Buyer Beware
Too bad I didn't research this product before shelling out $400 at

I got the same warranty again, but it cost me about 75 bucks.
Guess they were learning their lesson.
And I wasted 75 bucks this time.
I always ask what they want for the replacement warranty when I get
items like this. Usually they don't make financial sense, but
sometimes they do.
