it and then gone back and they wouldn't swap it then you would still moan. No pleasing some people.
If something goes wrong outside of the guarantee, I usually don't want to have another one of the same anyway, so I'd just get something else.
I don't break things.
The staff are trained to always try and sell an extended warranty, it's no different to them saying "have a nice day".
No you didn't.
buy a cheap tv for £100 for example and add a tenner for 5yrs piece of mind .
even if you bought a pocket radio for say £20 ,,,, for the sake of an extra £2 your covered
cant really argue with that .
They're both gambling!
Yes, Richer Sounds is the only place I would consider getting an EW from. Their prices are reasonable even if you add the 10% on for the EW. If you don't claim in the 5 years you can even get the 10% back again if you remember to claim it.
However, the minimum cost is £9.99 so the second example above doesn't work I'm afraid.

If it's broken they have to swap it, it's the law, the 1979 sale of goods act or something.
oh right i didn't know about the minimum ,,,,,,,, it wasn't always the case , things must have changed .
I said if THEY had broken it.
Accidental or deliberate damage isn't covered by basic warranties or sale of goods legislation, it's an insurance issue (but in the case of the O/P probably not worth bothering claiming for anyway. I wouldn't for something costing less than a tenner even if the policy covered it and there's excesses of course....).
but for an item under 10-20 pound?
