Went to Homebase today for some paint and picked up some fairy lights they had on offer. At the checkout they tried to sell me an extended warranty on them...

I picked up a couple of cheap rope lights they are getting rid of before xmas.
I guess they are told to ask this, - probably get told off if they don't.
Didn't ask me today, but did a couple of weeks ago when I bought some fairy lights
Did they ask if you wanted fries with them?
and I bet it does not cover the bulbs
It says on the box 'non replaceable LEDs'
I bought an empty hard disk case at PCW, they tried to sell me an extended warranty. Cost of case £8, cost of EW £15.
I love the EW sales at PCWm I watched a salesman sell a VDU harping on about this make was the best most reliable etc then as they got near the till he went on about it breaking down after the one year warranty ran out talk about double standards
But you use this on them: "If that's likely to break down, perhaps I'll think again" and make as if to walk. At which point it becomes the most reliable product ever shipped
On starting over here, I did buy extended warranties on my LCD TV and Dyson cleaner, nothing else, and they weren't silly prices.
Or you say ' thanks for the info - I really want this item - but if it's likely to break down I'll buy it from John Lewis and get their free five year warranty.'
