For what it's worth:

I went to a Sanyo consumer complaint site. Apparently, the problem you have is very common to Sanyo TVs. One person called it a panel board problem, another called it a PCB board problem, and others left it unnamed.

It generally seemed to run $200-$250 to fix, with no promise that it won't happen again.

I hate those things, but took a rock to the windshield on a business trip.

I still don't have any idea where you got this idea that I'm in debt.

I know you are in debt because you are always the first one to defend using a credit card. It's like a drunk that does not think he is an alcoholic.

I just bought a Samsung 55 inch plasma, 1080, all bells and whistles. Super sale at Nebraska Furniture Mart for 650. Beautiful picture. 4 year warranty etc.

Think of the $250 as rental money. Would you pay $250 to rent that TV for 1-3 years? The way advances are happening in televisions today, that's a call that can go either way, IMO.

I hate that hard sell shit you have to go through when you rent a car. My company uses National, thankfully, we "skip the counter" all the time and don't deal with that crap. I think our contract with National has us protected from those types of accidents. But when we have to use another service, I usually just say yes, whatever, give me whatever you want and let me get the hell out of this airport.

I thought all credit cards automatically gave you rental car insurance like that, almost every article I've read praising credit cards lists the rental car insurance as a reason. But the asshole at Enterprise or whatever one time told me my credit card didn't cover anything. I felt like he was lying to me there, but I just bought the insurance anyway to get the hell out of there.

Are you related to googlegoogle?

R8ers · 03-13-2011, 10:29 PM

You know what Daface, I have that receipt right here and I bought that TV on my Visa card on a Saturday in May because the bank was closed...

I did pay it in full as soon as the bill came in though...

And you're a ****ing toothless moron.

I haven't paid for a hotel room in more than a decade. I've stayed at 4 and 5 star hotels in Italy, Tahiti, Hawaii, Mexico, Rome, Florence, Venice, Munich and many stateside hotels during that time.

Why?

Because I charge EVERYTHING to my credit card and let is work for ME.

But of course, you're far too ****ing retarded to understand the concept, which is why you're stuck with a $1,000 dollar, piece of ****ing shit TV that's broken after one year.
